We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Some customers have chosen this solution for its features, benefits, and user-friendly interface.""Commvault is a user-friendly tool, so most people are happy to adopt this solution."

More Commvault Distributed Storage [EOL] Pros →

"Data is stored in two different places, leveraging more security and availability. Therefore, network problems are having less affect on iSCSI.""A very flexible solution.""I guess on the top of the list is certainly ease of use.""A company can scale it easily.""StoreVirtual is that it is our software-defined solution and it's everywhere.""Simplicity of not having to buy FC or FCoE SAN. Instead, we buy servers with their own storage.""The network RAID feature gives us maximum availability, since we cannot afford any downtime, even for a second.""Thin provisioning lets us get the most value from the hard drives."

More HPE StoreVirtual Pros →

Cons
"The solution does not support some cloud SaaS applications and has room for improvement with better integration to the storage array.""NAS backups and BNP protocol backups could be improved. We require some more advanced features. I would also like some features that would enable us to deploy faster, like an orchestrator or something."

More Commvault Distributed Storage [EOL] Cons →

"It would be nice if there were more parts available in Brazil and HPE could swap out faulty equipment quicker.""Configuration of application integrated snapshots for VMware is convoluted and it did not work immediately.""In our country, Qatar, most of the industry isn't using too much HP. StoreVirtual doesn't move fast. It's not a popular product.""The penalty for the availability is performance. So, you have to balance or choose between the availability and the performance.""The management aspect of the solution needs to be improved in order to make the product stronger.""Hardware and disk failures are happening frequently.""It is a costly solution.""it would nice to have deduplication or compression, things that you have in some of the higher end products."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The solution offers a yearly license and it is expensive."
  • More Commvault Distributed Storage [EOL] Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The prices are OK, so we don't have much difficulty selling HPE in Brazil."
  • "One of the key features about it is that when you buy either a VSA license or a StoreVirtual appliance, all your software's included."
  • "If you buy a five-year license, not only does the technical support expire after five years, but you also lose the ability to change and expand the VSA, and the systems won't go down."
  • "Licensing is not exactly straightforward, but not the worst I have ever seen."
  • "For our organization, I believe the cost is 16,000 Euros for a three-year license. It costs a bit more to do the maintenance on our servers as well. It's also on an HP ProLiant server and an organization will need to do the maintenance there also. I believe the price for that is around 2000 Euros a year."
  • "It costs less than $10,000 for one machine. If it costs more than 15% higher than this, then the customer may change to another solution."

    Overview

    Commvault® Distributed Storage delivers a modern, distributed approach to storing and protecting data on premises and in the cloud. CDS provides resilient yet simple distributed architecture for all modern workloads. Organizations can now have the predictability to grow with changing business requirements, converging digital services across both private and public cloud infrastructure to maximize their flexibility and overcome the rigidity and poor economics of traditional storage.

    Commvault® Distributed Storage natively spans multiple racks, datacenters, or sites across geographies and public cloud environments. It is truly software-defined, transforming commodity hardware into the most advanced storage solution available today for any hypervisor, application, or container environment.

    Commvault Distributed Storage Features:

    Predictable: Scale-out provides predictable performance, scale, and costs, giving you the flexibility you need as your business evolves. Automated and dynamic storage provisioning, integration with container orchestrators, and the ability to enable portable, persistent storage for containers with easy migration of applications between data center and public cloud helps you accelerate DevOps and drive innovation.

    Resilient: The distributed systems architecture distributes data across multiple locations – from on-premises data centers to the cloud – as it’s written. This distributed write maximizes availability and protects data from hardware failures from a single disk to an entire site, improving disaster recovery planning.

    Simple: Whether your data is on-premises or in the cloud, across block, file, or object storage, you can manage all of it with a single storage platform with a simplified presentation layer. The platform caters to specific workload needs with unique provisioning policies to ensure workload availability across environments while enabling the right storage technology (deduplication, compression, encryption, etc.) for the application.

    HPE StoreVirtual storage ensures that organisations can optimise the benefits of server virtualisation with cost-effective high availability and disaster recovery. The iSCSI-based, scale-out storage platform is easy to manage and change – meeting ongoing business demands without creating IT bottlenecks or application downtime. Overcoming the cost and management limitations of traditional storage area networks (SANs), HPE StoreVirtual nodes use storage clustering to form a single pool of resources that enable organisations to buy only what they need today, scaling non-disruptively to meet requirements in the future.
