Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The best feature is consistently lower latency, even when IOPS crank up to over 75K. The product maintains submillisecond response time, which is incredible."
"It allows engineers to focus on other things rather than doing the more manual tasks. It automates tasks, so the ease of use is extreme. It simplifies the storage."
"The tool has reduced our power consumption."
"All updates, upgrades, and hardware work are all performed on-line with no impact."
"It is an easy to use product for all of my team members."
"The sales and executive support have been outstanding compared to the rest of the market... My upgrade paths have been simple on the Pure... It's a lot simpler to implement and a lot simpler to manage."
"We're getting good performance, and the compression ratio is also very good in Pure Storage FlashArray."
"The stability is very good. I've done destructive testing on it and never had any type of storage outages from it."
"There are plenty of features available in this solution."
"The platform's most valuable features are reliability, intelligence, and fast performance speed."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the overall simplicity."
"I've been satisfied with the level of attention I'm given when I reach out to technical support."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The primary factors that make Huawei OceanStor Dorado Series highly valuable to us are its competitive pricing, exceptional performance, and stability."
"The most valuable features of the solution are SmartMigration, HyperReplication, HyperSnap, HyperCopy, HyperClone, SmartPartition, and SmartCache."
"This is a stable product that we can use for DR in production."
"This is an all-flash storage array. It is the best solution for large batch processing. There are some customer databases that have tens of millions of records in one large database. That's where VIOLIN performs the best. VIOLIN stands out for million of IOPS with ultra-low latency. VIOLIN can provide about two million IOPS in a 3U unit. We have a latency of less than one millisecond."
"The system has dual controllers but does not have a high level of resiliency built-in."
"There was some complexity in the initial setup."
"Having something native in the Pure Storage ecosystem would make it integrated and in one single company, and we wouldn't have to work with multiple organizations."
"It is way in excess of what we need. If anything, we could see a bit more speed. I'm just comparing it with what some of my colleagues who are implementing their own systems do."
"The price could be better."
"It's not so scalable. It's got moderate scaling capabilities right now. The clustering technology needs a bit of work, they need to improve that."
"Going forward, don't complicate things for the customers."
"In terms of the future, I have been excited by some of the copy data management stuff that they're talking about building into the environment. There are feature sets where I've done a lot of automation work. So, I am always looking forward to extensions of their API. They're also talking about a phone home centralized analytics database being used as a centralized management console with a list of new cloud features, but this doesn't seem finalized."
"The localization problem needs to be improved."
"It should have easy connectivity with the AIX, however, I've found that with AIX, it has some issues and due to this, we need to remove the exact fiber card sometimes and then plug it in again so that it can connect with the AIX systems."
"Huawei OceanStor Dorado could improve the integration, there have been some compatibility issues with some operating system functions."
"There could be local support services available for the platform. Additionally, they should provide a bundled license, including all protection and encryption rules."
"This solution does not support VMware VVols 2.0."
"Difficult integration with third parties."
"The solution needs to improve its integration."
"I would really like to see Heterogeneous Storage Virtualization in a future release."
"Its overall usability can be improved. It takes some time to know small things here and there to make sure it is working properly."
