Dell PowerScale (Isilon) Reviews

Dell PowerScale (Isilon) is mostly used for CCTV and unstructured data storage.

The solution provides massive performance, scalability, efficiency, and ease of management.

Dell PowerScale (Isilon) is a bit expensive compared to other products.

I have been using Dell PowerScale (Isilon) for three to five years.

We have tried hybrid and all-flash nodes for both models. We can expand any of the nodes because there is lots of additional storage. We can also add accelerator nodes for increased performance.

I rate the solution a seven out of ten for scalability.

The solution provides excellent enterprise support. There is a small delay with the L3 connection, which I hope will be resolved soon.

We have seen a return on investment with the hybrid model. However, we haven't seen a return on investment with the all-flash model because it is a bit more expensive than other products. It takes three to five years to see a return on investment with the solution.

I usually recommend this product for enterprise companies that require massive capacity. It is not for small and medium-sized businesses. The solution provides faster backup. I would recommend the solution to other users. We use Dell PowerScale (Isilon) for long-term data retention. Dell is doing an excellent job of raising product awareness among partners and customers through advertisements.

Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.
