Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, IBM, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Modular SAN (Storage Area Network)."Service from EMC was extremely good. Whenever a disk had a problem, EMC was right on top of it. In some instances, they called me before I even knew what was going on."
"It has improved uptime, as well as speed to delivery."
"The biggest benefit is the fact that it's pretty much bulletproof; we never have any issues with them."
"This solution has allowed for massive performance acceleration of all workloads and massively increased availability (with peer persistence/transparent failover feature)."
"We went to an Active-Active data center, set it up to where both data centers are separate, but they act as one. We can have workloads at either side at any given time, and it is all based on the Peer Persistence architecture."
"If it runs, and you don't know about it, that is the best thing that you can have in IT infrastructure. This is what 3PAR does for us."
"We use all the features, but some of the most valuable are the replication, priority optimization, provisioning, and deduplication. There are a lot of good features in this product."
"It is worry-free. I do not have to sit there and tend it."
"We have been able to back up our data more frequently now that we have everything on flash. It responds a lot faster, so the IOPs are a lot faster."
"It needs better deduplication. Deduplication was costing too many resources, hence we never used it."
"I would like to see improvement in the product's scalability. As a partner, I had serious problems because of the competition from Dell EMC and Pure."
"The management interface is not intuitive."
"This solution is becoming dated."
"Generally, the management of the multiple systems that we have is really the only problem, always having to go to all these separate tools to manage everything."
"The configuration and flexibility should improve."
"We have had some challenges in the Arabic implementation and in migration, but for daily work, it's fine."
"The tool needs improvement in the utilization report at the granular level."
"The speed of the hard disk could be better. The performance is the main issue for us. The performance of the VMs is not comparable to desktop machines, for instance, and we might need another solution to improve the performance. Other than that, we don't have any issues. We already have a great part of storage with SSDs, and the performance is not as good as I expected."
