Find out in this report how the two Modular SAN (Storage Area Network) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"Technical support, when we had access to it, was very good."
"If you have one datacenter fail, the VMs will start to run inside the other data center."
"You can always trust it. It is stable."
"It has contributed to the implementation of virtualization and all its benefits."
"The technical support is very good."
"The product is very stable."
"It is extremely reliable."
"Dell's technical support is very good."
"This system has been (by far) the easiest to use, manage, and expand."
"The solutions has increased our performance. We went from 24,000 IOPS to around 70,000 IOPS."
"The solution fetches quick responses in milliseconds which can be within 40-50 milliseconds."
"Good performance because it's an all-flash system. Basically, our applications run faster."
"The command line is very extensive, a lot of tools so in comparison to other vendors. It's one of the great things about 3PAR, that you can really drill down on performance, get statistics, really know how your system is internally performing."
"Very recently, we are able to do a lot of data center automation by being able to script some of the 3PAR actions for our private cloud."
"We have had it for about two years and had zero problems with it."
"The most valuable features are their tight integration with VMware, their multi-node architecture, and their copy services, such as Peer Persistence."
"The product is reaching the end-of-lifecycle."
"The solution is out of date and the new version has a lot of advanced features."
"It is at the end of support and no longer supported. We have to move our VMware to another storage platform, and we have decided to use Dell PowerStore. We like Dell's products, and it is a new platform with a lot of features."
"If I need to have more space or more capacity, I need to replace the product. It would be ideal if we could scale without replacing the box itself."
"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."
"The performance isn't as good as, for example, Nimble."
"I can't buy any more solutions provided by EqualLogic...Since I can't buy it anymore, I don't receive any updates on the solution. Also, this is the last year in which one can buy support for the solution."
"There is no inline deduplication capability."
"Needs more flexibility and expansion, and also relocation, a cloud solution."
"HP has several integration elements that work with other vendor storage products. I'd like to see a greater expansion on that so that a customer can do a more seamless migration from other vendor products."
"I would like to see an automatic re-balancing system or functionality for adaptive optimization."
"HPE could improve by making an old flash system in order to compete with the current market. For the solution to be more competitive in the mid-range market they could increase the performance."
"Would like to see some management functions through a web interface."
"The newer versions have some other characteristics that we are not using. We would like to use them and set them up in our current version."
"Scalability and management could be improved."
"Upgrades could be improved. We would like to see more upgrades."
