"It's reduced our overhead management time on storage, since it is so simple to get in and just provision a volume, present it to the host, and then you are done."
"It has made working with storage as easy and simple as it should be."
"The most valuable feature is that maintenance is free."
"The mobile app is very helpful."
"For us, the most valuable feature is the compression and deduplication. Being able to deploy a three to one ratio for storage is absolutely critical in today's world with the growing need for storage and the growing need for more space."
"Data deduplication features make it easier to manage storage and forecast growth."
"This solution is very scalable."
"Processes that used to take 40 minutes to two hours can be completed in five minutes."
"The most valuable features for me are the simple management of the platform and its performance."
"It is easy to manage and performs very well."
"We have additional space in the enclosures for additional disks, so we can scale up without any downtime."
"We use a virtual domain in 3PAR and we can create individual pools where clients are able to manage their own resources, instead of we, as storage admin, getting involved in that."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ has been stable."
"We can quickly see performance per CPG and per LUN. You can drill right down to see actual performance to the virtual volumes themselves. That's really good."
"The speed is very good."
"It's actually shaking hands with the workflow solutions much better than any other storage."
"Automation could be simplified."
"The credentials on the iSCSI interface are only available to type in with the Chrome browser, and not with the Firefox browser."
"Beyond a certain amount of petabytes, you have to have a separate system. Basically, it's not infinitely scalable."
"They have a product, FlashBlade, which is their object storage integration, and that's something that we haven't integrated with yet. This might be an area for additional focus as it would play into scalability, because the very nature of object storage is that it's infinitely scalable."
"The file functionality could be better."
"It was not proactive communication."
"The 3PAR SSD arrays that we have are still failing a lot so even though we're under warranty, we still have to get someone out and usually have someone troubleshoot so that usually adds onto the cost. With Pure, we've had a disc fail and we pop it out and you pop it in and it's good to go."
"I would rate this solution an eight. There's always room for improvement, nobody is perfect to get a ten out of ten. They do what they do well. It's not cheap but we it's for uses that we needed."
"It's still an older architecture, you've got a lot of physical spinning disks. I would imagine more the memory-based computing is coming."
"The tool is old."
"From an overall perspective, all the latest technologies can improve support and performance. This is very important for us."
"As long as they can keep the solution stable, it will be good. Stability is very important to us."
"I would like to see more cloud-based integrations and more file storage capabilities."
"A lot of tasks, you have to manually set up. They need to already have them set up and working. Then, you can just go in and tweak them if you need to."
"The new feature sets, like deduplication and compression, are complex to work with. I hope when I view the roadmap that they will be less complex."
"This solution is becoming dated."
"It has to be flexible according to the customer's requirements. It has to be aligned with the customer business and the business environment."
