I've consulted at a two places in my country that have upgraded their adhoc VMWare setups to VxRail (converged storage and compute or something).

Looking at the vendor costs and what benefits an organization seems to get from a VxRail appliance I didn't really see it as a justified purchase for any organization. So I've started research on VxRail and reading case studies etc. One thing I've noticed is that there are zero mentions of VxRail in HN (I tried searching both with Google and Algolia). Why is that?

With Docker, Kubernetes or just KVM and a decent clustered storage solution (Ceph?) can I achieve basically the same level of service but with open solutions?
