Lenovo ThinkAgile HX Series vs StorMagic SvHCI

Both stand on hyperconverged infrastructure (hci) solutions. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.

SvHCI packages virtualization and storage into a managed appliance with two-node availability and centralized controls. The one-node or two-node limit and lack of external-storage support are important deployment constraints.
