Has improved performance for mission-critical workloads and enabled seamless non-disruptive upgrades

The availability is 99.99%, which is the main factor any customer would need because their data should be available whenever they want to access it. This is one main critical thing. It is very easy to upgrade since Pure Storage FlashArray handles it well. Everything is non-disruptive now; previously, there were forklift shifts, but now that is not the case. Pure Storage FlashArray says no to forklift upgrades. Usually hardware requires downtime, but Pure Storage FlashArray has improved their footprint so that they are not asking for downtime; everything is just a non-disruptive activity, which is why customers are more inclined towards Pure Storage FlashArray. Customers want more of the models in their environment due to the performance they are giving, and everything is in one Pure1 Array console where we can view all the models on one page or just an orchestration tool. You don't miss anything; you have replication, notifications about replication, and details about which host groups replication is happening in and if that replication is successful or failed. On a daily basis, our purpose is to create volumes for infrastructure; our daily activities include creating volumes and mapping them to the host, doing any migrations from a VM, clearing the data stores, and carving the volumes to those VMs. One key factor is the data compression with a ratio of 5:1, focusing on space efficiency, inline deduplication, and the compression Pure Storage FlashArray works on; that is a major factor we can suggest to any customer. Analytical capabilities are crucial. Daily, we check the throughput and consumption, and Pure Storage FlashArray provides predictions for one year regarding usage. This prediction helps plan updates well ahead. For support, we just raise a case, and they follow up and get it done. There is also AI readiness, but with the model R2, we don't have much of that AI readiness. For others, we do have AI readiness that predicts capacity based on daily or monthly trends, enabling us to analyze how much space we need or if we need to expand the disk shelf. From an operational point of view, a good feature is that if you accidentally delete a volume, it will be retained in the destroyed state for the next twenty-four hours, which is not the same with any other vendor. I have worked in this storage domain for the past fifteen years, and this option is remarkable, benefiting any L1 or L2 engineer. Additionally, from a compliance perspective, Pure Storage FlashArray has REST APIs enabled. I have not explored automation much, but from a security standpoint, it is strong with encryption data. If you want to automate, you can easily integrate with all clouds and explore Pure Cloud for scheduling workloads, including volume creation. Customers find benefit in Pure Storage FlashArray's single management pane of glass due to the dual controller and active-active setup. If one of the controllers goes down, all workloads automatically shift to the other controller, ensuring their data is safe and accessible at all times. This is a highlighted feature that any customer desires because their data should always be accessible. For SAN workloads, we use Pure Storage FlashArray because for SAN FC fiber channel, we don't use it; we use NetApp for NAS activities. We have clearly split this, so SAN is for mission-critical applications, while network-attached storage handles file systems. This architecture helps us maximize the benefit from Pure Storage FlashArray due to the significant workloads from this giant retail client. From a footprint and energy consumption perspective, you can see energy consumption from the Pure1 storage portal on a daily basis, and it is very compact. The three models we use consume only three units, which is quite low. From a footprint and data center perspective, it doesn't occupy much space. As everything moves to cloud, there are requirements to avoid excess spending on data centers, and Pure Storage FlashArray is efficient in energy consumption and is environmentally friendly.

User interface offers clarity and detailed information while technical support consistently delivers

The best features of Dell SC Series are stability and replication. The replication solution is excellent, and they have a solution named Live Migration. It is a robust platform. The interface and the GUI (graphical user interface) for administrating the Compellent are exceptional, with abundant information that is very clear. The management capabilities are excellent, and the stability of our storage hardware is remarkable.

Point-in-time restore capabilities are built into the storage appliance

Our first impression when we were introduced to the product was very good. I still think it's very good. They are truly different. The whole product is based on point-in-time restore capabilities built into their storage appliance, and no one else I know does that. I'd rate it a 10 out of 10 because it does everything that we have asked it to do.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The tool has reduced our power consumption."

"The reliability is very good."

"Their REST API is wonderful, well-documented, and easy to use."

"Provides fast access and is user-friendly."

"One could tell, the minute we switched to this program, everything ran a lot faster."

"The most valuable feature is its data reduction."

"It is the SAN backbone for our company."

"As we needed to grow in capacity, we were able to do so without increasing footprint by replacing smaller devices with larger ones."

More Everpure FlashArray pros

"There's some new stuff coming with 7.3, which just got released, where they're spreading the sparing across the whole array, rather than having a dedicated spare disk, and have it sit there and do nothing until one of them dies, and then it kicks in - and having to rebuild all of that. Now, they'll do the sparing across all the disks and they say that is going to add not only space but performance to the array, with 7.3."

"It's the storage backbone for our virtual environment."

"The process of reallocating data from fast disks (SSD or SAS) to slow disks (SATA) gives you better performance and better use of resources."

"I definitely recommend Compellent to my customers because it is a very good product that is very scalable, it is easy to use, and Dell offers a good warranty."

"The setup is straightforward."

"With auto-tiering, it's easier to understand than most arrays, knowing that all of your writes go to the tier that you specify, with easy-to-create storage profiles."

"Its feature set is superior to some of the other platforms."

"The setup and installation is much simpler now, because Dell has standardized the configure process."

