Find out in this report how the two All-Flash Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Technical support is good."
"The most valuable feature is how it simplifies the management of the SAN."
"Data deduplication features make it easier to manage storage and forecast growth."
"It helps to simplify storage because it has an easy front-end to access everything."
"The performance of the storage is just unbelievable."
"It has improved my organization because now have lower latency, we get fewer complaints from customers, and we see a constant response time."
"Their technical support is excellent. It's the best out of any of the vendors we work with."
"The scalability options are very nice because you can scale it much better and faster. The scalability was there in the previous environment also, but this is far better than what we had before. It basically helps the user in case they are looking for more storage. We can scale it much faster."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ is easy to use and has good performance."
"Being able to snapshot things for backup purposes has been key. We do that on our databases four times a day."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"I found it easy to deploy and simple to configure the storage."
"Good performance because it's an all-flash system. Basically, our applications run faster."
"The solutions has increased our performance. We went from 24,000 IOPS to around 70,000 IOPS."
"I think the storage is very good, the way it stores, the thin provisioning it provides, and the data protection. And it's easy to deploy in any environment. We are using VMware. So for me, it's a right click and it's deployed. We can configure and create LUNS very easily with 3PAR management, and the interface is very user-friendly. Easily understandable."
"It's advantageous in terms of the cost, in terms of the performance, and taking up less space."
"The solution’s overall security is good."
"The product offers good performance."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the overall simplicity."
"The majority of our customers find this solution simple to use."
"There are plenty of features available in this solution."
"We can use Huawei OceanStor Dorado capacity storage for many different purposes."
"The most valuable aspects encompass a comprehensive set of common features, such as NetFlow technology, hyper-micro, and hyper-application functionalities."
"The installation and management are very easy."
"I would like to see support for NVMe, end-to-end."
"It needs to improve its price."
"There was some complexity in the initial setup."
"Currently, the solution fails to support file screening."
"It would be good to have metrics of the box's performance so we can see what it delivers, but currently, I can't see what it's actually doing."
"We would like more extended historical data to help with some of the capacity planning. This is something that we are asking for all the time. E.g., what was the historical performance of this particular volume? So, we would like more historicals."
"We would like to see more development on their Copy Automation Tool (CAT) for Oracle, as well as better integration for our customers running Oracle VM."
"This product has only two active controllers, whereas other solutions can have more. This is something that needs to improve."
"We have had a few issues with it. We had our virtual environment lock up a few times on storage-based things. We think we have it sorted out, but maybe it came down to a configuration issue on it."
"if it were easier for us to manage the product ourselves without having to get HPE to connect, because it sometimes it does take a bit to get the scheduling worked out with the HPE support. If it were simpler, then it might be easier for us to handle it ourselves."
"We need additional enhancements to InfoSight, especially from a VM standpoint. Today, we can see in the Azure VM performance stats in 3PAR, but it is so huge, we can't just drill down on each and every VM and look at its performance."
"I would like them to improve it so I can do firmware upgrades without downtime."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ should increase the storage capacity."
"I need flexibility for interoperability across multiple platforms, not just HPE."
"We've started to see an issue with the older models that we have. We've had issues where facilities would have unscheduled power outages or scheduled power outages and the 3PARs weren't able to come up successfully. We actually had an incident recently where it wiped data that we didn't anticipate would be wiped."
"I would like the documentation easy to find. There is a lot of documentation, but sometimes it is hard to find. You have to do a lot of searching to find it."
"If they implement a backup solution directly into the OceanStor then it will be a valuable feature."
"Difficult integration with third parties."
"This solution can improve by providing easier migrations and better Metro features."
"The speeds of the disks themselves need to be faster. The disks are not flash. When we opened our hard drive from the inclusion, I saw a converter, and it's not entirely flash."
"This solution does not support VMware VVols 2.0."
"An area of this product that has room for improvement is the NAS capability."
"It should have easy connectivity with the AIX, however, I've found that with AIX, it has some issues and due to this, we need to remove the exact fiber card sometimes and then plug it in again so that it can connect with the AIX systems."
"The product could always be faster."
