We performed a comparison between Huawei OceanStor and Pavilion HyperParallel Flash Array based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Has also helped simplify storage for us. The other person we put in there, took about a week to implement. And we had both arrays set up within around four hours with a thirty minute drive time between the two locations."
"The amount of data that I have moved to it from legacy storage has enabled us to retire units that are three or four times the physical size."
"It's just very easy for general block storage."
"It has good stability for our company."
"I like FlashArray's ActiveCluster as well as its snapshot and cloning capabilities."
"It is fast and reliable. It works."
"We have seen savings in our storage. The speed of deployment has gone from several days to a few minutes. This product has reduced that time into minutes, simplifying storage for us."
"The most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray are management and administration user-friendliness, provisioning, and performance."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in the rail, as it is hybrid storage."
"Its technical support team is helpful."
"Great value for money."
"Huawei OceanStor provides numerous features that are tailored to cater to the requirements of all types of companies."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei OceanStor is the hybrid applications."
"It is a highly available product."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the availability."
"The high performance is very valuable, as well as the enterprise reliability features."
"There's lots of flexibility in how we use the resources while also maintaining a small footprint."
"We have been able to consolidate storage into Pavilion. Pavilions are our only SANs because it is a bring your own disk solution. When new drives come out, we are able to take out half of the drives in the system, put in new drives, move our VMs over to the new drives, take the other drives out, and populate those with new drives. Then, we are suddenly twice as dense as we were before. NVMe flash is only going to get denser and cheaper so we can make use of that every couple of years by just throwing newer disks into it at a fraction of the cost of a new SAN."
"Most of our upgrades have not been as smooth as they should have been."
"From a scalability perspective, it is a very small storage solution, so it's not very expandable."
"Just some nit picky stuff, like allowing servers and volumes to be grouped. Therefore, it would easier to work with them in the GUI."
"Pricing could be better in comparison to other solutions."
"Pure Storage FlashArray could improve in the area of cryptographic information in the consoles. The user-friendliness could improve. The Pure Storage FlashArray team should come and log into the system with their maintenance credentials and then pull out the information as evidence of cryptography."
"As long as they always improve on IOPS speed, that's all we're really looking for. The faster the storage can be the more we can do speed of application and speed of use."
"It was a little costly. The price was ultimately higher than both of the other solutions that we evaluated. I'd say that's the only downside."
"We would like to see more cloud support, which we know is coming, although it's not out yet. It's going to be released in the next versions. That would be the biggest win, if additional cloud support is built into the array."
"Huawei is not that cheap."
"The speed has room for improvement."
"The technical support has been a let down for us. It's something the company has to work on. We haven't been satisfied with their level of service."
"The main concern is regarding the usability of the data storage."
"The tool's performance is slow for DBs. We plan to move from Huawei OceanStor to Pure Storage. Its customer service is not good."
"Integration with mainstream solution technologies could be better."
"Its data replication features work slowly for nodes."
"I would like to see the next generation all-flash, which could be combined."
"In our current configuration, we can only run the line controllers in high availability, active-standby mode, whereas we would like to see active-active implemented."
"The rail system that Pavilion uses to mount up into a standard Dell or APC cabinet extends further back than normal rails, and they cover up the zero PDU slot. So, I don't like the rail system that comes with the device. That is my biggest complaint."
"I would like to see the management layer improved."
