"The high performance is very valuable, as well as the enterprise reliability features."
"We have been able to consolidate storage into Pavilion. Pavilions are our only SANs because it is a bring your own disk solution. When new drives come out, we are able to take out half of the drives in the system, put in new drives, move our VMs over to the new drives, take the other drives out, and populate those with new drives. Then, we are suddenly twice as dense as we were before. NVMe flash is only going to get denser and cheaper so we can make use of that every couple of years by just throwing newer disks into it at a fraction of the cost of a new SAN."
"There's lots of flexibility in how we use the resources while also maintaining a small footprint."
"The technical support is very good."
"If there is a problem then the HPE facility will detect it and immediately contact me."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ is easy to use and has good performance."
"We're hosting virtual infrastructure on the 3PAR storage and it's been very good for that."
"This is a very robust product and it offers everything that we are looking for."
"The solution is easy to use and very stable."
"Remote-copy provides high availability and disaster recovery for the connected clients."
"Their support is the most valuable. The support that we are getting from HP Turkey is very good. This product is better than some of the other products in terms of reliability. It is very reliable."
"The solution offers very good reliable systems and storage for our clients."
"The price of this solution is good."
"Ability to cluster two storages together with HA availability."
"In our current configuration, we can only run the line controllers in high availability, active-standby mode, whereas we would like to see active-active implemented."
"I would like to see the management layer improved."
"The rail system that Pavilion uses to mount up into a standard Dell or APC cabinet extends further back than normal rails, and they cover up the zero PDU slot. So, I don't like the rail system that comes with the device. That is my biggest complaint."
"The speed of the hard disk could be better. The performance is the main issue for us. The performance of the VMs is not comparable to desktop machines, for instance, and we might need another solution to improve the performance. Other than that, we don't have any issues. We already have a great part of storage with SSDs, and the performance is not as good as I expected."
"We do see room for improvement, especially in regard to expanding the defined storage areas."
"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."
"As long as they can keep the solution stable, it will be good. Stability is very important to us."
"The solution could improve by being able to handle larger data."
"From an overall perspective, all the latest technologies can improve support and performance. This is very important for us."
"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."
"There are issues formulating the upgraded disk."
"Many people do not realize that Lenovo has a storage solution, so better marketing from the vendor is needed."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The licensing model needs to be revisited. It needs to be simplified."
