I have been using Windows Server 2022 since upgrading from the 2019 version. I have been using it mainly for managing infrastructure, domain controls, even network file access as well as a variety of other things. Compared to the 2019 version, this one feels more refined and offers better stability. I especially enjoy its security features and hybrid cloud readiness.

5. HPE SimpliVity

By Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)

4.4

When it is working , it works fantastic. When it is not working, most of the time we need to engage HPe Engineer to work on it. Not working as in hardware failure (and then everything breaks) until need to rebuild the setup. However, to be fair, the issue only happen at a particular sites. So i am not sure if it is due to environmental factors such as high dust environment. Other than that, other sites are working flawlessly. Only complain is pretty hard to navigate HPe sites to obtain software for upgrade the appliance version.Read all insights and reviews for HPE SimpliVity

6. Dell VxRail

By Dell Technologies

4.6

We replaced our prev solution with Dell Unity infrastructure with Dell Vxrail in early 2024. The implementation by Dell, was very straightforward and everything was up and running within a couple of weeks of getting delivered. Before we moved any production servers to the the Vxrail, we wanted to go through a firmware upgrade to make sure the "one button" upgrade worked as expected and there was no downtime. The "one button" upgrade worked perfectly, with no impact to the test systems that we had migrated to the environment. We have since gone through several upgrades with production servers running on the Vxrail without any operational impact. We had a Vxrail node have a hardware failure and the Vxrail migrated the workloads off the node and shut it down without any operational impact. Once the node was repaired, Vxrail balanced the workloads across all of the nodes without any operational impact. Overall, the Vxrail clusters have been incredibly reliable and resilient, resulting in no downtime due to the Vxrail. Read all insights and reviews for Dell VxRail
