"What I like best about Dell ECS is its stability. I also like that you can use it for large-scale data purposes. The solution works fine for me, and I haven't encountered any issues with it."
"We face very few hardware failures."
"It is a stable platform."
"What I like best about this product is that it is a complete solution, both hardware, and software, by the same vendor."
"It is a stable solution."
"The performance is good."
"I have been satisfied with the stability."
"Data redundancy is a key feature, since it can survive failures (disks/servers). We didn’t lose our data or have a service interruption during server/disk failures."
"The most valuable feature is the stability of the product."
"The ability to provide block storage and object storage from the same storage cluster is very valuable for us."
"I like the distributed and self-healing nature of the product."
"We use the solution for cloud storage."
"We have not encountered any stability issues for the product."
"We have some legacy servers that can be associated with this structure. With Ceph, we can rearrange these machines and reuse our investment."
"We are using Ceph internal inexpensive disk and data redundancy without spending extra money on external storage."
"The solution needs to provide better integration between this solution and all other kinds of systems."
"The major weakness in the solution is that there is no cloud version for Dell ECS."
"There is room for improvement in the DPI reports, as they could be made more user-friendly."
"In Taiwan, they don't have professional technical support."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"The solution could be more cost-effective and secure."
"Its security can be improved."
"The initial setup is not so easy."
"Geo-replication needs improvement. It is a new feature, and not well supported yet."
"I would like to see better performance and stability when Ceph is in recovery."
"The management features are pretty good, but they still have room for improvement."
"Please create a failback solution for OpenStack replication and maybe QoS to allow guaranteed IOPS."
"Routing around slow hardware."
"The product lacks RDMA support for inter-OSD communication."
"This product uses a lot of CPU and network bandwidth. It needs some deduplication features and to use delta for rebalancing."
"I have encountered issues with stability when replication factor was not 3, which is the default and recommended value. Go below 3 and problems will arise."
