Dell Storage Resource Manager Reviews

There is block-based storage, and we have different pools in the storage. The flash SSD hard access used for the databases is the correctional-related data. We use a dedicated pool for the Oracle database, which is mounted with unique servers. We have another pool called sales drive, and we take data and retention policies. There are 15 hosts and an additional remote host too. All the servers are mounted with this storage.

It is easy to control the storage. The most valuable features are the supervision of storage, managing the users, hosting and revisioning, controlling, display manager, driver-related update and patch-related updates.

We use this solution for multiple storage platforms all over the world that need to be able to move data and manage it across them. You have a singular view across all of your storage platforms of what is being used, what is available, and then being able to manage and manipulate those resources as long as it has the capability to manage them.

It's a valuable teacher. It's all about ease of use and reliability.

When you get to this class of platforms, it all boils down to a couple of similar things. One of those things is about how easy it is to use, then how reliable it is, and then the overall supportability of it.

Our company has eight administrators who use the solution's WEMS partitions to store backups. Sometimes, we use the partitions for query language servers. 

The partitions function well for backup storage. 

We are a solution provider and this is one of the products that we deploy, integrate, and give support to our clients on. It is used for disk management, provisioning, data progression, and snapshot management.

This product is easy to deploy and easy to use.

It has many features and capabilities such as local protection and global protection.

It is very suitable for users in a troubleshooting aspect.

The most valuable features of either of the SRM tools, were the reporting and real-time ability to show management that additional storage was required or in regards to who was using what storage and bandwidth.

All the attributes of the tool had real importance, when you needed time to create some reports for the management and to email those reports on a regular basis.

By the time they rolled out its predecessor SMC and Unisphere, the old ECC was trying to do too much within a large enterprise environment.

We were unhappy as no one from EMC heard our plea for assistance and it became expensive in terms of the license and the amount of resources it took.

Simply put, in the past the vendor support model was not broad enough to ensure every aspect of the ECC product worked efficiently.

After a few years of waiting for EMC to apply the fixes we wanted they were finally all addressed.

Managing multiple storage arrays under one console was a valuable feature of this product.

It made life easy by allowing us to manage multiple storage arrays under one console.

• Centralized administration
• Management of SAN environment in the organization

• Ease of administration
• Fits in well with all the EMC SAN storage

The alerting feature is valuable because it completes the gap of storage monitoring. Often the storage comes with a tele-diagnostic service. For security purposes, it’s very important for us to be aware of every single failure in order to be more proactive and not only reactive.

We use the SNMP gateway to aggregate hardware and performance events.
