In my organization, there were no problems or challenges that we wanted to address through the implementation of Dell PowerStore. I don't know how much money my organization saved after moving from Dell EMC XtremIO to Dell PowerStore, but I know that we have received some discounts from Dell. I don't know what the prices were when my company chose Dell EMC XtremIO or Dell PowerStore. My organization doesn't use CloudIQ to manage and analyze Dell PowerStore. I don't know how my organization assesses Dell PowerStore for its overall energy consumption. I don't know what kind of power it uses for anything. I know that Dell PowerStore is a bit, if not much, better when it comes to areas like significant data consolidation and footprint reduction when compared to Dell EMC XtremIO. Dell EMC XtremIO was also a very good product for areas like significant data consolidation and footprint reduction. It is a good product, considering my assessment of Dell Technologies' environmental, social, and governance values. My organization maintains good contacts with Dell, and Dell also supports us by providing good governance. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

My organization does not use CloudIQ to manage and analyze Dell PowerStore. My organization does not get involved in any power management or monitoring to assess Dell PowerStore's overall energy consumption. I have seen a significant data consolidation and footprint reduction with the use of Dell PowerStore since we need to use way less storage in our organization, which is around a 50 to 60 percent reduction if we consider it from a TB perspective due to its deduplication technology. Within our organization, the area revolving around the assessment of Dell Technologies for its values around environment, social, and governance is a hot topic. Our organization has used Dell for a lot of years, and it is great to see that Dell has become innovative in terms of recyclability and reduction of carbon footprint, because of which we don't need to change to another supplier or vendor to help us attain our green goals. Dell PowerStore is a good product since we don't face any more problems with it in our company. Dell's support team's contracts with our company are very good. I hope the product fulfills its duty in a couple of years, after which our organization can replace it with another next-gen product. I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

The challenges my company wanted to address through the implementation of the product stemmed from the fact that our previous storage array was full and had reached the end-of-life phase, because of which we needed a tool for lifecycle management purposes, after which we found Dell PowerStore to be a logical choice for us. Previously, my company dealt with a couple of systems from HP, while we also had a lot of Dell systems, so we decided to stick with one vendor, Dell. My organization uses CloudIQ to manage and analyze Dell PowerStore since we get the option to use standby, so when we get calls after work hours, we don't have to use our laptops since we can just log in via our cell phones and check the status of the storage arrays, which saves a lot of time. With Dell PowerStore, my company saves a couple of hours a year, though it may not be a lot. I don't know how I would access Dell PowerStore for its overall energy consumption. I have seen that the product has an enormous capacity when it comes to significant data consolidation and footprint reduction with the use of Dell PowerStore, especially when compared to our company's old system, which comes up to around 70 percent. It is tough to assess Dell Technologies for its values around environment, social, and governance. Though the aforementioned values are important for my company and storage admin, even if we don't look at that side of our company, I wouldn't personally mind it. The product has helped our organization in the area of sustainability. The direct space provided by the product can be considered under the sustainability part of the product since, in our organization, we would need less room and fewer cooling modules, which helps. For two years in a row, my company has not even seen a failed disk with the use of Dell PowerStore, making it a great product. I rate the overall solution a nine out of ten.

I would rate Dell PowerStore ten out of ten. Prior to my joining the organization, they used Hitachi and transitioned to Dell due to cost considerations. We haven't implemented the latest code yet, but we attended a session at the beginning of the day where they mentioned that backups can now be moved directly to the data domain from the power store. This is an interesting development, as it opens up new possibilities for backup management. For instance, we could now consider placing backup clients on a machine that is specifically designed for this purpose. Dell PowerStore is doing what it's supposed to do, and it's even doing it better than we were expecting.

I recommend this solution, especially if you're not moving everything to the cloud and require reliable local storage. It proves to be an excellent choice. I rate Dell PowerStore a nine out of ten.

I would not recommend Dell PowerStore to those who plan to use it. As the price of the product is high and it is difficult to contact the support, I rate the overall tool a seven out of ten.

Overall, Dell PowerStore is a good platform, but it's not the best, in my opinion, due to the support issues and stability concerns. Additionally, the shift from a storage controller to Dell servers as the controller is not ideal for a storage operating environment. Ultimately, it's a Dell Server working on the software for PowerStore. Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.

I advise others to prefer more disks for the solution than standard ones. Also, wait to install updates after release. Overall, it is a great product. I rate it as a ten.

I'm an end-user. I'm an administrator of Dell PowerStore. We are using the latest version of the solution. I've been very satisfied with the product. The solution is easy to manage and implement. It's worth the money you pay for it. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

I like this solution, it has everything you need for enterprise-grade storage. It supports all the protocols. It is much more reliable and efficient than the normal HPD. I rate this solution seven out of 10.

We're using the latest version of the solution. We're an end-user and provider. I'd recommend the solution for small to medium-scale products. I would rate it seven out of ten. There's not good support here in India, which is an issue.

