We performed a comparison between HPE EVA and VNX [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, IBM, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and others in Modular SAN (Storage Area Network)."There have been no fail-stop failures for the last five years."
"It is very stable."
"HPE has reliable support for HDD replacement."
"It is very stable, even during multiple power failures."
"It is very stable even during multiple power failures."
"Integration with VMware"
"High availability including non-disruptive updates: We cannot afford downtime windows."
"Good performance for VM environments"
"Multi-tiering, positively affects the efficiency of the storage space."
"One of the best features of the VNX is the ability to combine drives of different types into a virtual Storage Pool. By combining small but fast flash drives, SAS drives, and high-capacity but slower NL-SAS drives, the VNX can intelligently move data to the different tiers of storage based on usage."
"The replication feature provides another functionality to protect your data."
"Performance could probably be improve with faster controllers, but it is already an old device. We do have performance problems now, but it is a rather old device, so we have what we have."
"There is an easy replication process between distinct data centers via VPLEX and/or RPA. But I hope in the future that EMC/Dell could replicate this with other types of storage."
"The CLI could be better documented, like with VMAX."
"Based on our workloads, we see repeatedly in performance reports that the built-in controller (SP) cache of our VNX model is not sufficiently large, resulting in forced cache flushing."
"There is no easy way to defrag a RAID group. It would be nice to be able to reduce the size of a storage pool if the storage is not needed anymore."
"If the VNX had embedded encryption, that would be great."
"The management software used for the VNX is Unicenter. While it is an improvement over Navicenter, used in older EMC SANs, it still feels outdated in comparison to other SAN management software."
"The administrative console (Navisphere/Unisphere) needs some improvement, especially on their Java-based GUI. The updated version of Java is not compatible."
"It would be very helpful to get an automated report that shows you the size of the checkpoints and get warnings when a checkpoint is reaching either maximum capacity per a file system or hitting the ceiling on the SavVol pool consumption."
HPE EVA is ranked 9th in Modular SAN (Storage Area Network) while VNX [EOL] doesn't meet the minimum requirements to be ranked in Modular SAN (Storage Area Network). HPE EVA is rated 8.6, while VNX [EOL] is rated 8.0. The top reviewer of HPE EVA writes "There is reliable support for HDD replacement". On the other hand, the top reviewer of VNX [EOL] writes "The auto-tiering helps in the speed of data access". HPE EVA is most compared with HPE 3PAR StoreServ and HPE StorageWorks MSA, whereas VNX [EOL] is most compared with .
