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 →

"You can control resources on a per VM basis to ensure that contention in resources does not hamper performance.""Fast deployment for virtual machines""The management dashboards keep improving and allow for quick and easy tracing of issues.""Among the most valuable features are its granular replication, the ability to define asynchronous or synchronous replication, which gives us very definable RTOs and RPOs around that type of service, and granular quality-of-service configuration, which allows for cases where you've got multiple customers on a single Tintri, but you want to be able to offer strong quality-of-service metrics and KPIs.""We love the real-time replication, ease of use when connecting our servers to the storage, and the level of redundancy inside the box... It's also simple software and integrates well with VMware so we get a lot of information about all of the VMs, how they're performing individually, and about network latency. That's very helpful when you're troubleshooting a slowdown.""I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain""The data encryption feature adds a valuable security enhancement with no impact on performance.""We also find the detail per-vm reporting at the ability to see reports from the hypervisor straight back to the storage useful."

Cons
"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.""The solution does not support some cloud SaaS applications and has room for improvement with better integration to the storage array."

More Commvault Distributed Storage [EOL] Cons →

"On the software side, I suggest adding integration with backups software like CommVault Simpana or Veeam where these products can integrate with the array and trigger things like snapshots for backup, etc.""Speed of our VDI machines. We have a very high log in and log out ratio and machines are being refreshed instantly so we have a constant boot storm on our storage.""What I feel would be nice, in terms of a wishlist, is scalability. Rather than replacing the whole appliance, I would like to be able to just add another unit and scale it like that.""Their current replication is really just enough to "check the box" that they do replication. We'll probably implement Actifio, Zerto or EMC RecoverPoint for VMs for more critical data replication.""I would like it to have the ability to store data other than virtual machines. At the moment, you can only connect VMs to it, and that’s a bit disappointing.""The biggest area for improvement, and there has been some roadmap work in this area already, is cloud integration... Tintri has been investing in this area and I'm sure will continue to, but cloud integration has been the biggest area that we've been crossing our fingers and hoping for quick development around.""I think with the world soon becoming only SSD, possibly NVMe, and 3D Xpoint. It would make sense for Tintri to drop the hybrid array down the line.""We need more options to integrate with cloud storage options other than the current AWS and IBM that it currently supports."

    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.

    For over 10 years, Tintri has been unburdening IT teams of tedious, manual data management with the most advanced, AI-enabled solution on the market. With a commitment to ongoing R&D, Tintri delivers an infrastructure solution built for today’s future-ready, integrated operations from the ground up. We are redefining what data management and analytics look like for today’s dynamic workloads.
