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."A very flexible solution."
"HPE StoreVirtual is very easy to use from the management console."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't had any issues with glitches or bugs."
"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 seamlessness behind the scenes of block management."
"A company can scale it easily."
"All of the administrative tasks are easy and everything is centralized."
"StoreVirtual is that it is our software-defined solution and it's everywhere."
"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."
"Without any extra costs, I was able to provide a redundant environment."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"The community support is very good."
"Red Hat Ceph Storage is a reliable solution, it works well."
"The configuration of the solution and the user interface are both quite good."
"radosgw and librados provide a simple integration with clone, snapshots, and other functions that aid in data integrity."
"We have not encountered any stability issues for the product."
"The management aspect of the solution needs to be improved in order to make the product stronger."
"Product looks like it is in the end of development."
"It is a costly solution."
"Hardware and disk failures are happening frequently."
"One of the areas that need improvement is the consolidated management platform, to manage all of the nodes from one place and the licensing around that."
"It would be nice if there were more parts available in Brazil and HPE could swap out faulty equipment quicker."
"The penalty for the availability is performance. So, you have to balance or choose between the availability and the performance."
"I would like to have this solution easily integrate with VMware."
"An area for improvement would be that it's pretty difficult to manage synchronous replication over multiple regions."
"Routing around slow hardware."
"It takes some time to re-balance the storage in case of server failure."
"The product lacks RDMA support for inter-OSD communication."
"If you use for any other solution like other Kubernetes solutions, it's not very suitable."
"Rebalancing and recovery are a bit slow."
"Geo-replication needs improvement. It is a new feature, and not well supported yet."
"Ceph is not a mature product at this time. Guides are misleading and incomplete. You will meet all kind of bugs and errors trying to install the system for the first time. It requires very experienced personnel to support and keep the system in working condition, and install all necessary packets."
