Outsourcing cloud operations has improved uptime and supports 24x7 incident monitoring
CDW Managed Cloud Services is useful for cloud operations, but there are areas for improvement such as pricing transparency and the onboarding process. Cloud migration and onboarding may require detailed planning and coordination, indicating that transitioning workloads and support responsibilities can take time. Another needed improvement is the dependency on an external managed team. Organizations may rely on a third-party provider for some operational activities, and there is a need for improvement from CDW Managed Cloud Services since internal teams may depend on external escalations or support processes. Regarding the onboarding process, cloud migration and onboarding may require detailed planning and coordination, indicating that transitioning workloads and support responsibilities can take time. Reporting granularity, including more customizable reporting and dashboard depth, could also improve operational insights, as teams may want deeper cloud performance or cost breakdown reports.

Seamless upgrades have boosted reliable block performance and simplified data center operations
Using block storage with Everpure Evergreen One has helped my production workloads primarily through performance and reliability. The performance is excellent because of Pure's simple architecture with just two controllers. Everpure Evergreen One offers exceptional features, including hardware that is compact and does not occupy multiple racks in data centers. The cooling and electricity savings are significant, and the ease of management means that even someone without any experience can manage Pure. The ease of management has helped my team because storage provisioning is straightforward. You can provision storage with just two clicks without waiting. There is no spinning, no loading, nothing—just one action, assuming you have already completed the zoning and added the hosts and host groups. Everpure Evergreen One has positively impacted my organization because the Evergreen model provides a hardware refresh every three years, essentially giving you new hardware and better performance, which is one of the coolest things. From these hardware refreshes, I have seen specific outcomes including no downtime at all. I performed a controller upgrade from M series to X, and it was seamless—no downtime, just one controller replacement at a time, with no performance issues and data still accessible.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CDW Managed Cloud Services has positively impacted my organization by reducing internal cloud management effort through outsourcing day-to-day cloud operations, resulting in reduced operational overhead, a better security and compliance posture, and enhanced business continuity."
"CDW built things from the ground up for us, did everything for us and then handed it off and showed us how to use it, freeing up about half of our summer project time and ensuring everything was set up correctly and securely."
"What I like most about CDW Managed Cloud Services is that it is short and concise; it was about getting the configs in place, getting directly to the information we need when we need it, and then getting back focused on being profitable."
"Our expectations have been met in terms of services delivered on time, on budget, and on spec."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services has positively impacted my organization by reducing costs, being more efficient and secure to use, and offering a user-friendly platform that gives quick access to all features in a single cloud service portal."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services acts as a gateway between us and Microsoft, providing highly technical resources that save us from going to Microsoft frequently and reduce costs since Microsoft support depends on hours purchased."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services has found pitfalls and various things in the infrastructure, e.g., in routes, IP ranges, and security loopholes, that didn't need to be there. They stripped it down and went to a very flat topography, making it less complicated. So, there are less things to trip over and go wrong, which means less downtime."
"Their proactive alerting is valuable. They'll try and apprise us of issues before they become problems. I find that very valuable."
"My advice to others looking into using Everpure Evergreen One is to stop looking at other solutions; you have already found the best one."
"Pure Storage has the highest Net Promoter Score in the market."
"Everpure Evergreen One has positively impacted my organization by improving sales, enhancing performance of the Pures, strengthening support, and providing our clients with more security in their storage."
"Everpure Evergreen One has positively impacted my organization because it is an easy sell regarding flash storage."
"Everpure Evergreen One has been my go-to storage platform for years, positively impacting my organization."
"Everpure Evergreen One has positively impacted my organization as I can share specific outcomes or metrics from partnering with Everpure, for example, it has helped attract more clients and improve our demo success rates."
"Everpure Evergreen One has impacted my organization positively because, as an SI company, when we buy it in bulk and share it among multiple other customers, it helps us with the shared model and how we can handle the entire workload."
"My advice to others looking into using Everpure Evergreen One is that if you're looking for low maintenance on the technical side and happy upper management, Everpure Evergreen One is probably the best option to keep your business flowing smoothly without any interruptions, making everyone happy, including the customers who are paying."
 

Cons

"The ticket system is a little clunky for Managed Cloud Services. There is no ticket category for Managed Cloud Services, per se."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services needs to implement a chatbot and enhance their AI capabilities."
"They can maybe improve the scheduling. There have been times where I wanted to schedule something, and there was a conflict on their side as to who can do it and when and why, but other than that, they have been pretty stellar."
"The ticket system is a little clunky for Managed Cloud Services. There is no ticket category for Managed Cloud Services, per se. It's a little awkward when trying to find a way to put a ticket in. It's just not streamlined enough and doesn't take you step-by-step. And it doesn't seem to have all the categories I need. If I'm putting in a ticket for AWS or AppStream, there is no category for them."
"Operationally, needed improvements include having customization and flexibility since standard service tiers may not fully fit all our needs."
"I would like to see them improve when it comes to helping develop an interface to this environment that's more user-friendly. We're introducing people to the use of a type of cloud scenario that they're not familiar with. We have to train them on and teach them how it's implemented. Having a little bit better interface would be helpful."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services needs to work on the costing for the license part, making it more affordable would be beneficial."
"We are still waiting on one thing, but it is not really CDW. It is just something from Microsoft."
"It would be nice to have support in Swedish."
"I would love to explore more options on what Pure Storage Evergreen One can offer in general, mostly from the cybersecurity perspective and air gap."
"Many customers report that the starting price is quite high. However, the overall total cost of ownership can be reduced over time due to features like the Evergreen architecture, which allows savings through less management and environmental benefits."
"Everpure Evergreen One could be improved by being slightly more flexible with the pricing model."
"The only potential drawback is that Pure Storage might be overkill if you don't need microsecond response times."
"To me, I think it's a little expensive. Then again, you get what you pay for."
"Customers are very happy with Everpure Evergreen One solutions; however, it could be improved with better prices and availability of new storage or flash arrays."
"I'm not sure if any improvements are needed."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"CDW Managed Cloud Services will not be cheaper than what you are doing on-premises. It will be more expensive."
"The biggest factor for us was cost, and at the time, CDW Managed Cloud Services was most efficient for what we needed."
"It is a little more complex than I would like, but I think that's more AWS than CDW. CDW actually saves us money in regards to the way they handle things. We get support without a six-figure commitment from the AWS side, and that's appreciated."
"The cost is very competitive and appropriate for what we get."
"We have used CDW’s free Recommendation Engine. That is what we use for the cost savings. It helped us find places to reduce our cloud costs."
"A lot of people see the cost, and they are like, "Well, that is a lot if we already have an internal IT person." It's like, "Well, you're not just getting that." You are getting access to resources and peace of mind, to say, "I don't have to worry about this server dying at 2:00 in the morning because these guys will handle it." I will wake up, and if there would have been a problem, it would have been addressed. It would have been notated and fixed."
"The pricing is very good."
