We performed a comparison between HPE StoreVirtual and Red Hat Ceph Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Defined Storage (SDS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."All of the administrative tasks are easy and everything is centralized."
"It appears to be very stable and very robust."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't had any issues with glitches or bugs."
"It's very stable and it's easy to use."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is that it is hardware independent."
"The initial setup is straightforward, not a complex procedure."
"It allows compute and storage to operate separately, and has the ability to take SAN nodes out of production for maintenance with little effort and zero downtime."
"The solution is very stable."
"Ceph’s ability to adapt to varying types of commodity hardware affords us substantial flexibility and future-proofing."
"High reliability with commodity hardware."
"What I found most valuable from Red Hat Ceph Storage is integration because if you are talking about a solution that consists purely of Red Hat products, this is where integration benefits come in. In particular, Red Hat Ceph Storage becomes a single solution for managing the entire environment in terms of the container or the infrastructure, or the worker nodes because it all comes from a single plug."
"Data redundancy is a key feature, since it can survive failures (disks/servers). We didn’t lose our data or have a service interruption during server/disk failures."
"We are using Ceph internal inexpensive disk and data redundancy without spending extra money on external storage."
"Without any extra costs, I was able to provide a redundant environment."
"I like the distributed and self-healing nature of the product."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"Configuration of application integrated snapshots for VMware is convoluted and it did not work immediately."
"User interface could be improved."
"Hardware and disk failures are happening frequently."
"The penalty for the availability is performance. So, you have to balance or choose between the availability and the performance."
"It is a costly solution."
"The management aspect of the solution needs to be improved in order to make the product stronger."
"it would nice to have deduplication or compression, things that you have in some of the higher end products."
"Product looks like it is in the end of development."
"I have encountered issues with stability when replication factor was not 3, which is the default and recommended value. Go below 3 and problems will arise."
"Ceph does not deal very well with, or takes a long time to recover from, certain kinds of network failures and individual storage node failures."
"It takes some time to re-balance the storage in case of server failure."
"Routing around slow hardware."
"It would be nice to have a notification feature whenever an important action is completed."
"Some documentation is very hard to find."
"Please create a failback solution for OpenStack replication and maybe QoS to allow guaranteed IOPS."
"I would like to see better performance and stability when Ceph is in recovery."
