Charu Mazumdar - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Architect at DXC Technology
A robust product that offers great flexibility
The initial setup process was neither easy nor difficult, as it is somewhere in the middle, but at times, it is difficult to make certain decisions. The availability of the product is high. The deployment model of the product is chosen depending on the requirements of the customers, but our company does sea consultancy to figure out what the advantages and disadvantages of both deployment models are. The discussions mostly led my company to opt for a hybrid cloud deployment model. It doesn't take more than two days to complete if the installation is only for a couple of systems, or else if there are multiple ways to decide, then the installation part depends on the rate type.

Reliable platform that integrates well with different IT infrastructures and systems
The product integrates well with different IT infrastructures and systems in the telecom sector. Our partners manage services, including detailed integration and migration-related operations. The platform upholds the uptime and reliability of our business applications. We classify our systems into different tiers, ranging from machine-critical to business-critical, and FusionStorage helps us run all the services. It delivers a remarkable uptime of 99.9%. With our expectations for continuous service availability, we are operating 24/7. In cases where system interruptions occur, it enables rapid restoration, ensuring a prompt return to normal service levels. I rate it an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is incredibly stable; it's one of the great advantages of the product, and we've never faced any problems when it comes to stability."
"Consolidation and duplications features."
"It's a great solution that is very secure, and very easy to configure."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to restore lost machines. Essentially its high availability capabilities are extremely valuable to us."
"We used to use Dell blades and we didn't have Virtual Connect, so configuring the networks and all of that for our servers took a lot longer."
"The tool's most valuable features are stability and scalability."
"One of the valuable components in this solution is HPE Synergy, which is a useful tool for deployments and updates."
"We use the solution for DDI."
"It is a stable solution."
"In cases where system interruptions occur, it enables rapid restoration, ensuring a prompt return to normal service levels."
"The product has a very simple GUI-based management platform and it is very simple to use. There is a very easy step-by-step configuration procedure that guides you through, and you can configure it very easily."
"Provides easy access to our data."
"This is a good solution and we haven't had any issues with it."
"Huawei FusionStorage does well in its basic functions and offers broad utility."
"The solution’s most valuable feature is its performance."
 

Cons

"The tool has shortcomings in its performance monitoring part."
"Something that we think should be better in the HANA converged solutions is all of the monitoring of the solutions."
"It was a very rough ride. The people they sent, I don't think they had experience in doing these kinds of implementations before."
"Currently, we have problems with the HPE StoreOnce module in regards to the backup operations."
"I would like to see better manageability and integration with third-party tools."
"Technical support hasn't seemed to be that simple or that easy."
"This is an expensive solution."
"There is some scope for improvement in support. The response time could be better."
"The solution’s support could be improved."
"The problem with Huawei is that it generally oversells. As a principle, Huawei does not educate the partner or the end user enough to scale up their solution correctly."
"Their cloud services could be improved."
"I'd like to see better product maturity including their branding on the cloud environment. Their cloud services are not up to that of AWS, Azure or Oracle cloud platforms."
"The only thing I really know about the initial setup is that currently the installation is not that straightforward."
"The initial setup and installation is not that straightforward. It should be made easier and the time to install should be reduced."
"I hope for improvements in the product's processing ability and performance."
"The product needs improvement in terms of affordability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is good. We have not calculated what hyper-converged infrastructure has brought us but I think there has to be some lower cost for us, compared to the public cloud. Obviously, there would be a lower cost, probably by more than half."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly."
"I rate the product price an eight and a half on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"There are some extra costs in addition to the licensing costs for the yearly maintenance from professional third-party services."
"The pricing is competitive. Not a major problem. We have a subscription model."
"My company has a five year contract for HPE ConvergedSystem. The contracts depend on companies and sometimes it can be three years. The solution is worth its price."
"This is an expensive solution."
"This is an expensive system and not every customer has the kind of budget to support it."
"It is expensive but might be optimal based on the partnership."
"If one is a cheap solution and ten means it is a very expensive product, I would rate the price as two or three."
