The version that we are using is very near to the end of its life.
We will occasionally do code updates, but it is very difficult to buy disc drives for it anymore. I am not even sure that you can buy capacity upgrades.
It's fairly easy to implement this product.
I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Aim to implement additional features like de-duplication and compression. That should enhance the experience. Focus on unified features. People are now more cost-effective. They want to have one box with multiple features.
I would rate EMC VMAX an eight out of ten. I would like to see more deduplication and compression features in order to make it a ten.

The advice I would give to others looking to implement EMC VMAX is to look at it from the costing and support perspective. This is my advice since we don't have that many requirements aside from the tools, overall performance and the cost.
On a scale from one to ten, 10 being the best, I would give VMAX3 an 8 out of 10.
If someone is looking for a product that can give the best performance under heavy load then this is the product they must go for. We are running a big infrastructure of voip services on it and we don’t get any complaint of latency of delays from our customers.
