Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, IBM, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Modular SAN (Storage Area Network)."It is very stable."
"HPE has reliable support for HDD replacement."
"There have been no fail-stop failures for the last five years."
"They have a virtualization feature and, even if you do not want to buy that feature, you can have it as a trial for two to three months. If you have another brand of storage from another company, you can use this tool to transfer all your data from the old system to the new Storwize system, which really shortens the migration time."
"The feature I find most valuable, is the deduplication, because the nature of the data that we are using in our current environment, has a lot of replicated data."
"Flash disk with Easy Tier option"
"The initial customer technical support was efficient and effective."
"The most valuable features are, of course, the virtualization of the storage, the performance, and the compression."
"High availability and enhanced security; Proven dependability; Data compression with hardware acceleration; Advanced copy services features are all in this product."
"The most valuable features of IBM FlashSystem are performance and security."
"The most valuable features were the performance of the array, i.e., very low latency and high IOPS. Plus, the management interface is very easy to use."
"Performance could probably be improve with faster controllers, but it is already an old device. We do have performance problems now, but it is a rather old device, so we have what we have."
"Our model does not support compression or deduplication."
"It could be easier to implement."
"I would like to see an improvement in the handling of large amounts of rights."
"With regards to the IBM V7000 storage system, where we have multiple tiers of storage, a heat map would show I/O distribution across the tiers of storage."
"The basic setup can be challenging when it comes to certain IP addresses and the configuration of the IP. You have to go in to different menus to makes changes and ensure it is stable."
"The security features can be improved such that the encryption does not affect performance in any way."
"The ease of installation should be improved. We had issues with the configuration model."
"It has room for improvement in the area of stability."
