Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, IBM, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Modular SAN (Storage Area Network)."The technical support is very good."
"It is stable and scalable."
"Its high availability. It has a lot of redundancy and good management software as well as good alerting."
"It is extremely reliable."
"We were attracted by the flexibility of being able to put in a new shelf whenever we needed to, to expand."
"The solution can scale."
"You can always trust it. It is stable."
"The technical support for EqualLogic has been universally outstanding."
"I like its storage capacity, quick access to the data, speed, and overall storage management."
"There is no option for mixing RAID types in one device."
"There is no inline deduplication capability."
"6510 and 6610 have two iSCSI connections in each controller. Why do 6110xxx members have only one, and why do the same members have the possibility of having an active iSCSI interface in the passive controller? It could make a lot of noise with a failover."
"It is at the end of support and no longer supported. We have to move our VMware to another storage platform, and we have decided to use Dell PowerStore. We like Dell's products, and it is a new platform with a lot of features."
"Why is it not possible for both controllers to be simultaneously active (load balancing)?"
"Synchronous replication uses space inefficiently."
"I can't buy any more solutions provided by EqualLogic...Since I can't buy it anymore, I don't receive any updates on the solution. Also, this is the last year in which one can buy support for the solution."
"Dell EqualLogic PS series could improve the performance because in our hybrid configuration the read speed is faster than the write speed."
"The main thing Oracle can improve is the cost. It would be better if Oracle opened up the system to enable integration with other vendors. Whether it's the database, application server, or storage appliance, they should make it easy to integrate them. They need to open up more to ensure that it can work in any environment and IT ecosystem."
