Featured Reviews

Technical Lead at Wipro Limited

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.

Storage solutions accommodate diverse drives and offers good resiliency

Technical support is good. I can log complaints online through the portal and have engineers in line. I can also take dedicated engineers if needed, although this involves a different support cost. As far as my requirements are concerned, it is working fine. There are two or three types of support. Standard support involves logging a complaint and receiving a call from the OEM on the same day, but hardware replacement takes two to three days. Advanced support offers instant replacement without delays. Hardware support terms include calling or emailing the company or logging the call in the portal to receive remote support, or getting a dedicated engineer or account manager from Dell.

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

"Their support system has insight into errors on our SAN fabric that we can't see. They've brought attention to and raised awareness for us about things that we couldn't see, when we were experiencing problems."

"Support has been helpful."

"There is no comparison performance-wise."

"It's very fast and very easy to use. It performs well and is both flexible and compatible. We like it because it's easy to use."

"The initial setup was really straight forward."

"We find the ease of usability and setup valuable."

"We only have storage provisioning, so the provisioning feature is good. The compression and deduplication are good."

"The stability is very good. I've done destructive testing on it and never had any type of storage outages from it."

More Everpure FlashArray pros

"When it comes to mid-range storage solutions, it's usually our preferred solution, from all-flash all the way up to hybrid solutions too."

"The most valuable feature is the customer support."

"The performance was staggering and it was more than what we paid for."

"The support is good."

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

"Its leading feature is the price-performance ratio, which is very good."

"It helps us streamline deployment of VMs."

"In terms of stability, it's good enough. It's okay."

More Dell SC Series pros

"The TimeOS support and I/O performance. For instance, recovery of data from any point in time, and the speed of the unit, are incredible compared to other devices we reviewed."

"After all the evaluations of other alternatives, we chose Reduxio."

"We deployed a new project and application and I didn't even have to call my boss and ask for a new budget for new disks and new storage."

"Reduxio has definitely created a different category with their technology."

"In terms of deployment and also data storage, the deduplication ability of it has reduced that footprint."

"We have seen a large increase in the performance of our ERP and reporting environment, as reports which were taking minutes to run are running in seconds now."

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

"My first impression of Reduxio was, "Hey, this is the first solution that I have ever encountered that can truly ensure business continuity," and my impression has not yet changed."

More Reduxio [EOL] pros

Cons

"I would like to see the NAS add-on component become more fault-tolerant than just a single virtual machine running inside the array. I'm unwilling to use it for that reason."

"Awareness about Pure Storage needs to increase. Currently, people mostly think of Dell and NetApp when it comes to storage."

"I would rate this solution an eight. To make it a ten it would have to be a little cheaper."

"One thing I'd like to see in a future release is integration between their main storage array and what they call their FlashBlade product; to be able to snapshot directly from the primary array into multiple different backup copies on FlashBlade."

"The only thing I think could be improved is price. The price is the main concern for our customers."

"They are doing some stuff with containers and an object search. These could be improved, because containers is one of the main topics that we are talking with our customers about."

"I can't see where they can make anything better, unless, of course, they lower their prices even more."

"FlashArray could improve on the administrative side. For example, when you need to upgrade the boxes, we can't do that ourselves. We need to open a ticket with support and have them do that for us. You don't need to be on the call with them. We tell them we have a slot that we want to upgrade, and they send us an email when it's done."

More Everpure FlashArray cons

"Overall, I'd like to see more synergy between Dell EMC's higher-tier platforms and their mid-tier platforms."

"Compared to other solutions, Compellent comes in the form of a component that's not true of a unified storage platform, for instance, to block a level of support can only be done through two different platforms."

"I think it would be nice if the connection were better integrated with the network so I could get a broader view of both the network and the system."

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

"Dell could improve the upgrading process. It was the lifecycle that made it very short."

"It's definitely affordable. Of course, it would be better if they made it cheaper, even more affordable."

"In some customer cases, customers experienced more performance or latency."

"In terms of additional features, I would like to see some kind of I/O meter, to indicate what we are using in terms of performance. I would like to see automation with that, where it would give me the trends. I want to know those things easily, to help me know where issues are going to occur."

More Dell SC Series cons

"The latest release limits web access to the admin console via Chrome only, and that's a bit of a hassle. Would definitely prefer something less restrictive there."

"I am waiting for the vSphere Plug-In with individual VM level control."

"I would love an iPhone app to monitor my system from outside the firewall."

"They're trying to do this, but they need to show more what their growth plan is, the development, what the next steps are, the future."

"Needs some hooks into cloud storage for backup. Also they should update the system to use additional secondary storage as a resource."

"The only thing that I would point out would be the basic administration management of the machine."

"Maybe it should come in stainless steel, just like its DeLorean time machine predecessor."

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

More Reduxio [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is moderate. It is neither cheap nor expensive."

"Pure Storage FlashArray's pricing is very competitive."

"The solution is expensive."

"We feel that the pricing is fair and the licensing process was easy for both."

"We have seen a reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO)."

"The cost was initially high, but once more people were using it, the costs came down. This was because the University was reselling it to other departments."

"Our Evergreen Storage subscription is supposed to be good when we go to upgrade."

"The cost has room for improvement."

More Everpure FlashArray pricing and cost advice

"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."

"We have reviewed many platforms over the years. It is probably the best solution for its value."

"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."

"Pricing depends on varying life cycles."

"It's absolutely affordable. Again, not having to do a forklift upgrade like some of the others have had to do in the past, it's very affordable for our customers and they continue to buy."

"The pricing of this solution is competitive."

"The SC Series was priced fairly. I wouldn't call it either expensive or cheap because we had a very tight budget, so if they were able to fit in that type of budget, they met our expectations."

"This solution could be better priced in comparison with other vendors."

More Dell SC Series pricing and cost advice

"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."

"One of the key selling points of the Reduxio was that it really is fully licensed for the unit. There are no additional licenses needed for the product, which really helps scalability. There were no additional options to purchase, per se. They were already wrapped into the product."

"The compression and dedupe are very effective on Reduxio, so it may be worth asking about licensing partial capacity on a unit, if the full capacity seems overkill for your environment."

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

"The pricing and licensing were favorable."

"For less money than my previous solution, I receive way more performance and backup features that far surpass anything on the market."
