The product can be made into a multi-controller system instead of just being a tool that offers a two-controller system to users since it is one of the areas where the product lacks. From a controller perspective, the tool should offer scalability. The tool should also offer better manageability options, considering that users have multiple storages in their environment and need to control them with the help of a single pane of glass. The solution does provide users with the option to opt for a single console from where everything can be managed, but it is not available for free. The manageability area can be improved if a single console is made available to users for free.

The main issue is the management software, which requires a separate VM for full functionality. The default web GUI is less capable. Unlike Dell or HP where the web GUI is much more capable. The default web GUI in Apache VSP doesn't have all the functionalities, so that's the main disadvantage, perhaps the only one. In future releases, I would like to see enhancements in the web GUI capabilities for direct management without additional PCM. Secondly, the introduction of dynamic volume management, where volume level rate settings can be defined directly without pre-defining a RAID group.

I cannot give my opinion or suggestions on what needs improvement in the product since I need to better understand it. Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform needs to improve its scalability options where there are a few shortcomings.

The deployment for small and medium organizations is still possible. Their needs aren't as large as traditional market share, however, we'd like, in the future, for Hitachi to ensure that they can handle companies of all sizes. The adoption of the newest technologies must always be prioritized. New areas of technology must be adopted by the solution to keep it relevant. The storage can be improved. You need an operating system to run a computer. If they had a certain approach to layered storage, it would be better. For example, adaption to the browser, or having a centralized console.

Hitachi should offer a distinct overview of the various storage choices. For instance, the only difference between the e590 and the e790 is the core processor's capacity, which enhances the performance of the e790.

The embedded management for installation feature has neither simplified nor complicated the management process, therefore, there is room for improvement.

The most common issues we face are connected to replication and parts replacement, such as when there is a disk drive failure. Also, there is a drawback related to Hitachi's configuration flexibility. The Hitachi storage platform solution is not flexible. That means that both the Hitachi and the partner presale guys have to do a lot of work to design a solution. Once you design a solution, you can't reverse it. There is no flexibility afterward. If you are implementing a solution for a five-year plan, for example, you discuss what the customer will need in those five years. But after implementation the customer cannot then decide they need this or that changed. Customers have to decide things at the point of sale. Other solutions have better flexibility than Hitachi.

We've only faced some minor issues. For example, the documentation of some features isn't as detailed as we would like.

There is room for improvement in terms of the IP solution.

One improvement I am hoping for in the next release is unified storage. The other storage systems we use are unified, but E990 is not unified. Only block storage is available. To get the same functionality with the E990, you have to configure it through the NAS setup, which adds some additional costs. I would also like more capacity in a single box — expand the space up to 4 petabytes.
