We performed a comparison between IBM FlashSystem and INFINIDAT InfiniBox based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Nasuni and others in NAS."The initial customer technical support was efficient and effective."
"The ability to create LUNs and modify them are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The solution is scalable and has varying degrees of scalability."
"The valuable features for us are the extra add-ons, such as the FIM provisioning, the compression, the disaster recovery capabilities, and the storage pooling functions."
"The storage system is one of the best in the world."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is SCM (Storage Class Memory), which has the lowest latency value in the storage industry."
"The performance of IBM FlashSystem is very good. The new technology and high throughput have given us more confidence in the solution. The management of the system has improved and we can control the monitoring system alerts and multiple FlashSystems with the Enterprise Cloud Edition, which is free. The migration of recently stored data to a new flash is much easier. You can move your data because you can utilize it externally."
"IBM's technical support do excellent work."
"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
"This product has good performance."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The product needs to improve their scalability."
"This solution needs a management console where we are alerted to issues and can report them, or escalate them through email or another method."
"The deduplication and compression ratio is not very good. It's not reaching a very high ratio."
"The GUI for monitoring performance metrics could provide better visibility. For example, it doesn't let me segregate the IOPS per volume."
"The solution is not able to replicate data in one-to-many scenario."
"AHV is Acropolis Hypervisor – A relatively new Hypervisor, robust and stable as VMware vSphere, has built-in advanced analytics and powerful operations, Self Service Portal and components for DevOps included, managed by a single pane of glass (Prism) via HTML5 and it is free of charge – That is why Nutanix is so advanced and revolutionary."
"Events/log analysis tools."
"The response time for read requests can be improved."
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."
