Top Beating Points of Nutanix NX Series
HTB: FusionCube vs Nutanix NX Series Top Beating Points of Nutanix NX Series Nutanix NX Series FusionCube Poor support for mission critical applications Support only pure virtual environments. Do not support the physical machine deployment architecture or hybrid deployment architecture. Cannot meet the reliability and performance requirements of mission critical applications. Support only 10GE/GE. The storage latency is high and cannot meet the performance requirements of mission critical applications. Supports high-performance InfiniBand networks and hybrid deployment of virtual and physical machines. Provide excellent performance and high reliability, meeting requirements of mission critical applications. Networks are not converged; poor integration; and complicated installation/deployment External switches required for all models, low integration, many cable connections, complicated and time-consuming installation/deployment, low reliability. Built-in switches, high integration, few cable connections, simple installation/deployment, high reliability Low performance NDFS-based, efficiency lower than block devices. Support only GE and 10GE networks and do not support low-latency InfiniBand networks. Provides block-based storage with an I/O efficiency higher than a file system. Supports 2 x 56G QDR InfiniBand high-speed networks, delivering a bandwidth 5x+ higher than that of Nutanix NX series. Small storage capacity in mainstream configurations Four NX3060 nodes support 24 x 2.5" SATA HDDs. A FusionCube 6000 chassis with 4 nodes supports 40 x 3.5" SAS/SATA HDDs.. High hardware failure rate Use OEM low-end servers such as Taiwan SuperMicro servers and support only SATA disks, all delivering high hardware failure rates. Uses Huawei servers, delivering high reliability. Supports SAS disks whose failure rates are low. Slow service response Management systems and factory services are provided by multiple vendors, resulting in use complexity and low service efficiency. Good service: Involves only one vendor, delivering high efficiency and convenient local vendor support. Nutanix NX series: poor support for mission critical applications, no network convergence, difficult deployment, low reliability

How to Defend: Nutanix NX Series
Deduplication for better storage utilization: Support 4 KB granularity fixed-length deduplication. Compression for better storage capacity utilization: Use Google Snappy compression/decompression algorithms and virtual machine granularity compression. They support the Inline and Post-process compression algorithms. Nutanix NX products introduce the complex deduplication and compression functions to better utilize hardware capacity but sacrifice system performance. Deduplication and compression greatly increase the license cost for customers (Nutanix charges 24% of the total price for licenses). In addition, they require many CPU and RAM resources, leaving less resources for applications. The improvement of storage utilization due to deduplication depends on system workloads: more improvement in scenarios such as VDI but less improvement in other scenarios.

FusionCube: Leading Performance
EVO:RAIL Distributed Object-based RAIN10 Architecture Server Server Server VM VM VM VM VM VM Volume 1 Volume 2 Volume 3 FusionSphere FusionSphere FusionSphere Client Client Client Objects indicate vmdk files, snapshots, swap partitions, and namespaces. Each of them is called an object. FusionStorage VSAN uses a RAIN architecture or redundant array of independent nodes. Currently VSAN is a RAIN-10 architecture at object level rather than a disk level. This means it creates copies of objects stripped across host in the cluster. VSAN can tolerate a failure of a HDD, a network or a host. 5.1.1 Number of Failures to Tolerate This property requires the storage object to tolerate at least NumberOfFailuresToTolerate of concurrent host, network or disk failures in the cluster and still ensure availability of the object. If this property is populated, it specifies that configurations must contain at least NumberOfFailuresToTolerate + 1 replicas and might also contain an additional number of witness objects to ensure that the object’s data is available (to maintain quorum in cases of split-brain), even in the presence of as many as NumberOfFailuresToTolerate concurrent host failures. Therefore, to tolerate n failures, at least (n + 1) copies of the object must exist and at least (2n + 1) hosts are required. NOTE: Any disk failure on a single host is treated as a “failure” for this metric. Therefore, the object cannot persist if there is a disk failure on host A and another disk failure on host B when you have NumberOfFailuresToTolerate set to 1. FusionCube: Segment physical disks into several partitions (usually thousands of partitions) based on the striping algorithm. Data on a logical disk is stored in multiple partitions to maximize I/O concurrency among multiple disks. EVO:RAIL: The distributed storage software VSAN adopts the RAID 10 mechanism to divide an object into 1–12 blocks (1 block by default) and then use the copy mechanism to copy blocks between two hard disks.

