    EMC ViPR SRM vs. NetApp OnCommand Insight vs. EMC Control Center

    What is most valuable?

    The most valuable features of either of the SRM tools, were the reporting and real-time ability to show management that additional storage was required or in regards to who was using what storage and bandwidth. All the attributes of the tool had real importance, when you needed time to create some reports for the management and to email those reports on a regular basis.

    What needs improvement?

    By the time they rolled out its predecessor SMC and Unisphere, the old ECC was trying to do too much within a large enterprise environment.

    What needs improvement with Dell Storage Resource Manager?
    Top Answer:It needs to be segregated if you compare the EMC storage with HP and IBM. We have to identify the reliability of the fiber channel ports. If this can be improved, it will be better for the end-user… more »
