Find out in this report how the two All-Flash Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
If you wait more than seven years to buy another one, you get a return on your investment.
If we request the price for StoreOnce as a standalone product, it tends to be higher than when it is included in a larger solution where we can receive better discounts.
Customers always have their issues resolved promptly.
Technical support is good at least through vendors, not directly with the principal.
HPE's support is very good, proactive, and monitored through InfoSight.
When we open a case for support during installation or other matters, they are always timely and provide full support.
Huawei took longer to respond and send a new device when something critical happened.
It is highly scalable.
It hasn't broken down anytime in the last six to seven years, despite hurricanes, earthquakes, and power outages.
The ability of HPE StoreOnce to scale is strong when more sizing options are available.
The scalability of HPE StoreOnce is very good.
Huawei OceanStor is capable of scaling up to a few megabytes and is equipped to handle varied network protocols.
I would rate the stability of the product at seven out of ten.
For the stability of HPE StoreOnce, based on customer feedback, I rate it highly as one of the most stable products in the backup and archiving line.
Huawei OceanStor is stable and reliable for storage solutions.
Other than the data store running out of space, I haven't had any issues with the technology.
We would appreciate a built-in transparent failover in the next release to eliminate the need for a separate metro cluster.
One way to improve the product is to add an operational assistant that doesn't depend on VMware.
I would like to see some AI features that would allow arrays to intelligently identify threats or unusual behavior in the data pattern and give an alert.
It is well-positioned on the radar, with a mature and stable solution.
The benefits of StoreOnce, which we discussed, include its compression capabilities with a ratio of 1 to 10.
While the solution does everything expected, it would be beneficial if AI could be integrated for optimization and monitoring.
Huawei currently lacks a solution for high-performance AI, unlike other companies like DDN, WekaIO, or IBM BlueStore.
The stated capacity was not a true reflection of the actual capacity.
While the prices may be higher than those of other vendors, we see it as a market leader with benefits.
The support can be a bit pricey, but the solution is more cost-effective than anything else out there.
I would rate the solution as an eight out of ten in terms of costliness.
The solution is quite expensive, possibly rated around seven and a half on a scale of one to ten.
Huawei is priced competitively, encouraging companies to consider it over other products.
Huawei OceanStor's pricing is very aggressive, making it highly competitive.
Its data compression feature is the best that we have ever seen.
The standout features for us in Pure FlashArray X NVMe are its robust DDoS protection, seamless transparent failover, and failback capabilities ensuring high availability.
Pure FlashArray X NVMe helps to improve our processing speed.
If the actual size for backup data is 100 terabytes, using StoreOnce, it will be around less than 10% of the original size due to the 1 to 10 deduplication ratio.
The most effective features for data deduplication are maximizing storage capacity and minimizing expenditure.
The recovery is important.
Huawei OceanStor offers good IOPS and is reliable and energy-efficient.
The main selling point of Huawei OceanStor is its ability to handle all storage protocols, including block, file, and object.
