We performed a comparison between Dell EqualLogic PS series and Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Modular SAN (Storage Area Network) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."If you have one datacenter fail, the VMs will start to run inside the other data center."
"Dell EqualLogic PS series is a highly stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Dell EqualLogic PS series auto tiering by using this feature, the customer can get higher performance on a valuable budget."
"We were attracted by the flexibility of being able to put in a new shelf whenever we needed to, to expand."
"The product is very stable."
"It is stable and scalable."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution can scale."
"The setup is very easy to manage and configure. The initial setup and takes one hour more or less."
"The deduplication is useful for us because we don't have that much money for our lab infrastructure. Deduplication means we have more storage available. And the IOPS are really fast."
"Its resilience is the most valuable."
"The valuable features for data management include deduplication and compression without performance impact, and the ability to virtualize old storage, making migration seamless."
"There are no significant challenges in terms of scalability, and it can accommodate larger storage capacities compared to other storage solutions."
"The high performance of flash storage is especially valuable to us."
"Overall, the solution is strong, easy and fast."
"The Hitachi VSP has significantly improved data storage scalability by addressing various issues. Through their research and development efforts, they've incorporated customer feedback regarding deployment speed and performance requirements."
"There is no option for mixing RAID types in one device."
"The searchable online documentation is missing."
"If I need to have more space or more capacity, I need to replace the product. It would be ideal if we could scale without replacing the box itself."
"Synchronous replication uses space inefficiently."
"Why is it not possible for both controllers to be simultaneously active (load balancing)?"
"The replication efficiency needs to be improved."
"We need more space and we can't get any."
"The performance isn't as good as, for example, Nimble."
"Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform needs to improve its scalability options where there are a few shortcomings."
"Its usability can be improved. It can have more management features. Its management tools lack features."
"The deployment could be a bit easier, because it's a bit tricky"
"One improvement I am hoping for in the next release is unified storage."
"One problem is that there are too many management tools for the F Series and for all the other Hitachi storage systems. There are four or five such solutions. Maybe these could be combined in the future."
"The solution is stable. However, there have been some software crashes where we had to restart the system. They could improve the hardware to prevent this type of issue."
"The pricing is high, but the product is good. Additional features like data duplication might make it even better."
"The controllers in the product do not provide options for scalability."
