"The most valuable features are their tight integration with VMware, their multi-node architecture, and their copy services, such as Peer Persistence."
"We're able to move things around with more agility. I can take it off one server and slap it on another in a couple of minutes... And the speed is outstanding."
"When we bought it, the big sell for us was what they called "wide striping", how they striped the data and could get performance on a cheaper disk. Nowadays, the newer models that are out, which we are going to in the next couple of years, the most valuable feature is mainly being able to achieve such high IOPS in such a small chassis."
"It is very easy to manage. I can provision disks and monitor the performance easily."
"It is easy to manage and performs very well."
"The deduplication functionality is great. We have seen a lot of benefits in the deduplication ratio. So, it has proven that it is a good cost savings."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ has a good interface, it is user-friendly and easy to use."
"I like its storage capacity, quick access to the data, speed, and overall storage management."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ should increase the storage capacity."
"As long as they can keep the solution stable, it will be good. Stability is very important to us."
"We have had some bad issues on stability."
"Feature-wise, with the InfoSight additions, there is a lot of the stuff missing in the intelligent interface. As they grow and push, a lot of it will not tie into Hyper-V."
"During the initial setup, it was a bit complex in the wiring of the cages."
"There were a few goofy things with support where we were trying to do OS upgrades and HPE MyRoom failed. However, they would not get on WebEx because they are only allowed to get on HPE MyRoom."
"There are issues formulating the upgraded disk."
"We've had some issues when we were trying to upgrade, doing some firmware upgrades."
"The main thing Oracle can improve is the cost. It would be better if Oracle opened up the system to enable integration with other vendors. Whether it's the database, application server, or storage appliance, they should make it easy to integrate them. They need to open up more to ensure that it can work in any environment and IT ecosystem."
