Find out what your peers are saying about StarWind, Nutanix, Red Hat and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS)."It has the ability to seamlessly move hardware in and out as we refresh technology."
"The most valuable features are the simplicity of use, the flexibility, and the options included. I mean, it's just a big time saver."
"We are happy with the support that IBM provides us."
"The SVC gives excellent performance with tiered storage behind it."
"I like all the features, but the most impressive recently has been the introduction of IBM's Flash Core Modules. They are a form of a flash drive, but they have many more features."
"The most valuable feature is its reliability."
"We can failover easily, because a lot of our data is replicated from family to the second replication."
"The abstraction flair and the abstraction layer. We had a mixture of different storage arrays, and the wonderful thing about SVC is is that it normalizes all it into a single driver. A single view that all hosts see simultaneously."
"The single-pane-of-glass VMware interface makes configuration and management easy so you do not need IT specialists."
"I already discussed possible improvements with some of the guys from Hearnsley. One of our frustrations is when you go to expand volumes in a global mirror environment, you have to stop everything in order to expand. So that's one of the things."
"Level 1 technical support needs improvement."
"The disk reliability is not that good."
"t is limited in terms of a single system to eight nodes or four, what they call IO groups."
"GUI should be developed in HTML5 as opposed to Java."
"They are actually working on one bug we found, which was with flash restore. This was the user interface design for virtual environments."
"There are things that occur when you get to this size and capacity. We're very large, i.e., petabytes. When you get to that sheer volume of the numbers of things, it is too big for people to keep track of."
"In general, the migration is complicated. Though, it is case-by-case."
"A new company took over the product and now the support for Maxta has gone way downhill."
