We performed a comparison between HPE StoreVirtual and Red Hat Ceph Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about StarWind, Nutanix, Red Hat and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS)."StoreVirtual is that it is our software-defined solution and it's everywhere."
"All of the administrative tasks are easy and everything is centralized."
"It's very stable and it's easy to use."
"Thin provisioning lets us get the most value from the hard drives."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't had any issues with glitches or bugs."
"he interface and the installation makes it easy as it's all in one piece of hardware and it doesn't need to be connected to anything else."
"The initial setup is straightforward, not a complex procedure."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is that it is hardware independent."
"Ceph has simplified my storage integration. I no longer need two or three storage systems, as Ceph can support all my storage needs. I no longer need OpenStack Swift for REST object storage access, I no longer need NFS or GlusterFS for filesystem sharing, and most importantly, I no longer need LVM or DRBD for my virtual machines in OpenStack."
"High reliability with commodity hardware."
"We have some legacy servers that can be associated with this structure. With Ceph, we can rearrange these machines and reuse our investment."
"Without any extra costs, I was able to provide a redundant environment."
"Replicated and erasure coded pools have allowed for multiple copies to be kept, easy scale-out of additional nodes, and easy replacement of failed hard drives. The solution continues working even when there are errors."
"radosgw and librados provide a simple integration with clone, snapshots, and other functions that aid in data integrity."
"The configuration of the solution and the user interface are both quite good."
"It's a very performance-intensive, brilliant storage system, and I always recommend it to customers based on its benefits, performance, and scalability."
"It would be nice if there were more parts available in Brazil and HPE could swap out faulty equipment quicker."
"The solution needs to ensure it is on par with the industry in terms of availability of features and various other options."
"Configuration of application integrated snapshots for VMware is convoluted and it did not work immediately."
"The initial setup could be simplified to make it easier for new users."
"Product looks like it is in the end of development."
"The penalty for the availability is performance. So, you have to balance or choose between the availability and the performance."
"it would nice to have deduplication or compression, things that you have in some of the higher end products."
"It is a costly solution."
"What could be improved in Red Hat Ceph Storage is its user interface or GUI."
"Some documentation is very hard to find."
"The storage capacity of the solution can be improved."
"I would like to see better performance and stability when Ceph is in recovery."
"This product uses a lot of CPU and network bandwidth. It needs some deduplication features and to use delta for rebalancing."
"Rebalancing and recovery are a bit slow."
"We have encountered slight integration issues."
"I have encountered issues with stability when replication factor was not 3, which is the default and recommended value. Go below 3 and problems will arise."
