"It is stable and scalable."
"I like its storage capacity, quick access to the data, speed, and overall storage management."
"Dell EqualLogic PS series could improve by providing fiber channel connectivity. Fiber channel connectivity is not supported, which is a requirement of advanced applications, such as SAP HANA. SAP HANA recommends fiber channel connectivity, but the Dell EqualLogic PS series is only an ISCSI data storage."
"Dell EqualLogic PS series could improve the performance because in our hybrid configuration the read speed is faster than the write speed."
"There is no option for mixing RAID types in one device."
"Synchronous replication uses space inefficiently."
"The solution is out of date and the new version has a lot of advanced features."
"If I need to have more space or more capacity, I need to replace the product. It would be ideal if we could scale without replacing the box itself."

"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."
