We performed a comparison between HPE StoreVirtual and Red Hat Ceph Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about StarWind, Nutanix, Red Hat and others in Software Defined Storage (SDS)."The seamlessness behind the scenes of block management."
"The solution is very stable."
"Simplicity of not having to buy FC or FCoE SAN. Instead, we buy servers with their own storage."
"The initial setup is straightforward, not a complex procedure."
"It's very stable and it's easy to use."
"The network RAID feature gives us maximum availability, since we cannot afford any downtime, even for a second."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is that it is hardware independent."
"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."
"Replicated and erasure coded pools have allowed for multiple copies to be kept, easy scale-out of additional nodes, and easy replacement of failed hard drives. The solution continues working even when there are errors."
"I like the distributed and self-healing nature of the product."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"High reliability with commodity hardware."
"radosgw and librados provide a simple integration with clone, snapshots, and other functions that aid in data integrity."
"We have some legacy servers that can be associated with this structure. With Ceph, we can rearrange these machines and reuse our investment."
"What I found most valuable from Red Hat Ceph Storage is integration because if you are talking about a solution that consists purely of Red Hat products, this is where integration benefits come in. In particular, Red Hat Ceph Storage becomes a single solution for managing the entire environment in terms of the container or the infrastructure, or the worker nodes because it all comes from a single plug."
"It's a very performance-intensive, brilliant storage system, and I always recommend it to customers based on its benefits, performance, and scalability."
"Hardware and disk failures are happening frequently."
"it would nice to have deduplication or compression, things that you have in some of the higher end products."
"f you're doing the 10Gb adapters, SFPs don't come with it, but it doesn't say that. It might say that somewhere else, but it's not clear."
"It would be nice if there were more parts available in Brazil and HPE could swap out faulty equipment quicker."
"Configuration of application integrated snapshots for VMware is convoluted and it did not work immediately."
"It is a costly solution."
"User interface could be improved."
"The initial setup could be simplified to make it easier for new users."
"Ceph is not a mature product at this time. Guides are misleading and incomplete. You will meet all kind of bugs and errors trying to install the system for the first time. It requires very experienced personnel to support and keep the system in working condition, and install all necessary packets."
"Rebalancing and recovery are a bit slow."
"Geo-replication needs improvement. It is a new feature, and not well supported yet."
"It would be nice to have a notification feature whenever an important action is completed."
"Please create a failback solution for OpenStack replication and maybe QoS to allow guaranteed IOPS."
"The product lacks RDMA support for inter-OSD communication."
"It needs a better UI for easier installation and management."
"What could be improved in Red Hat Ceph Storage is its user interface or GUI."
