Works at AIT

When we started the process of looking for a SAN vendor I had four primary criteria: reliability, performance, cost, and simplicity. We were really looking for a unicorn and were fully expected to have to make compromises in one of those areas. The Nimble CS-Series was recommended by our solutions provider, and we were blown away. Not only was it the most affordable option, but it was the easiest to deploy, had the best performance, and has proven to be reliable with 100% uptime.

In an on-premises four-server cluster where there was a replication VNX5300 on a different location for backup and disaster recovery purposes It didn't perform as advertised because the instant snapshotting feature while working as advertised slowed down the performance of the entire storage…

IT Specialist at a healthcare company with 501-1,000 employees

When selecting a vendor there are many criteria we look at but those that come to mind are scalability, security, resilience. I think it's a good solution. It has many benefits, features that are of interest for many customers. With the new system, the Unity, many of the deficiencies of the VNX were solved. But the VNX offers features and stability that other products don't. It's really reliable.

Valuable Features

"Multi-tiering, positively affects the efficiency of the storage space."
"The implementation of both block and file system storage in a single GUI provides is better situated than most other storages."
"From my point of view, the configuration that I can sell is restricted to the EMC best practices. It is hard to make a mistake in a solution. It means the configuration has good performance and scalability options."

Room for Improvement

"The scalability is average because the storage has some hardware limitations and, obviously, operating system limitations."
"If the VNX had embedded encryption, that would be great."
"The administrative console (Navisphere/Unisphere) needs some improvement, especially on their Java-based GUI. The updated version of Java is not compatible."

Pricing

"Reducing dependency on JavaServer Pages (JSP) could improve the administrative overhead."
"The initial pricing and licensing are reasonable, the yearly EMC is more expensive"
"Pricing is somewhat higher, especially in Zambia, perhaps due to the low sales volume."

These insights are based on the in-depth reviews provided by peers to help you make a better buying decision.
