Cons
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages.""The response time for read requests can be improved."

More INFINIDAT InfiniBox Cons →

"The inclusion of more protocols and interfaces would make it easier to integrate with other products.""SolidFire could improve in terms of hardware robustness.""The technical support is really bad and has to be improved.""We have a large fiber channel infrastructure, and that's one area that we haven't seen implemented in SolidFire, its more iSCSI.""The tool should improve its initial cost which is expensive compared to other products.""They could do a file-based NAS: SolidFire NAS-based. It's probably not its niche, but that is our direction, not to use block, and it's block. Solid state block is what it is.""There is room for improvement with a focus on creating a centralized storage system, functioning similar to AWS.""I would like to see integration with the cloud, number one. Being able to spin SolidFire in the cloud."
