We performed a comparison between Huawei OceanStor V3 Storage System and VMAX [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Hitachi Vantara, IBM, Dell Technologies and others in Frame-Based Disk Arrays."Huawei has a lot of penetration into accounts in Islamabad and the whole region, especially in Islamabad, because this is where our capital is, this is where most of the government offices are."
"The most valuable features are the interface and performance."
"VMAX3 is our main system for storage. All our systems and all our virtualizations are connected to it. In terms of expanding it, we are replacing it with a new system, the PowerMax 2000. So our current VMAX3 platform will be decommissioned soon. We are switching to PowerMax 2000 because we are looking for improved performance. We see it as the best fit for our requirements in terms of the performance and the overall cost."
"It works with our replication technology, which is not SRDF, which is native replication technology."
"I like the many new features, especially the all-flash solution."
"We have never had a bad experience with it because we never had failures. It has good data availability and the performance is also okay."
"This solution is resilient."
"A rock solid foundation to deploy applications which cannot incur a disruption of service."
"The interface is good, and it is also customizable."
"It is an expensive product. They should lower the price."
"Better speed to release new features that have become industry standards. EMC created so many standards in the past. Now, it seems they are playing a me-too game and lagging behind in some areas, specifically data reduction."
"The cluster support should be improved."
"I would like to see support for high-availability."
"The pricing is a bit expensive. That is the reason we are now currently we are looking for other solutions. That's the reason we are looking at AFF and Unity. We are also considering PowerStore."
"The way you configure larger size volumes needs improvement."
"Resilience replication, reporting, and performance need to be improved."
"I'd like to see improvements where we can scale out an existing array and remove older controllers\drives\etc., within the same subsystem."
"I would like this solution to integrate the solution that EMC vPlex offers."
