Active-active protection has ensured continuous critical operations and simplified storage management
ActiveCluster is an active-active storage solution and is very important for data continuity. If one site goes down, I continue working as if nothing happened, which is crucial for business-critical applications and data. When discussing disaster recovery, there are three synchronizations. One is ActiveCluster, another is ActiveDR, which is not synchronous like ActiveCluster but usually has a one-second delay, and the third is asynchronous replication, which can be adjusted to any specific synchronization time, be it every five minutes or an hour. Regarding the integration capability with Pure1, Pure1 is cloud management software with multiple features that allows me to see my whole fleet. I can manage many things, get notifications about data usage indicating that I will run out of space in six months, and receive performance analytics. Pure1 also allows ordering services from Pure, including handling service cases for hardware, software, and software upgrades. Concerning the unified orchestration feature and automation, Everpure provides Pure Fusion, an automation tool integrated with Pure1 that helps simplify storage management for users, enabling them to focus on more important tasks beyond typical data storage administration. Everpure is special because it has the best ability to execute features and ensure ease of use. The features are well thought out and implemented, and its OS and hardware communicate in a way no other vendor does, providing significant advantages and predictable performance.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The tapes are mounted automatically. You can read a tape automatically without waiting for someone to insert it."
"To me, the CA 1 tool is the industry standard."
"It has become easy to backup and archive all our system data and financial data. It helps us mainly in managing the backup of our databases, and it is easy to retrieve that data and find it in a secure place."
"package that manages all of your tapes. Create/write/catalog, retention, delete. There are queries and reports, which are needed to know when/where/length keeping, etc., in order to track them or find out current status."
"The solution is stable."
"Literally everything about the product is great!"
"CA 1 is our intake management system, and it's just one of the best products out there."
"With this product, it all becomes automatic: locating the data, backing up the data, restoring the data. We can automate all that with it."
"Everpure is special because it has the best ability to execute features and ensure ease of use."
"Everpure Cloud is cost-effective, and in our comparisons with the Dell PowerMax solution we were able to negotiate better commercial terms while achieving performance that is similar and close to the same performance we get on PowerMax."
"Everpure Cloud positively impacts my organization by enabling me to provision LUNs and manage everything from the cloud side conveniently, and having everything on a single platform allows me to resolve issues easily and minimizes downtime."
 

Cons

"Sometimes it does not detect all chaining errors and the reporting on them could be improved as well."
"When we want to interface the CA 1 product with other vendors, IBM or others, it is difficult to interface it with them, because you need some exits, you need to compile some assemblers."
"The product itself is fairly complex so the install is as well."
"Installation and customization could be improved."
"The solution's cost needs improvement."
"In terms of areas for improvement in Everpure or Everpure Cloud, one negative feedback I often hear relates to pricing."
"I would like to see improved unified storage capabilities. Although they call it unified storage, Everpure Cloud is lagging behind for file workloads."
