Supports efficient storage management through volume snapshots and offers reliable non-disruptive upgrades

I have no specific improvements to suggest for Pure FlashArray X NVMe at this time. The performance statistics could be enhanced. I can see the performance statistics in the Pure Storage console, but it does not show the performance by 4K byte unit. It displays IOPS and bandwidth, but IOPS is about real use, and I want to know how many IOPS are currently running in 4K byte units. I cannot see that IOPS because most storage systems report their performance by 4K byte unit. I want to see Pure Storage performance by 4K byte unit to compare with other storage or other internal NVMe SSD.

Good price-performance ratio, provides simplified provisioning and management

We use this solution for provisioning and management The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption. The exterior display needs to be improved. Sorry, I like the blue lights the competition has, but maybe we can see green led lights…

Vm-aware storage has simplified vmware management and delivers strong deduplication and savings

There are many good features for Tintri VMstore T7000, especially its nature of understanding VMware. It is VM-aware storage, which is a very good characteristic. When any VM is moved from one host to another host, there is no way to see where it is running. It is very smooth in action. Trintri VMstore T7000 is totally autonomous. We have integrated it with our virtualization environment, so all the VMs and machines running in our environment move between one Tintri VMstore T7000 and another without requiring any manual intervention. The system can schedule resources from its own capabilities. If one Tintri VMstore T7000 becomes full, the machine will be moved to another automatically. This autonomous system is very beneficial. Nowadays, all storage comes with NVMe flash and all storage is coming with flash storages as well. Tintri VMstore T7000 is much easier to handle. We just need to integrate the whole Tintri VMstore T7000 with vCenter and all the work will be done by vCenter. If we want to check what the deduplication will be, there is a really good feature of Tintri VMstore T7000 called TGC. We can integrate all Tintri VMstore T7000 systems from one end and manage all of them from a single endpoint. The major benefit of using Tintri VMstore T7000 is its deduplication and compression ratio, which is around 4x to 5x. No other storage is giving that much ratio. This is really good and much cost-saving for the company. Administrative cost is reduced because Tintri VMstore T7000 gives us a single point where we can manage it. This is both time-saving and cost-saving.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The duplication algorithm allows us to get a lot more use out of less storage. We're running a five terabyte array right now and we're running probably about 30 terabytes on it. So the duplication rate is pretty phenomenal, without a cost to performance. It still runs pretty smoothly."

"On a scale of one to ten, I rate Pure FlashArray as ten."

"The database workloads are pretty fast because I frequently move data from here to there."

"The most valuable features of Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its superior performance compared to other flash tiers, as well as its ease of use, with an intuitive user interface that is simple to deploy and use."

"The tool's valuable features are speed, security, data compression, and reliability. Its data compression feature is the best that we have ever seen. It helps us to save money and resources."

"The solution uses newer technology for deduplication and compression."

"It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."

"The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."

More Everpure FlashArray X NVMe pros

"This solution had the best cost and it was easy to work with the Vendor."

"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."

"Customer Service: A+ excellent! Love my Tintri guys."

"Tintri has the best solution in the storage world."

"Ease of setup and simplicity to use."

"The Deduplication feature in VDI environments. If Tintri says we can host 3000 VMs in our storage, I know we can host 3000 VMs there. Believe the results."

"Its speed has been absolutely fantastic."

"I would rate Tintri VMstore a ten out of ten."

"It has easy setup, easy administration, and no LUNs!"

"I've worked on both EMC and NetApp SANs, and this is by far the easiest system to maintain"

More Tintri VMstore T7000 pros

Cons

"The software layer has to improve."

"They could add more support for file storage and different types of storage."

"We need better data deduplication."

"It's more multi-tenant functionality in their Pure1 manage portal that is lacking."

"One area that I haven't been sold on yet is the POD replication."

"We have run into a couple of instances recently where we are running out of space. So we have had to buy some more packs for it and they have deployed fine and it has increased smoothly."

"In the future, I would like to see integration with enterprise backup systems."

"I want to see Pure Storage not only be for fast storage, but I want to see it be for the entire data center."

More Everpure FlashArray X NVMe cons

"The exterior display needs to be improved."

"I would like to be able to add more storage capacity to our 2 units down the road without buying an additional separate array."

"Integration with Commvault for native storage snapshots"

"It lacks deduplication, and dedupe on all data is something that would be a big improvement that we need."

"More cloud integration."

"The solution was challenging."

"I'm waiting to see the Kubernetes package. I know they're releasing one, but I haven't seen it yet."

"It needs current RHEV-M support (v2.5) which is slated for 2016."

"For now we don't have scalability issues, but It would be nice to add an external bay for additional storage space."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Given its price, Pure is not the first option."

"With Pure Storage, we would like to continue seeing price reductions with flash storage. I don't think we're any different than anybody else when we continue to look to the industry for price reductions of both NVMe and traditional SSD storage. We would like to see these prices continue to decline and erode, even displacing large spinning disks."

"The product is expensive."

"Its price could be better. It is not too expensive, but it is the high-end cost. It is kind of a Rolls-Royce. You pay a lot, but you get a lot out of it. So, the price pressure on the way down would be great, but at the end of the day, if you need to do the work, you just pay for it."

"The licensing is on a yearly basis."

"They can tout the functionality and cutting edge technology that they have, but that's where the price tag comes in. The cost is high, but I think as they grow their business and get more customers that it will probably go down a little bit."

"The tool's pricing is cheap; I rate it a six to seven out of ten. Most of our sales are not subscription-based. We sell the hardware, and customers keep using it. They only renew the service part annually. The support can be a bit pricey, but the solution is more cost-effective than anything else out there."

"Pure FlashArray X NVMe’s pricing is cheaper than other products."

More Everpure FlashArray X NVMe pricing and cost advice

"This solution has a good price-performance ratio."

"An "all-in-one" license model would be better at this price range."

"Tintri arrays are cheaper then other vendors while still providing an excellent level of performance."

"With any SAN purchase, the sizing procedure is the most important step."

"We haven't found Tintri's pricing to be a barrier to entry for any of our customers. Tintri works through a number of distributors and when we've had to purchase it for our customers we have found the pricing to be competitive."

"The cost of all the SW is well spent because it makes you save on backup and DR."

"Prices are not cheap, but it runs."

"I've always gotten excellent pricing. I'm very satisfied with the pricing that I receive."

"What I have heard, price-wise, is that Tinti was definitely very competitive. That's one of the reasons it was chosen for us."