Top Beating Points of HP CS250
HTB: FusionCube vs HP CS250 Top Beating Points of HP CS250 HP CS250 FusionCube Not support mission critical applications. Supports only pure virtual environments. Do not support the physical machine deployment architecture or hybrid deployment architecture. Cannot meet the reliability and performance requirements of mission critical applications. Supports only 10GE/GE. The storage latency is high and cannot meet the performance requirements of mission critical applications. Supports high-performance InfiniBand networks and hybrid deployment of virtual and physical machines. Provides excellent performance and high reliability, meeting requirements of mission critical applications. Low reliability No hardware sub-health check: Hard disk issues cannot be handled promptly. Provides hard disk sub-health checks (read restoration, UNC, link intermittence, etc.). Hard disk issues can be handled promptly. RAID 5 or 6 must be rebuilt for a single node. If a hard disk fault occurs, the rebuilding takes a long time, affecting the performance of the entire cluster. Data rebuilding involves all nodes and takes less than 30 minutes/TB. Low performance Distributed storage architecture based on disk RAID arrays. Supports only GE and 10GE networks and do not support low-latency InfiniBand networks. Does not support E v3 or above high-performance processors (due to server heat dissipation causes). Block-based distributed storage architecture, P2P routing technology Supports full-series high-performance processors and high-performance application requirements. FusionCube delivers 3x-5x performance than CS250 with the same hardware configuration. Small storage capacity A system with four nodes supports 24 x 2.5-inch disks, and the maximum capacity of a single node is 7.2 TB. A single node supports 12 x 3.5-inch disks and a maximum capacity of 72 TB. Compatible with SAS/SATA disks.

How To Beat: Vblock/FlexPod vs. FusionCube
Top N Beating Point EMC Vblock/FlexPod FusionCube High initial configuration and expensive, but poor applicability Adopts a traditional architecture integrating blade servers, SANs, switches, and virtualization software. The minimum configuration is 24U or 42U with high specifications and high price, unsuitable for SMB and branch office scenarios. Adopts a hyper-converged architecture that requires a minimum height of 4U, which is low configuration. Easy to expand, cost-effective, easy to manage, wide application scenarios. Poor storage performance Adopts the scale-up architecture with 8G FC ports, shared cache, capacity usually less than 100 GB, IOPS usually less than 1 million, and throughput usually less than 20 Gbit/s. Adopts the scale-out distributed storage architecture that delivers good network performance (56G IB network with a latency less than 2 uS). The cache capacity increases linearly with the node quantity. The storage performance is outstanding: The IOPS per cabinet is 7.2 million, and the throughput per cabinet is 192 Gbit/s. Difficult management Split architecture, large number of components, complicated networking; multiple portals, complex management. In-depth integration of computing, storage, network, virtualization, and management. Easy to configure and manage. Bad scalability Different types of storage and computing hardware is used for different specifications, making linear expansion impossible. The poor scalability also increases original investment waste risks. Supports flexible hardware and software configuration, and hitless linear capacity expansion, protecting existing investments. Slow service response Components are provided by multiple vendors, making problem locating difficult and factory service response slow. Good service: Factory services are provided by a single vendor, delivering high efficiency. Provides local vendor support. Vblock/FlexPod: higher initial configuration, higher price, poor applicability, low performance, and complicated management

Oracle ExaData: few application scenarios, complex configuration, and low cost effectiveness
33
How to Defend: FusionCube vs. ExaData
Description FusionCube does not support SQL uninstallation technologies such as SmartScan, StorageIndex, and HCC. SQL uninstallation applies only to data warehouses and analysis-type queries. It does not improve most OLTP performance. FusionCube provides SSD storage and 56G FDR distributed storage and delivers much better I/O performance than ExaData. In certain scenarios such as full table scanning that fully depends on I/O capability, FusionCube performs much better than ExaData. FusionCube does not support compression. The compression technology is used to improve database capacity, but a high compression ratio also greatly affects the performance of update operations. It offers little help in actual application and is seldom used. ExaData supports storage QoS. Storage QoS works only when multiple databases are integrated. It provides limited value in OLAP and OLTP scenarios.
