I'm using Unity, Isilon, and Hitachi, particularly Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series, actually several different storage solutions and models. The models of Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series which I have include the G350, G370, G400, and the G600. Around one thousand people use Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series within my company. My advice to people looking into using Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series is to look into the product because it's a very good product. It's reliable, but you should also prepare the environment well for the hardware. You should have a good understanding of your needs and why you should go with Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series, and not compare Hitachi with other solutions that aren't comparable to the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series. You should listen well and understand what the Hitachi sales team is proposing and explaining to ensure that you're buying the product that you need. My rating for Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series is ten out of ten. My company is a partner of Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series though it doesn't sell the hardware to end customers. What my company does is buy the hardware from Hitachi, then it offers it as hardware as a service to the customers.
Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series is at its end of life, we do not sell them anymore. I rate Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series a nine out of ten.

My advice is that everybody has to do their own due diligence. The G Series is a good product but it isn't meet our requirements In summary, this is a very good product but there's always room for improvement. It certainly served our purposes at the time. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

This is a product that I don't think needs any improvement because I don't see any challenges. I definitely recommend this solution to others. The security of this solution depends on how it is installed. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

I can't say anything about the product itself that was in need of improvement. The areas where we had issues were more along the lines with support and HDS management. For anybody who is interested in this solution, I would say that from a product standpoint, it is fine. The only problem is the support. Anytime we needed support, it was delayed. I'm not sure of the reason for this, but it just seemed like it took a long time to get things resolved. At the time we did our RFP, HDS did not have an all-flash offering. They do now, but I haven't had the opportunity to look at their all-flash products. Hopefully, it is not just all-flash thrown into a G 1500 Series because you want to build flash from the ground up. What we found during our recent RFP was that the pricing is pretty close between all-flash and HDD, so while not everybody needs the performance, if you're getting it for the same price then why wouldn't you take advantage of it? I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
My advice to other people considering this solution is that it is a very good product. It has very good stability, it is easy to use, it has a 100% data security and availability guarantee. It is a very, very good solution manufactured by a good company. On a scale from one to ten, where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate these products as a ten because they do what we need them to without fail. For us they are perfect.
