Find out what your peers are saying about StarWind, Nutanix, Red Hat and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS)."Auto-tiering to obtain performance at a lower cost without the customer having to purchase ultra-fast storage is great."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its versatility, with there being support for all new hardware technologies and platforms, disc mirroring and very effective auto tiering."
"Our system is designed to be scalable and flexible, so it can grow and adapt to meet the changing needs of our clients."
"It allows data to be available from two DataCore servers."
"Oracle OLTP benchmark to test how it improves the performance while using flash drive NVMe."
"The use of the RAM cache allows you to speed up the writing and reading of data while also allowing for a possible increase in performance by increasing the RAM on the servers."
"DataCore has helped provide flexible, highly available, high-performance storage that otherwise would have been outside our price range."
"The ability to pool the storage to leverage thin-provisioning is a huge saving in space and costs."
"It's very stable and it's easy to use."
"StoreVirtual is that it is our software-defined solution and it's everywhere."
"Thin provisioning lets us get the most value from the hard drives."
"A very flexible solution."
"The seamlessness behind the scenes of block management."
"Data is stored in two different places, leveraging more security and availability. Therefore, network problems are having less affect on iSCSI."
"It appears to be very stable and very robust."
"A company can scale it easily."
"For customers or technicians who don't speak and understand English, it would be great to have other language support, all the more so given the number of countries in which SanSymphony is used."
"I would like to see reporting added, such as a monthly connectivity report."
"DataCore should integrate its own file server into SANsymphony."
"There is room for improvement in the graphical interface."
"Right now, the version used is run on Microsoft Windows Server. Having a Linux version or even an appliance would be better as it would eliminate the use of additional licensing for another piece of hardware."
"For customers or technicians that don't speak and understand English, it could be great to have other languages support, all the more so given the number of countries in which SanSymphony is used."
"The main problem is there is no DataCore OS."
"The solution could be better packaged and marketed."
"The management aspect of the solution needs to be improved in order to make the product stronger."
"The GUI is a bit old-fashioned. It should be updated."
"f you're doing the 10Gb adapters, SFPs don't come with it, but it doesn't say that. It might say that somewhere else, but it's not clear."
"User interface could be improved."
"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."
"One of the areas that need improvement is the consolidated management platform, to manage all of the nodes from one place and the licensing around that."
"The solution needs to ensure it is on par with the industry in terms of availability of features and various other options."
"Configuration of application integrated snapshots for VMware is convoluted and it did not work immediately."
