A stable solution for data storage with professional support
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is very stable and reliable"

    What is our primary use case?

    We use the solution as a home directory for our HPC cluster. The users store important and reliable data on it. We are not using it for IO-intensive operations but as a reliable storage.

    What is most valuable?

    The solution is very stable and reliable. We guarantee our users' snapshots and the long life of data. Also, the support is professional and nice. It is simple and powerful.

    What needs improvement?

    As a company, NetApp may consider working with ARL systems.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using NetApp FAS Series for around five years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The product is stable.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    The solution is scalable to some extent.

    We have 400 nodes in one cluster and 1400 nodes in another cluster. Around 800-900 users are using the solution.

    How are customer service and support?

    The support is professional. They provide answers in a very short period.

    How would you rate customer service and support?

    Positive

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    We've used Dell solutions. NetApp is easier and simpler to manage. It's more reliable and stable. The basic features work more consistently on the NetApp website.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup is easy.

    What other advice do I have?

    The tool is very easy to maintain. Even for desk sales, they have some automatic workflow to send an RMA, place the desk and ship a new one.

    Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

    An enterprise storage solution that is deployed in banking and insurance companies, but it stability could be improved
    Pros and Cons
    • "HPE 3PAR StoreServ is an enterprise storage that is mainly deployed in enterprise scenarios like banking and insurance."
    • "The solution’s stability could be improved."

    What is most valuable?

    HPE 3PAR StoreServ is an enterprise storage that is mainly deployed in enterprise scenarios like banking and insurance.

    What needs improvement?

    The solution’s stability could be improved.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    I rate HPE 3PAR StoreServ an eight out of ten for stability.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    Around 20 customers use the solution extensively in their companies.

    I rate HPE 3PAR StoreServ a seven out of ten for scalability.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup is straightforward if it is a single server. If there are multiple servers, the initial setup becomes complex.

    What about the implementation team?

    A single server takes an hour to be deployed.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    The solution has two parts: software and hardware, and you need to buy licenses for some features.

    What other advice do I have?

    One admin is enough to maintain the solution if it is single storage. A complex environment with a heavy workload will need more people to maintain the solution.

    I would recommend HPE 3PAR StoreServ to users based on their use cases.

    Overall, I rate HPE 3PAR StoreServ a seven out of ten.
