Helps to save money and resources with the data compression feature

One point I'd like to improve is that the tool should start selling small boxes again. It discontinued some products and is focusing on bigger, more capable boxes, neglecting the SMB market. Even though it's not a big market, it shouldn't have removed them. One way to improve the product is to add an operational assistant that doesn't depend on VMware. It could also establish more alliances with other operational systems.

Offers ransomware protection for files stored on servers

Data processing is the most important feature. We are using Huawei OceanStor Dorado, which employs SSD storage on the hardware side. No reported performance issues or improvements are required for our systems because all of the systems run on memory on the host side. The Oracle data and Oracle virtual machines also operate from memory. Additionally, we use Oracle for patching systems, with all data residing in memory. There is some latency during backup times, typically at night, but this is acceptable for us. These latencies occur outside of office hours, so they do not impact our operations during normal times when there is no noticeable latency.

Has a fantastic feature-set and works well with workflow solutions

I would suggest, if you heavily depend on the Oracle solution from the database you should consider Oracle All-Flash because, from my understanding, it is from a single OEM, it's a single solution. It would be a homogeneous environment. I think it would be definitely a better option for customers considering other all-flash storages. It would be better if you consider a solution from Oracle, from the database studio, the storage part. I would rate it an eight out of ten. To make it a perfect ten, in the next release, I would like for it to be NVMe compliant storage.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The latency is good."

"Pure Storage has signature security technology, which cannot be deleted, even if you are an administrator."

"It has benefited my organization because it has reduced time to insights."

"The high availability of the product is the most valuable feature."

"Pure FlashArray X NVMe has low latency and high Ops. It is an evergreen model."

"The duplication algorithm allows us to get a lot more use out of less storage. We're running a five terabyte array right now and we're running probably about 30 terabytes on it. So the duplication rate is pretty phenomenal, without a cost to performance. It still runs pretty smoothly."

"The system allows for seamless learning experiences, facilitating quick and easy cloning of environments within minutes."

"Technical support has been helpful and responsive."

More Pure FlashArray X NVMe pros

"I've been satisfied with the level of attention I'm given when I reach out to technical support."

"The primary factors that make Huawei OceanStor Dorado Series highly valuable to us are its competitive pricing, exceptional performance, and stability."

"The platform's most valuable features are reliability, intelligence, and fast performance speed."

"Huawei OceanStor Dorado is fast and has significantly improved data storage efficiency."

"Huawei OceanStor Dorado is equipped with powerful controllers"

"Huawei has more features than other vendors. It integrates well with security management solutions, though not directly with databases."

"The most valuable feature for me is that it deduces better, whereby it can be assigned six times the usable capacity, depending on the nature of the data."

"The product has the best compression and encryption features. The most valuable features I have found in the tool are its performance and cost-effectiveness. While Huawei OceanStor Dorado may not always be chosen for its features compared to other brands like Dell, HPE, etc., it is often selected due to its affordability. Customers opt for Huawei OceanStor Dorado primarily because it offers similar performance features as other brands at a lower cost."

More Huawei OceanStor Dorado pros

"It's actually shaking hands with the workflow solutions much better than any other storage."

Cons

"The UI for this solution needs to be improved."

"The tool's portfolio is minimal. It is expensive."

"The tool's pricing is higher than competitors."

"There is room for improvement in the pricing of the product."

"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."

"There is room for improvement in catering to midrange storage needs, especially for customers seeking Enterprise-class features."

"Maybe the price can be reduced since the solution is very expensive."

"Every time I think of something that needs to improve, they're one step ahead, which I love. The only area I wish to see improve, I believe is coming, is in the FlashBlade product. Blade implementation fell short on a few of the services."

More Pure FlashArray X NVMe cons

"The data compression and deduplication ratio of Huawei OceanStor Dorado is not as good as other solutions, such as EMC and Pure Storage. It is important when looking at capacity effectiveness."

"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve by having a multi-tier cloud option and additional protocols"

"Having distinct modules for data compression and encryption features enhances flexibility and performance optimization for users with varying requirements."

"I would really like to see Heterogeneous Storage Virtualization in a future release."

"There could be local support services available for the platform. Additionally, they should provide a bundled license, including all protection and encryption rules."

"They should add a feature to the platform to help us manage storage communication with one of the vendors."

"One of the key areas that need enhancement pertains to the software procurement process."

"The product should be better aligned with the virtual environments"

More Huawei OceanStor Dorado cons

"It has to be flexible according to the customer's requirements. It has to be aligned with the customer business and the business environment."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Given its price, Pure is not the first option."

"Pure FlashArray X NVMe’s pricing is cheaper than other products."

"We pay approximately $50,000 USD per year in licensing fees."

"Our licensing fees are $500,000+ USD."

"With VMware, we pay $300,000 annually."

"The support cost per array is about $20,000 a year for 24/7 support."

"With Pure Storage, we would like to continue seeing price reductions with flash storage. I don't think we're any different than anybody else when we continue to look to the industry for price reductions of both NVMe and traditional SSD storage. We would like to see these prices continue to decline and erode, even displacing large spinning disks."

"The product is expensive."

More Pure FlashArray X NVMe pricing and cost advice

"There are lots of features included with this solution and some of them require additional licensing, such as creating high availability storage using a cluster."

"In price comparisons with alternative products, it stands out as a more cost-effective option."

"This product is not too expensive, and the price is competitive on the market."

"We saw ROI in terms of both money and time saved. It is worth the price."
