Has the ability to automatically deal with faulty disks
In terms of the most beneficial features of the product, I would say that during the faulty disk replacement process, the tool automatically ungroups the faulty disk, so from the tool itself, anybody can identify which disk is faulty and then repair it. The data replication part is not enabled in the product that I use since the DRP feature is not enabled. I work with the product's high availability feature. Considering the size of the environment where the product is used, the product offers around 80 to 90 TB of storage space. I won't recommend the product to others who plan to use it. The implementation process of the product would be as per the standard of the organization where it is going to be used. Everyone should have their own organizational data structure as per the data orientation needs. I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

"Dell PowerVault offers valuable full flash storage."

"​It is very stable."
"The solution's most valuable feature is storage provisioning, which allows me to easily provision the disk space on the servers."

Cons

"In most instances, clients are using Dell PowerVault with tape drives, but we want to transition them away from tape drives due to the risk of data loss."
"We need higher performance and more reliable storage."
"If the solution came with a synchronous application, it would be particularly advantageous for small businesses operating across multiple sites."

"The tool needs to improve its UI."

"Dell PowerVault could improve by having a higher cache and file protocol support added."
More Dell PowerVault cons

"I faced some issues during the disk replacement process in HPE EVA."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
