Maxta
Maxta Hyperconvergence software gives IT the freedom to choose servers and hypervisors, scale storage independent of compute, and run mixed workloads on the same cluster. Unlike hyperconverged appliances, with Maxta there’s no vendor lock-in, no refresh tax and no upgrade tax. Use existing servers, buy pre-configured servers, or a combination of both. Appliances have a hidden cost. Never repay for software when you refresh hardware. Most storage and even hyperconverged solutions can only manage policies at the LUN, volume, or cluster level. Maxta lets you run multiple applications on the same cluster without sacrificing performance or availability. Appliance-based hyperconverged solutions make you repurchase the software license when you refresh hardware and add storage capacity only by adding additional appliances. You own your Maxta software forever and can add storage capacity by adding additional drives to servers.

Lenovo ThinkAgile VX Series
Typically installing a new hyperconverged infrastructure is very much a do-it-yourself project. Customers must configure, test, debug, optimize, validate, etc., on their own. However, the ThinkAgile VX Series eliminates time and effort by completing those steps before it leaves the factory. The VX series arrives at your doorstep with everything you need to get started and with Lenovo professional services to do the installation and configuration for you. A successful hyperconverged solution requires a reliable platform. The ThinkAgile VX Series integrates the world’s most reliable servers from Lenovo with VMware vSAN to provide a solid foundation for growing business. VX Series offers configuration flexibility to meet any use-case, and all systems are available in all-flash or hybrid configurations. Scaling compute or storage capacity is easy, you can start small, with as few as 3 nodes, and add more storage capacity to each node or add more nodes to scale performance and capacity.
