The most useful feature of SANsymphony is that it's able to manage any brand of block storage.

The solution's most valuable feature is its versatility, with there being support for all new hardware technologies and platforms, disc mirroring and very effective auto tiering.

SANsymphony is flexible, with many potential options for implementation. SANsymphony's can be used with VMware, Hyper-V, or even with a hypervisor agnostic approach. It can also be used for strictly physical non-virtualized solutions.

I'd have to say that the biggest improvement gained by using SANsymphony has to be the performance of the product.

The most valuable feature for us is that we can adjust the size of the storage very easily, without stopping production.

The features I have found most valuable are the active-active, or so-called grid technology, and the integration into our VMware-vCenter.

The ability to pool the storage to leverage thin-provisioning is a huge saving in space and costs.

During the maintenance periods, on any part of the storage or VMware migration, we have had no downtime.

We use this solution for providing software-defined storage that is virtualized, in a true HA configuration. It provides SAN storage services to VMware vCenter hosts and VMware Horizon hosts, as well as some physical Windows and Linux servers. This platform allows us to leverage any storage that Windows can leverage, including other vendor SAN devices. This allows us to keep existing storage, mirror SANs from 2 different vendors and even allow very easy migration from one vendor to another. Most of our locations just use RAID attached storage (as it is the least expensive) with enterprise-class drives (both HDD and SSD).

I work with many customers that ask us to put their solution near the production because they can't stop the production. It's easier to protect the network this way.

It's a software storage solution that can scale as we like. There is also has a parallel feature that enhances the performance of the storage solution. We can separate storage and computing, and we can scale these two parts of the platform to meet business needs efficiently.
