Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The performance is better than with our previous version."

More NEC D3 series Pros →

"FAST (auto-tiering): Doesn't require configuration and is managed by the array itself.""Good performance for VM environments""The implementation of both block and file system storage in a single GUI provides is better situated than most other storages.""It is very stable, even during multiple power failures.""The replication feature provides another functionality to protect your data.""Multi-tiering, positively affects the efficiency of the storage space.""Integration with VMware""It is very stable even during multiple power failures."

More VNX [EOL] Pros →

Cons
"We are not satisfied with the cost of licensing and would like to have a better price to performance ratio."

More NEC D3 series Cons →

"Poor connection to FC.""The administrative console (Navisphere/Unisphere) needs some improvement, especially on their Java-based GUI. The updated version of Java is not compatible.""Intel Xeon processors with under 2 GHz processing speeds could be replaced with more recent ones.""The CLI could be better documented, like with VMAX.""There is an easy replication process between distinct data centers via VPLEX and/or RPA. But I hope in the future that EMC/Dell could replicate this with other types of storage.""If the VNX had embedded encryption, that would be great.""Based on our workloads, we see repeatedly in performance reports that the built-in controller (SP) cache of our VNX model is not sufficiently large, resulting in forced cache flushing.""EMC VNX needs to support bigger SSDs. Next generation EMC Unity will do this."
