Cisco MDS Series review
Sr. Cloud Systems Engineer at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Good zoning, stable, scalable, and the support is good
The scalability is good. We have three users in our organization who are using this solution. It is specifically for administration, and not for regular users. This is a management piece for the storage area network. Only storage administrative users, use it. We are increasing the usage. We have purchased some new switches.
Dell PowerVault review

Administrative ease and dependable support consistently enhance our operations
I would say my favorite features of Dell PowerVault are that it's pretty easy to use. It has been pretty stable. Firmware updates have been pretty easy to install and updates are pretty easy to do. Replacing a bad drive is fairly simple. It is just fairly easy to administer it.
Since 2012, we've had 867,370 professionals use our research.