I would recommend this solution for middle-range customers. Overall, I would rate this solution a nine, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

We're partners. The solution is acceptable for both small and large companies. I'd advise new users to be mindful during the implementation process and make sure it is done right. They need to choose the correct solution and implement either block or unified. It's a good idea to look at the documentation before setting everything up. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

We are service providers. The solution is on-premises at our company and we manage it for the customer remotely via a private cloud. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

I love this product and hope to work more on it. I rate it 10 out of 10.

If anyone wants to implement Dell PowerStore, I would advise that they seek help from an expert rather than deploying it by themselves. I rate the scalability of Dell PowerStore a nine out of ten.

When compared to the technology that has been evaluated earlier or has just come onto the market earlier, it provides a good value for the money. Since the price is significantly lower and performance features have improved. That being said, I would recommend this. I would rate Dell PowerStore a seven out of ten.

I rate Dell PowerStore a ten out of ten.

I rate this solution an eight out of ten. The solution is good, but a synchronizing feature could be included to improve the solution.

It is a very good tool for networking, storage, and working with the rack server. I would recommend this solution to other people. They should just take it. I would rate it as an eight out of 10.

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten. It's a really good product. I'd advise potential new users to definitely have a demo or do a hands-on lab to try it out. Also, definitely make sure you buy supported switches.

We have a private cloud within our two new North American global data centers. We've looked at connectivity to both AWS and Azure, however, we really don't have any storage replication heading there at this point. I'd rate the product nine out of ten. With the new features that'll be out in a few months, it just continues to get better. I like this solution. This was just built more from the ground up with new features in mind. In particular, some of the capabilities that are coming out in the near future are really going to set it in a class above what the others have to offer.

My advice would be don't hesitate. It's a good frame. It's doing what it is designed for. It serves IOPS very well. The data savings are very important and the response time is very short. There are always tricky situations that come up, but honestly, since our PowerStore went live, I don't have to worry about the storage for this environment. The VMware guys are independent. They don't need me anymore. We accepted the risk, due to the fact that it was a relatively new platform, when we went with PowerStore. We were totally aware of that fact. That is why we put the first one into our development area, and not production. Even if we have more than 100 developers working on it, any problems would affect developers, not production. We understood there could be costs because having 100 developers not doing anything during a day costs money. But PowerStore didn't disappoint us. We are very happy with it. We now have four in production. We are a Dell partner, so we also resell PowerStore to our end-users. When we initially built this frame, we wanted, say, 100 terabytes, but they persuaded us to only buy 40 terabytes of SSD or NVMe drives because of the savings that they said we would see from the data reduction efficiency. The program they gave us was that if we didn't achieve that kind of data efficiency, they would provide us some disks for free.

I'll rate Dell EMC PowerStore 10 out of 10. I haven't had any issues with it since we've installed it. PowerStore is easy to adapt, and it's straightforward to use. You cannot even make a mistake on anything because it's going to make sure you confirm everything before you go to the next step. I haven't seen anything that needs to be improved yet. If I compare it with what we were using before, this one is genius.

This solution enables us to add compute and capacity independently, although we have not had to change our configuration. PowerStore uses machine learning and automation for optimizing resources but we are just starting with it, so I don't know much about these features. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

The performance of PowerStore is good, but I don't feel the software is completely ready. We have upgraded the system and have had failures on the system. I have never seen as many head crashes on other systems as we have had on the PowerStore in the last year. The system is fast but not stable enough. I would not buy the system again. You should wait some years until the software is ready and doesn't have a new software release every two months.

I would recommend this solution to others. I rate Dell EMC PowerStore a nine out of ten.

At the moment, I am satisfied by the simplicity and ease of use of the PowerStore.

The solution enables you to add compute and capacity independently, although in our environment we cannot add compute. We are able to add storage and that works, although we have not done so because we have only been working with PowerStore for three months and haven't needed any extra capacity yet. Only three people work with PowerStore in our company, and they are all system administrators. I'm happy with the choice we made. I can recommend PowerStore because the technical architecture is based on NVMe. They have a good USP. There are other vendors who also have NVME-only systems, but I still recommend PowerStore.

We weren't concerned that PowerStore is a relatively new platform. We were not inserting it in an enterprise environment. We were inserting it in a scientific computing environment, which is where we tend to install all the latest technologies. It was not a problem. If you have a production VMware environment, the platform is no longer new and is probably the most flexible performance storage system that you can buy today. We are not using the solution's load balancing at the moment but it's something that we are looking into. We use PowerStore's built-in VMware hypervisor to run VMs and virtualized applications, but we are not using it at the edge. We know that is one of the capabilities of this kind of solution, but we are using it in our central computing facility. We experienced some small issues, but the virtual machine was new. But our choice was a good one. The machine is easy to use, the performance is there, and we are happy.
