Find out in this report how the two NAS solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."There are no significant challenges in terms of scalability, and it can accommodate larger storage capacities compared to other storage solutions."
"Hitachi's technical support is perfect."
"The most valuable feature of Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series is the platform and overall usage has been good. We have not had very many issues."
"We have many different types of replication, such as remote and drop local replication. All these features and licenses are already available. These are basic features available in the current model. Additionally, the performance has been good in our experience."
"It is robust. It doesn't need too much troubleshooting. It is a good device."
"Its scalability and performance are the most valuable. It is quite scalable and has a huge capacity."
"The first thing that attracted this model to us was the non-disruptive migration. We had a very large database application that was on older gear and needed to be migrated to these arrays. We had experience with virtualizing behind an array and moving applications and data but this made it even better."
"Overall, the solution is strong, easy and fast."
"It has many options for scalability, and it is stable."
"The storage capacity is really one of the most valuable features. Also, the GUI is very friendly and the switches gives high performance. The technology used in storage is RAID which as helped us a lot to expand and store various items ."
"The interface should be simplified and made easier to use."
"For the support windows to work, maybe they have to upgrade the firmware of the VSP. They changed the hardware or the disk. I don't know if it was the port blade they changed or a VM for a memory cache. Also, replacing the old target with the processor target would be fine. The old equipment is very easy to manage, and I don't have any bad commentary."
"The snapshot and clone operation functions can be made easier."
"We've only faced some minor issues. For example, the documentation of some features isn't as detailed as we would like."
"In the next version I would like to see additional features like artificial intelligence and an increase in the amount of data it can store."
"They should look at the cost because there are other vendors who offer the same cost with more features."
"I would like the fan noise to be automatically adjusted based on the drive's current workload."
"Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform needs to improve its scalability options where there are a few shortcomings."
"The handling of data deletion and bulk servers setup could have been more straightforward and easier when dealing with data removal or setting up servers. I believe Huawei could enhance their solutions, especially managing storage, to provide a better experience for customers."
"The call charges and the management cost should be more friendly. They can also include monitoring and management."
