HPE 3PAR Flash Storage Review
It's reliable and it's fast.

Valuable Features

It's reliable and it's fast.

Room for Improvement

They are constantly moving and will address an issue instantaneously. If somebody has an issue, HPE is very responsive because the 3PAR is one of the flagship products. I haven’t had any issues and they’re very on top of making sure that we follow through with code upgrades.

Stability Issues

The 3PAR is very reliable. Most of our performance complaints went away after we put the 3PARs in. We also went from a 4 GB to 16 GB fibre channel, so it’s simple to manage and easily serviceable by our technicians.

Scalability Issues

We have had no issues with our 3PARs. We like them a lot.

Customer Service and Technical Support

HPE support is very good. I've never had an issue with it. HPE stands behind their product so they work hard to fix issues.

Other Advice

To pick a solution, we generally create a matrix and then fill in what we want out of the product. We pump in vendors and choose whoever meets the targets that we set. I would also advise that users follow best practices with the 3PAR.

Disclosure: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.
