"The technical support for EqualLogic has been universally outstanding."
"It is extremely reliable."
"We were attracted by the flexibility of being able to put in a new shelf whenever we needed to, to expand."
"The most valuable feature of Dell EqualLogic PS series auto tiering by using this feature, the customer can get higher performance on a valuable budget."
"Dell EqualLogic PS series is a highly stable solution."
"It has contributed to the implementation of virtualization and all its benefits."
"Its high availability. It has a lot of redundancy and good management software as well as good alerting."
"Good performance for VM environments"
"Integration with VMware"
"I really value deduplication and compression to save space."
"It is very stable, even during multiple power failures."
"The replication feature provides another functionality to protect your data."
"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."
"Multi-tiering, positively affects the efficiency of the storage space."
"High availability including non-disruptive updates: We cannot afford downtime windows."
"Individual file recovery would be a nice additional feature."
"The solution is out of date and the new version has a lot of advanced features."
"There is no inline deduplication capability."
"The performance isn't as good as, for example, Nimble."
"Why is it not possible for both controllers to be simultaneously active (load balancing)?"
"It is at the end of support and no longer supported. We have to move our VMware to another storage platform, and we have decided to use Dell PowerStore. We like Dell's products, and it is a new platform with a lot of features."
"The product is reaching the end-of-lifecycle."
"The searchable online documentation is missing."
"If the VNX had embedded encryption, that would be great."
"The administrative console (Navisphere/Unisphere) needs some improvement, especially on their Java-based GUI. The updated version of Java is not compatible."
"EMC VNX needs to support bigger SSD and the Next Generation EMC Unity does this."
"EMC VNX needs to support bigger SSDs. Next generation EMC Unity will do this."
"The scalability is average because the storage has some hardware limitations and, obviously, operating system limitations."
"There is an easy replication process between distinct data centers via VPLEX and/or RPA. But I hope in the future that EMC/Dell could replicate this with other types of storage."
"Poor connection to FC."
"Intel Xeon processors with under 2 GHz processing speeds could be replaced with more recent ones."
