Cloud storage has simplified SAN and NAS management and now optimizes costs and provisioning
The best features of Everpure Cloud include a consumption-based model, where there is no need for on-premises storage space. I only pay for the size I use, and there are continuous moderation sessions, so hardware upgrades and software enhancements are not required. All of these are managed in the back end, suggesting necessary updates. The consumption-based model benefits my team and organization by allowing us to easily buy the required space and sizes for cloud-based storage. I do not need to add any nodes or controllers to the array side, which helps us reduce costs. Additionally, with this moderation session approach, I might use a storage array for three to five years before needing to buy something else, which I can avoid with cloud storage. The main advantage of the features is that I can buy and pay for whatever model I choose, making budgeting easy and cost-efficient. Everpure Cloud positively impacts my organization by enabling me to provision LUNs and manage everything from the cloud side conveniently. If any hardware issues arise, I need to contact the data center team; however, having everything on a single platform allows me to resolve issues easily and minimizes downtime.

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."
"CA 1 is our intake management system, and it's just one of the best products out there."
"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."
"To me, the CA 1 tool is the industry standard."
"Literally everything about the product is great!"
"The Vault Management function keeps track of where a tape should be and tells the operators which tapes should be sent offsite, and which ones should return."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"Sometimes it does not detect all chaining errors and the reporting on them could be improved as well."
"The product itself is fairly complex so the install is as well."
"Installation and customization could be improved."
"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 solution's cost needs improvement."
"I would like to see improved unified storage capabilities. Although they call it unified storage, Everpure Cloud is lagging behind for file workloads."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price could be better."
