"HPE 3PAR StoreServ has limited flexibility in building replication solutions. There are limitations to the number of IOPS the system can do. It's not bad as it is doing its job. However, for the application, if you need a toolbox, you can build everything concerning periodic replication modes of synchronous or asynchronous three-site, four-site, with supported cascading which requires you to buy an IBM product. It also takes a few hours to one day to upgrade the system and sometimes; it takes more time because, in some HPE 3PAR StoreServ 20000 Storage, you have an eight-node system. If you do an upgrade, you do it node by node and every node might take more than an hour."

"The solution could improve by being able to handle larger data."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ could have better integration into the cloud and converged infrastructure."

"The price of this solution should be lower."
"HPE could improve by making an old flash system in order to compete with the current market. For the solution to be more competitive in the mid-range market they could increase the performance."
"The product is quite expensive."
"The solution requires hardware."
"This product is getting a little bit older, so new features like deduplication are not included."
"The solution could improve by adding configuration tools."
