Find out in this report how the two File and Object Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are its scalability and Amazon S3 compatibility because we can move back and forth with a hybrid cloud."
"It is very durable and that is particularly important."
"The cost was the main reason we chose to use this solution."
"The tool has S3 capability. Its scalability is excellent. From a security and encryption perspective, the solution supports SSL encryption. It is a seamless solution offering data encryption, quality service, and security encryption."
"Data is stored in two different places, leveraging more security and availability. Therefore, network problems are having less affect on iSCSI."
"Simplicity of not having to buy FC or FCoE SAN. Instead, we buy servers with their own storage."
"Thin provisioning lets us get the most value from the hard drives."
"StoreVirtual is that it is our software-defined solution and it's everywhere."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't had any issues with glitches or bugs."
"The seamlessness behind the scenes of block management."
"The solution is very stable."
"The network RAID feature gives us maximum availability, since we cannot afford any downtime, even for a second."
"It is a cloud-based environment and at times, it is not very simple to use."
"Cloudian HyperStore needs to incorporate AI and predictive analysis. It would be helpful if the solution could analyze and predict how to manage data better. The end users should not have access to protected documents. They should be able to drop the documents. The capacity management dashboard can be better. We also want two-factor authentication using Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator as MFA. Hence, the user would access the console not just by logging in with a password and username but with third-party applications as well."
"As it is an S3 solution with the same protocol as the one we have with AWS, having better integration with AWS will be beneficial."
"it would nice to have deduplication or compression, things that you have in some of the higher end products."
"The product is coming to end-of-life in the next three years."
"In our country, Qatar, most of the industry isn't using too much HP. StoreVirtual doesn't move fast. It's not a popular product."
"The penalty for the availability is performance. So, you have to balance or choose between the availability and the performance."
"It is a costly solution."
"Configuration of application integrated snapshots for VMware is convoluted and it did not work immediately."
"The GUI is a bit old-fashioned. It should be updated."
"User interface could be improved."
