We performed a comparison between Dell EqualLogic PS series and VNX [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, IBM, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Modular SAN (Storage Area Network)."Dell EqualLogic PS series is a highly stable solution."
"It is extremely reliable."
"It is stable and scalable."
"We were attracted by the flexibility of being able to put in a new shelf whenever we needed to, to expand."
"Dell's technical support is very good."
"The technical support for EqualLogic has been universally outstanding."
"Technical support, when we had access to it, was very good."
"You can always trust it. It is stable."
"High availability including non-disruptive updates: We cannot afford downtime windows."
"One of the best features of the VNX is the ability to combine drives of different types into a virtual Storage Pool. By combining small but fast flash drives, SAS drives, and high-capacity but slower NL-SAS drives, the VNX can intelligently move data to the different tiers of storage based on usage."
"I really value deduplication and compression to save space."
"Multi-tiering, positively affects the efficiency of the storage space."
"The implementation of both block and file system storage in a single GUI provides is better situated than most other storages."
"Good performance for VM environments"
"The replication feature provides another functionality to protect your data."
"It is very stable, even during multiple power failures."
"The performance isn't as good as, for example, Nimble."
"Why is it not possible for both controllers to be simultaneously active (load balancing)?"
"The replication efficiency needs to be improved."
"6510 and 6610 have two iSCSI connections in each controller. Why do 6110xxx members have only one, and why do the same members have the possibility of having an active iSCSI interface in the passive controller? It could make a lot of noise with a failover."
"We need more space and we can't get any."
"I can't buy any more solutions provided by EqualLogic...Since I can't buy it anymore, I don't receive any updates on the solution. Also, this is the last year in which one can buy support for the solution."
"The solution is out of date and the new version has a lot of advanced features."
"The searchable online documentation is missing."
"EMC VNX needs to support bigger SSDs. Next generation EMC Unity will do this."
"It would be very helpful to get an automated report that shows you the size of the checkpoints and get warnings when a checkpoint is reaching either maximum capacity per a file system or hitting the ceiling on the SavVol pool consumption."
"If the VNX had embedded encryption, that would be great."
"EMC VNX needs to support bigger SSD and the Next Generation EMC Unity does this."
"Poor connection to FC."
"The CLI could be better documented, like with VMAX."
"The scalability is average because the storage has some hardware limitations and, obviously, operating system limitations."
"Intel Xeon processors with under 2 GHz processing speeds could be replaced with more recent ones."
