We performed a comparison between Huawei OceanStor and Pavilion HyperParallel Flash Array based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."Their REST API is wonderful, well-documented, and easy to use."
"Pure Storage technology allowed us to automate tasks, reducing something which started as a 12-hour turnaround down to about 15 minutes."
"We've had to use tech support on a number of occasions. They did everything remotely and talked us all the way through. They fixed the issue within 30 minutes. Every single time we contact them, they're perfect. I would give their technical support a ten out of ten."
"The amount of throughput that we're getting is really nice."
"We like the data reduction rates. That has been really helpful. You get 4U of Pure storage replacing something like two racks of spinning disks. One of the things that has contributed to that are the data reduction rates."
"Has also helped simplify storage for us. The other person we put in there, took about a week to implement. And we had both arrays set up within around four hours with a thirty minute drive time between the two locations."
"Processes that used to take 40 minutes to two hours can be completed in five minutes."
"The speed is one of the most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray."
"The most valuable feature is the flexibility in the rail, as it is hybrid storage."
"The solution is scalable."
"The solution works well for non-critical applications that do not require a heavy workload. The tool's all features are valuable."
"Huawei OceanStor is easy to manage."
"Huawei OceanStor is stable."
"It is a highly available product."
"Stability: The product is designed to have always HA (High Availability) with redundant network and processors."
"The performance and ease of management are the most valuable features."
"The high performance is very valuable, as well as the enterprise reliability features."
"We have been able to consolidate storage into Pavilion. Pavilions are our only SANs because it is a bring your own disk solution. When new drives come out, we are able to take out half of the drives in the system, put in new drives, move our VMs over to the new drives, take the other drives out, and populate those with new drives. Then, we are suddenly twice as dense as we were before. NVMe flash is only going to get denser and cheaper so we can make use of that every couple of years by just throwing newer disks into it at a fraction of the cost of a new SAN."
"There's lots of flexibility in how we use the resources while also maintaining a small footprint."
"I would like to have an easy way to determine the cost per VM so that I can present a solution to our customers."
"It is not possible to create a cluster on top of multiple arrays."
"It goes at about 95 percent, so we have had some performance issues. It is hard to clear them."
"The primary drawback is the cost, which can be prohibitive for small configurations."
"In some cases, we get into very in-depth conversations around movement of specific data and, what's more, chunk sizes. The documentation lacked any description or information on that."
"The number of Filesystems is limited, which it is not on the EMC VNX."
"Going forward, don't complicate things for the customers."
"In the next release of this solution, we would like to see automated copy data management for SQL Server."
"The main concern is regarding the usability of the data storage."
"Huawei OceanStor should work on its saturation level and should be able to take up more load. It should give the same performance that it gives at 20 or 30 percent load for 80 percent as well."
"The product must improve the local technical support in China."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"Huawei is not that cheap."
"The duration of the built-in snapshot technology must be improved."
"Its storage capacity could be better."
"The overall price of the solution should be reduced."
"I would like to see the management layer improved."
"The rail system that Pavilion uses to mount up into a standard Dell or APC cabinet extends further back than normal rails, and they cover up the zero PDU slot. So, I don't like the rail system that comes with the device. That is my biggest complaint."
"In our current configuration, we can only run the line controllers in high availability, active-standby mode, whereas we would like to see active-active implemented."
