Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I guess on the top of the list is certainly ease of use.""The solution's most valuable aspect is that it is hardware independent.""The initial setup is straightforward, not a complex procedure.""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 network RAID feature gives us maximum availability, since we cannot afford any downtime, even for a second.""All of the administrative tasks are easy and everything is centralized.""It appears to be very stable and very robust.""It's very stable and it's easy to use."

More HPE StoreVirtual Pros →

"Integration with vCenter WebClient services and Cisco UCS Ecosystem, as it gives a Single Pane Of Management which lowers administration-cost (improving TCO)."

More Springpath [EOL] Pros →

Cons
"The solution needs to ensure it is on par with the industry in terms of availability of features and various other options.""The GUI is a bit old-fashioned. It should be updated.""The management aspect of the solution needs to be improved in order to make the product stronger.""The product is coming to end-of-life in the next three years.""It is a costly solution.""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.""it would nice to have deduplication or compression, things that you have in some of the higher end products.""It would be nice if there were more parts available in Brazil and HPE could swap out faulty equipment quicker."

"Stability during installations/upgrades is a big issue."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The prices are OK, so we don't have much difficulty selling HPE in Brazil."
  • "One of the key features about it is that when you buy either a VSA license or a StoreVirtual appliance, all your software's included."
  • "If you buy a five-year license, not only does the technical support expire after five years, but you also lose the ability to change and expand the VSA, and the systems won't go down."
  • "Licensing is not exactly straightforward, but not the worst I have ever seen."
  • "For our organization, I believe the cost is 16,000 Euros for a three-year license. It costs a bit more to do the maintenance on our servers as well. It's also on an HP ProLiant server and an organization will need to do the maintenance there also. I believe the price for that is around 2000 Euros a year."
  • "It costs less than $10,000 for one machine. If it costs more than 15% higher than this, then the customer may change to another solution."

    Overview

    HPE StoreVirtual storage ensures that organisations can optimise the benefits of server virtualisation with cost-effective high availability and disaster recovery. The iSCSI-based, scale-out storage platform is easy to manage and change – meeting ongoing business demands without creating IT bottlenecks or application downtime. Overcoming the cost and management limitations of traditional storage area networks (SANs), HPE StoreVirtual nodes use storage clustering to form a single pool of resources that enable organisations to buy only what they need today, scaling non-disruptively to meet requirements in the future.

    Springpath is the pioneer in hyperconvergence software, turning standard servers of choice into a single pool of compute and storage resources. The Springpath Data Platform eliminates the need for network storage and intuitively integrates into existing management tools to maximize operational efficiency. Using adaptive scaling capabilities, customers can grow compute, caching or capacity resources independently, depending on their changing business needs. Springpath proactively monitors your infrastructure to ensure resilient, always-on availability. Using data management and optimization capabilities, Springpath customers experience transformative levels of resource utilization, accelerating the adoption of DevOps in their organization with truly agile IT infrastructure.
