We performed a comparison between Huawei OceanStor 9000 and IBM FlashSystem based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Nasuni and others in NAS."The storage capacity is really one of the most valuable features. Also, the GUI is very friendly and the switches gives high performance. The technology used in storage is RAID which as helped us a lot to expand and store various items ."
"It has many options for scalability, and it is stable."
"The most valuable features were the performance of the array, i.e., very low latency and high IOPS. Plus, the management interface is very easy to use."
"IBM FlashSystem has been stable in our operations."
"The most valuable feature is that is supports a high IOPS rate."
"The most valuable features are deduplication and compression."
"No queuing and high ops, speed, and performance."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's very easy to use and configure. It used to be more difficult, but now it's almost flawless."
"The most valuable features are flexibility and performance."
"The initial setup was really straightforward. It was not complex. Deployment took one month, due to the data migration duration."
"The handling of data deletion and bulk servers setup could have been more straightforward and easier when dealing with data removal or setting up servers. I believe Huawei could enhance their solutions, especially managing storage, to provide a better experience for customers."
"The call charges and the management cost should be more friendly. They can also include monitoring and management."
"This solution needs a management console where we are alerted to issues and can report them, or escalate them through email or another method."
"Our model does not support compression or deduplication."
"We had issues when attempting to do a flash, we hope to resolve it soon."
"The only issue my team faced was transferring the data from the old system to IBM FlashSystem, which is an area for improvement in the solution."
"The Data Reduction Pools (DRP) support could be better."
"The pricing could be improved, but I think it's getting better and better with each version. IBM needs to implement NAS storage again, as this is a big flaw. Dell EMC is very good at this and if you compared them based on NAS storage, Dell EMC would win right away. IBM's solution for NAS storage is very complicated. We don't have a storage box that provides file sharing from itself, we have to put software on it and go through a whole complicated process. It should be simplified."
"Product support is restricted to IBM only. It must be decentralized to IBM partners as well."
"The deduplication and compression ratio is not very good. It's not reaching a very high ratio."