More Dell SC Series pros

"From sales to support, the company has been extremely impressive, far exceeding our expectations."

"I was quite blown away in Irvine when I first saw the presentation from Reduxio, because it was everything that I was looking for, and they lived up to everything they said they could do."

"The performance increase is significant over our replaced storage, our servers respond lightning fast and the end user experience has greatly improved."

"We got performance, price, easy management and peace of mind."

"By using the BackDating option we can restore volumes based on time. It also reduces volumes and maintenance time."

"Honestly, when I first installed it I was skeptical but the technology and team won me over."

"There are just too many features that are too attractive to have any regrets over buying it."

"With only a few clicks, I can provision or modify storage."

More Reduxio [EOL] pros

Cons

"There are many features which need to be added, particularly on the replication side."

"I would like to migrate to the cloud in the future and know how that would actually work with this product."

"The price could be better."

"The negative aspect of Everpure FlashArray is that migrations can be somewhat complicated."

"I would like to see more cloud integration."

"The price of this solution could be improved."

"The scalability of the solution is not as good as it probably could be."

"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve the recent file storage capabilities because it is lacking a lot of features."

More Everpure FlashArray cons

"The initial setup is somewhat complex and should be made simpler to do."

"One option I would like to see is, when you're up on the view-screen, to be able to incorporate getting to what HPE call the iLO, the Integrated Lights-Out. To be able to get that instead of having to go back and trying to find IP addresses and re-institute those would be good. It would be good to be able to that put on the initial splash screen."

"Matching color coding during zoning is sometimes a little bit annoying."

"The cost of the solution could be better."

"Customer support could be improved. It takes five or six reps to finally get someone who can help us."

"Technical support should respond more quickly because the turnaround time is very high."

"I would like the ability to monitor and manage the storage. The web GUI is not fully there."

"The ease of use could be improved. It took me a while to learn it."

More Dell SC Series cons

"The only thing that I would point out would be the basic administration management of the machine. Everything has rights, meaning that there's either all control or no delegated control. So to sum that up, it would be a feature request for delegated management in the administrative console."

"There is only thing I can think of at the moment, that would be detailed printable reports."

"We had a single failure of the device but believe that it was tied to the server losing contact with our NTP server due to DNS issues. As Reduxio is very time-dependent, losing sync made the entire array unstable."

"Integration is needed with other virtual vendors like VMware, Veeam, Hyper-V; that integration needs to be deeper, not just the way that they're using it now. I know that it's under development, but I think this is one of the disadvantages, for now, as a young company. They have to work with the other players on the market."

"We had a brief hiccup, a brief outage, during one upgrade process, but it wasn't too extreme."

"I would love to see deeper integration with VMware vSphere/vCenter."

"I would love to see deeper integration with VMware vSphere/vCenter. Right now, I can edit existing Reduxio datastore sizes in the vSphere web client. Provisioning new datastores that way would be nice."

"It would be helpful to have a mobile app to monitor the storage array remotely."

More Reduxio [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price was more favorable than Dell EMC."

"It's a good price point and it's a solid product for the price."

"The pricing of Pure Storage is all-inclusive. It is very fair, and very easy. In comparison, Dell EMC has licensing that needs to be added if you wan to work in a complex environment or in specific functionalities."

"It is light years beyond anything else with the same price point."

"It is not the cheapest one out there. We're paying yearly, but I'm not 100% sure."

"The cost has room for improvement."

"The price of the Pure Storage Flash Array is too high and there needs to be more contact clarity. We went with the Evergreen plan and I don't have clarity on what am I supposed to pay each year or every three years. There was not much contract clarity."

"We have a seen a reduction in TCO. It is definitely a cost-effective solution for us. We have seen ROI."

More Everpure FlashArray pricing and cost advice

"Always keep in mind, this is not just a enclosure with disks is a complete SAN as a service. There is software, license, and storage in one single solution."

"The maintenance is usually pretty good. It's not like some of the others where they increase it in the fourth, fifth, or sixth years."

"Support typically depends on the array. It can range anywhere from $7,000 to a couple of hundred thousand dollars."

"Compared to other solutions out there, it's affordable."

"We have the basic license for the use of this solution and it is a permanent license. The overall cost could be less, it is expensive."

"We have found it to be affordable. Comparing the cost with other hardware, it seems to be right in line with the compute and the storage that we get with it."

"It is one of the most cost effective systems for us. We have been able to run it longer than most, getting the most benefit and money out of it."

"We were able to afford two tiers of flash storage at a price where the competition was giving us one tier or just a handful of discs."

More Dell SC Series pricing and cost advice

"Only one device is sold. Negotiate the initial storage, but you can start small and move up with ease. Negotiate."

"It was the best price for capacity and speed on a hybrid array I could find."

"They are very competitive in pricing, so I would definitely recommend Reduxio."

"I think that the only issue that I would like to see an improvement in would be the price."

"I think they're really worth what I get. It's not cheap, but I get all I need."

"The advantage of using HDDs to store (versus pure flash) makes the price point attractive versus other options."

"ROI is how much (time, money, resources) you will save in case of a ransomware attack because you had this box."

"I think that you are able to buy a minimum capacity, then grow your capacity within the box as you expand your data needs."
