Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, IBM, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Modular SAN (Storage Area Network)."Service from EMC was extremely good. Whenever a disk had a problem, EMC was right on top of it. In some instances, they called me before I even knew what was going on."
"We were attracted by the flexibility of being able to put in a new shelf whenever we needed to, to expand."
"The technical support is very good."
"The solution has been working well overall."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Dell's technical support is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Dell EqualLogic PS series auto tiering by using this feature, the customer can get higher performance on a valuable budget."
"Its high availability. It has a lot of redundancy and good management software as well as good alerting."
"It has contributed to the implementation of virtualization and all its benefits."
"It needs better deduplication. Deduplication was costing too many resources, hence we never used it."
"The solution is out of date and the new version has a lot of advanced features."
"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."
"The performance isn't as good as, for example, Nimble."
"The searchable online documentation is missing."
"6510 and 6610 have two iSCSI connections in each controller. Why do 6110xxx members have only one, and why do the same members have the possibility of having an active iSCSI interface in the passive controller? It could make a lot of noise with a failover."
"Individual file recovery would be a nice additional feature."
"There is no inline deduplication capability."
"Synchronous replication uses space inefficiently."
