"Hitachi is reliable with high availability and solid performance. It performs well regardless of the workload."
"Hitachi NAS Platform is very stable."
"If you can handle the IOPS, throughput is a natural byproduct. Usually, IOPS is where you are capped. HPE has done a great job in making sure that our IOP-intensive EMRs stay up and running. We have really good performance on them."
"The solution, stability, and the performance work well for us."
"We have been able to scale faster and get our applications out in much less time. We don't need to worry about the platform's ability to manage the workload, so we are pretty happy."
"Our applications are now at least two to four times faster."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ is easy to use and has good performance."
"So far, we have yet to have a disk fail on either system, other than one I forced to fail when we first got the system in. So the reliability of the 3PAR system has been outstanding."
"We can do more, faster, whether it's spinning up more virtual machines or handling large amounts of data."
"The product lasts a very long time without having to be replaced. It's had a very long life."

"I encounter challenges while installing the upgrades for the product."
"We have had some challenges in the Arabic implementation and in migration, but for daily work, it's fine."
"We do not use Memory-Driven Flash in the old 3PAR. Perhaps we will use it in the new 3PAR. That is part of the reason why we are upgrading."
"This solution should be easier to use."
"We would like to see the ability to not only be integrated with hybrid IT, but on-prem."
"They should add AI-enabled dashboards to the solution."
"We would like to see a bigger integration with the Nimble Storage solution, so we can take our smaller regional companies and be able to send them into our bigger data centers and have everything work seamlessly."
"I would like to see compatibility with NVMe."
"It's a little bit difficult to figure out where the capacity is used. There is deduplication that, of course, saves space, but it sometimes it's hard to find out where the space is used. If you delete something, do you get it back? So it's not very transparent regarding capacity."
