Find out in this report how the two NAS solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product has great data storage performance with a 100% data security and availability guarantee."
"What I like best about Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series is that it's a fast storage solution. It also has reliable models. The sales support is also good for this product. Even the pricing for it is good."
"It is robust. It doesn't need too much troubleshooting. It is a good device."
"The biggest benefit of the Hitachi platform is 100 percent storage uptime. It's also highly cost-effective."
"The most valuable feature is that it has 'eight nines' availability, 99.999999 percent of the time. That is the main selling point."
"The setup is very easy to manage and configure. The initial setup and takes one hour more or less."
"Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform 5000 Series exhibits good performance and has good IOPS: 300 IOPS. The technical support for this product is also good."
"This is one of the most stable, high-end solutions in this area."
"It's quite easy to scale, and you have the option to have distributed nodes everywhere around the world that work as one. You can also have a solution for small branch offices with only two nodes for redundancy, and that's good enough to start."
"A great feature involves real-time hardware changes."
"The most valuable feature is the solution's ease of upgrading."
"Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure has a simple, user-friendly GUI, and I also like the remote recovery capabilities. It provides a single platform for managing databases."
"Its low maintenance is a key feature. It is easy to install, upgrade, and scale by adding more blocks."
"Most beneficial feature is simplicity, ease of use."
"In addition to the hyper-converged infrastructure, most of our clients are pleased with Acropolis' built-in replication in terms of the DR setup. Our clients also like Prism Central's advanced management and analytics, and many find Nutanix Flow and playbooks incredibly useful."
"The fact that there is only one interface to deploy a complete solution for maximum storage is fantastic."
"This product should be easier to install and set up."
"Hitachi Vantara has invested heavily in improving their management interface, however, they still have a way to go to catch up with many of their competitors."
"We moved away from this product because we were looking for an all-flash solution, and with our G1500 at the time, perhaps two years ago, they were just proposing more of the same technology."
"Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform needs to improve its scalability options where there are a few shortcomings."
"The installation procedure it a bit difficult, because it is a high-end solution. With this type of product, the original company is interested in doing the setup for customers in the area, but because of sanctions we were not able to get support in our area. We faced many issued trying to learn to run this product."
"For the support windows to work, maybe they have to upgrade the firmware of the VSP. They changed the hardware or the disk. I don't know if it was the port blade they changed or a VM for a memory cache. Also, replacing the old target with the processor target would be fine. The old equipment is very easy to manage, and I don't have any bad commentary."
"We have not been able to procure more discs for upcoming projects and this has been a problem for us. Not having additional storage is going to be an issue. The solution is at its end of life and will be replaced soon."
"The user interface should be made simpler because it is difficult to manage."
"There is a need is to be able to consume Nutanix storage from outside the cluster for other, non-Nutanix workloads."
"In Thailand, there really isn't a cloud version of Nutanx available to us."
"The only problem is that not many operating systems are supported on the AOS hypervisor. They need to probably increase the support on multiple operating systems. As of now, a very limited number of operating systems and patch levels are supported on AOS."
"We'd like to have more resource management."
"The GUI for this solution needs improvement."
"There should be a little more access to Nutanix files."
"Nutanix Acropolis AOS is new technology in a competitive market. Pricing is too high for a new product and requires better discounts to be able to compete with IBM, Dell EMC, and HP."
"With some projects that we are deploying, there are errors that arise when adding nodes."
