We performed a comparison between Hitachi Universal Storage VM [EOL] and Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Hitachi Vantara, IBM, Dell Technologies and others in Frame-Based Disk Arrays."Processes that used to take 40 minutes to two hours can be completed in five minutes."
"It's actually very stable"
"We've had to use tech support on a number of occasions. They did everything remotely and talked us all the way through. They fixed the issue within 30 minutes. Every single time we contact them, they're perfect. I would give their technical support a ten out of ten."
"There was a dramatic improvement in operating costs just as a result of the environmentals and space, let alone the cost of the unit itself."
"The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is the complete set of functions it provides."
"The solution offers amazing performance."
"Redundancy and the fault tolerance of the platform are the most impressive."
"Very stable; no worries about how much it can handle."
"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."
"The high performance of flash storage is especially valuable to us."
"Overall, the solution is strong, easy and fast."
"The Hitachi VSP has significantly improved data storage scalability by addressing various issues. Through their research and development efforts, they've incorporated customer feedback regarding deployment speed and performance requirements."
"The hybrid array provides scaleable, predictable, high performance with no capacity constraints."
"It is very flexible, and it is very useful when you want to virtualize different storage from different vendors."
"Data optimization, compression, and deduplication are the most important features for us."
"The most valuable feature is that it has 'eight nines' availability, 99.999999 percent of the time. That is the main selling point."
"The first thing that attracted this model to us was the non-disruptive migration. We had a very large database application that was on older gear and needed to be migrated to these arrays. We had experience with virtualizing behind an array and moving applications and data but this made it even better."
"They are doing some stuff with containers and an object search. These could be improved, because containers is one of the main topics that we are talking with our customers about."
"As partners, we should have the option to download the software, rather than have to go back through Pure to obtain it."
"I'd like to see a move towards individual VMs for what the performance of each VM is in a VD infrastructure. I can see the overall volume, but I would love to see things in a more granular level on the VM side."
"The 3PAR SSD arrays that we have are still failing a lot so even though we're under warranty, we still have to get someone out and usually have someone troubleshoot so that usually adds onto the cost. With Pure, we've had a disc fail and we pop it out and you pop it in and it's good to go."
"There are many features which need to be added, particularly on the replication side."
"We haven't seen ROI."
"The support for NFS protocols right out-of-the-box need improvement. I'm used to other storage vendors who have NFS support right out-of-the-box, and Pure Storage doesn't seem to have anything."
"The solution could improve by having a multi-tenant feature."
"The exterior display needs to be improved."
"Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform needs to improve its scalability options where there are a few shortcomings."
"The complex setup phase is an area where improvements are needed."
"The snapshot and clone operation functions can be made easier."
"The life-cycle of the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series is too short. We only had approximately four or five years out of the solution before it was rendered its end of life."
"Hitachi should offer a distinct overview of the various storage choices."
"In terms of new features, I would be interested to see deduplication added in their next release."
"The distributor needs more knowledgeable resources for technical support. It would be better to connect directly to the vendor in case of queries."
"One problem is that there are too many management tools for the F Series and for all the other Hitachi storage systems. There are four or five such solutions. Maybe these could be combined in the future."
