Sr System Engineer at a outsourcing company with 501-1,000 employees4.0I found the Celerra NS 40 provides superb performance and high-speed data transfer, ideal for my processing needs. Its central monitoring is great, but it is bulky, heavy, and requires powerful cooling.

Highly scalable and reliable SAN with fiber channel connectivity but bulky in size and consumes a lot of power

Valuable Features:


Hot spare disk system to take over the full workload in the event of a failure, at the same performance and service levels.
The data is clustered over multiple disks so data read/write access time is very low.
Fiber channel connectivity option for high speed data transfer.
Single point of management/control.
Customized version of Linux OS hence much higher security.


Room for Improvement:


Very bulky and heavy in weight.
Needs high power cooling.


Other Advice:


My data processing company needed storage for keeping the data and processing the same storage via application but none could provide such high speed of data transfer/processing power.
At last we bought this Celerra NS 40, with 17 TB of space which is giving superb performance. Now we have two of them.
As a system administrator I am quite happy with the central monitoring systems which give me a better UI to monitor the system.
