Cloud storage has simplified SAN and NAS management and now optimizes costs and provisioning
The best features of Everpure Cloud include a consumption-based model, where there is no need for on-premises storage space. I only pay for the size I use, and there are continuous moderation sessions, so hardware upgrades and software enhancements are not required. All of these are managed in the back end, suggesting necessary updates. The consumption-based model benefits my team and organization by allowing us to easily buy the required space and sizes for cloud-based storage. I do not need to add any nodes or controllers to the array side, which helps us reduce costs. Additionally, with this moderation session approach, I might use a storage array for three to five years before needing to buy something else, which I can avoid with cloud storage. The main advantage of the features is that I can buy and pay for whatever model I choose, making budgeting easy and cost-efficient. Everpure Cloud positively impacts my organization by enabling me to provision LUNs and manage everything from the cloud side conveniently. If any hardware issues arise, I need to contact the data center team; however, having everything on a single platform allows me to resolve issues easily and minimizes downtime.

Centralized capacity planning has improved insight into storage consumption for long term growth
Implementing IBM Spectrum Control is complex; we have had several calls to IBM to solve problems about DVM stack size, max memory size, and other issues such as buffer and cloud buffer size. Currently it is working, though we still have swap issues on our Linux Spectrum Protect server.We experience swap issues when we run a big retention set, and we have noticed that on the server we have memory available, but it seems that IBM Spectrum Control is using swap because the DBM max memory size is two gigabytes. This causes IBM Spectrum Control to use swap size instead of using memory, which is an issue we have opened a call to IBM about.We hope to ask why we have no report on the clone because on our storage we have an internal clone, but it is not reported. We will see with the support why it is not reported.

Pros

"Everpure Cloud positively impacts my organization by enabling me to provision LUNs and manage everything from the cloud side conveniently, and having everything on a single platform allows me to resolve issues easily and minimizes downtime."
"Everpure Cloud is cost-effective, and in our comparisons with the Dell PowerMax solution we were able to negotiate better commercial terms while achieving performance that is similar and close to the same performance we get on PowerMax."
"Technical support is quite responsive and helpful."
"I would recommend the product, because as a cloud-based tool, you do not have to do any maintenance; everything, including updates, is done, you just log in and it is there, it is easy to configure, as it took me five minutes to set up, and you get a lot of value as far as the data and the performance information."
"The granularity of this solution has been most useful, as customers can click on a single item and get the information only for the single item they choose."
"The benefits would be mostly the ability to diagnose a problem."
"We compared other vendors also, but Spectrum Control's price is lower than most."
"In my opinion, it's the best monitoring and report creation tool for IBM storage devices. You can do a lot of performance stats and reports with very nice tools for IBM storage devices."
"It has turned out to be just as good, if not better, than what we were paying thousands of dollars for."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use. The ability to get into a storage device and look at whatever you are trying to look at as far as performance, then obtain the reports that you need to do your analytical work."
 

Cons

"I would like to see improved unified storage capabilities. Although they call it unified storage, Everpure Cloud is lagging behind for file workloads."
"The solution must support multi-vendor storage."
"The initial setup for IBM Spectrum Control is a bit complicated. They should also make it easier to integrate and use the Cosmos Analytics tool, which is very complicated."
"Spectrum Control could be more user-friendly. IBM also needs to provide proper training to handle Spectrum Control because it's a complicated solution."
"Implementing IBM Spectrum Control is complex; we have had several calls to IBM to solve problems about DVM stack size, max memory size, and other issues such as buffer and cloud buffer size."
"The database could be improved so that the complexity of installation could be easier. We would also like to have more granularity in the profiles and products for users. We would like to link the users to the tool to managers or auditors."
"The pain points were, and may still continue to be, the fact that there are multiple components of the product which are installed, you might say, somewhat individually."
"It's very complicated and difficult for me, and it's easier with all these installations on one server."
"If we were to add VM level performance being able to monitor VMs on a VM level, then that would be good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is pay for the amount of storage that you are monitoring. The more that we use the tool and like the tool, we may want to extend it to other storage platforms. This is just a matter of cost."
"We were already licensing Spectrum Control. This was one reasons why we went to Control rather than using the other product."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
