Find out what your peers are saying about StarWind, Nutanix, Red Hat and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS)."Simplicity of not having to buy FC or FCoE SAN. Instead, we buy servers with their own storage."
"The solution is very stable."
"Data is stored in two different places, leveraging more security and availability. Therefore, network problems are having less affect on iSCSI."
"Thin provisioning lets us get the most value from the hard drives."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't had any issues with glitches or bugs."
"StoreVirtual is that it is our software-defined solution and it's everywhere."
"The seamlessness behind the scenes of block management."
"he interface and the installation makes it easy as it's all in one piece of hardware and it doesn't need to be connected to anything else."
"The most valuable feature is the robustness, which is typical of IBM because their software generally just works."
"The ease of use is the solution's most valuable aspect. It's very user-friendly."
"One of the areas that need improvement is the consolidated management platform, to manage all of the nodes from one place and the licensing around that."
"The penalty for the availability is performance. So, you have to balance or choose between the availability and the performance."
"it would nice to have deduplication or compression, things that you have in some of the higher end products."
"Hardware and disk failures are happening frequently."
"User interface could be improved."
"It is a costly solution."
"Product looks like it is in the end of development."
"The GUI is a bit old-fashioned. It should be updated."
"The reporting mechanisms need improvement."
"he interface is not user-friendly so the ease of use could be improved."
