Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It's easy to use, and the maintenance upgrades to get free controllers work really well.""I like FlashArray's ActiveCluster as well as its snapshot and cloning capabilities.""The solution is very reliable.""The most valuable feature is that maintenance is free.""We like the speed. It's very low latency. In virtualization, you can mask lots of problems, and even in code you can mask lots of problems, with low latency. It's just pure speed and low latency.""The initial setup was really straight forward.""The mobile app is very helpful.""Cost, racial per terabyte, and speed is why we chose PureStorage. It was no brainer."

"The setup and the price are the most valuable and not the features related.""The initial setup was straightforward.""Huawei OceanStor is stable.""The most valuable feature is the availability.""It is easy to use, deploy, communicate and manage this solution.""Huawei OceanStor is easy to manage.""Huawei OceanStor is a good product. Its interface is very simple. The complexities we encounter with recovery points are gone. We just attach to remote storage, click the application, and it starts.""OceanStor is cheaper than Dell EMC, and its management interface is quite simple."

More Huawei OceanStor Pros →

"The Reduxio unit is superior in its ability to recover from any second.""I like the performance. I think it's what you call a hybrid SAN. It has solid state drives and, of course, regular optical drives, which would make performance a lot better, faster.""It has improved our backup and recovery window, because you can have two Reduxio machines linked up, so every block that changes on the primary storage array gets replicated to the secondary storage array. If one side or the other goes bad, you just recover from the other side.""​​The machine has been easy to use.​""The HTML5 UI is clean, easy to navigate, and very intuitive.""Reduxio offers a very simple, elegant user interface (design) to manage it.""The unit has been running at 100% without an issue.""Immediate data recovery: critical to business continuity in an age of unknown cyber threats."

Cons
"If we suddenly dump large amounts of data onto the storage system, it takes a while to process it.""I would like to see data tiering to AWS.""I can't see where they can make anything better, unless, of course, they lower their prices even more.""Currently, the solution fails to support file screening.""It was a little costly. The price was ultimately higher than both of the other solutions that we evaluated. I'd say that's the only downside.""I would like some form of QoS implemented. As a service provider, it would be beneficial to have it.""As partners, we should have the option to download the software, rather than have to go back through Pure to obtain it.""They are doing some stuff with containers and an object search. These could be improved, because containers is one of the main topics that we are talking with our customers about."

More Pure Storage FlashArray Cons →

"Its storage capacity could be better.""The main concern is regarding the usability of the data storage.""The speed has room for improvement.""Integration with mainstream solution technologies could be better.""The overall price of the solution should be reduced.""The product must improve the local technical support in China.""The tool's performance is slow for DBs. We plan to move from Huawei OceanStor to Pure Storage. Its customer service is not good.""In the future release, Huawei OceanStor should improve on what they already have. It is a good solution."

More Huawei OceanStor Cons →

"The ability to look at data at a file level would be useful, as well as the ability recover at that level. Right now, you can only recover whole volumes.""It would be nice feature if the GUI had an option to export the current unit configuration to a file or an email recipient. In case of a disaster, this way it would be quicker to get a replacement unit up and running again.""It would be helpful to have the ability to recover virtual machines individually without having to restore the full LUN.""I am waiting for the vSphere Plug-In with individual VM level control.""Needs to be made easier to use with slightly older versions of VMware.""Maybe it should come in stainless steel, just like its DeLorean time machine predecessor.""We had a single failure of the device but believe that it was tied to the server losing contact with our NTP server due to DNS issues. As Reduxio is very time-dependent, losing sync made the entire array unstable.""The only thing that I would point out would be the basic administration management of the machine. Everything has rights, meaning that there's either all control or no delegated control. So to sum that up, it would be a feature request for delegated management in the administrative console."

    Overview

    Pure Storage FlashArray is the world’s first enterprise-class storage array that runs exclusively on the nonvolatile memory express (NVMe) protocol for memory access and storage. It represents a totally state-of-the-art type of storage technology. It offers users shared accelerated storage that delivers cutting-edge features in the realms of performance, simplicity, and consolidation. Pure Storage is fresh and modern today and will be for the next decade. Without forklift upgrades or planned downtime, Pure Storage takes the work out of storage ownership and delivers unprecedented customer satisfaction.

    Pure Storage FlashArray is built with simplicity and reliability in mind. The solution can be implemented and optimized in hours, as opposed to other similar solutions that can take days. It has no moving parts, which removes areas where it could potentially be vulnerable to suffering errors. It is highly stable and gives users the ability to manage system shutdowns in a way that  prevents data loss.

    Benefits of Pure Storage FlashArray

    Some of the benefits of using Pure Storage FlashArray include:

    • A much higher level of speed than similar pieces of technology. Pure Storage FlashArray maximizes the speed at which data can be transferred while at the same time minimizing system latencies that might slow the transfer down. Additionally, it offers users quick memory read and data access speeds.

    • A higher bang for your buck in terms of the storage capabilities you get for the money you pay. They are smaller in size than more standard storage technologies, but they offer flash memory, which enables users to store larger amounts of data than the current standard.

    Reviews from Real Users

    Pure Storage FlashArray is a highly effective piece of storage technology which stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. Two major ones are its overall robustness and the value that it offers by way of its reliability and ease of use. It provides users with many valuable features that allow them to maximize what they can do with this solution. Pure Storage FlashArray’s reliability and ease of use make it a highly valuable solution. 

    PeerSpot user Prabakaran K., a technical consultant at Injazat Data Systems, notes the robustness of this solution when he writes, "FlashArray has many valuable features. It's very user-friendly and it has high availability, so there is comparatively less downtime. During maintenance, there is no shutdown procedure, so you can directly power off the Array and manage the shutdown process without any data loss, which is a unique feature. Managing replication and data migration is also very easy."

    PeerSpot user Jason D., a cloud solutions architect at a tech services company, notes three features that make this solution valuable when he writes, "We've had different types of storage, and three things of this solution are valuable. The first one is its outstanding performance. The second one is its stability. In the about three years that we've had it, we've had component failures, but we never had a service interruption or any data loss. The third one, which is really critical, is that it is super easy to use in terms of provisioning, storage, and managing the arrays. I'm able to maintain a multi-site environment with a couple of dozen arrays with a single mid-level storage admin."

    OceanStor Dorado V3 is the industry's first all-flash storage that puts NVMe into commercial use. It is specially designed for enterprises' mission-critical businesses, meeting the most-demanding performance and reliability requirements of databases, VDI, server virtualization, and SAP HANA.

    Reduxio's HX550 flash hybrid storage arrays, based on Reduxio's TimeOS storage operating system allow you to recover application data to any second in the past, eliminates most of the complexity associated with managing storage, and provides exceptional performance and efficiency, far exceeding anything available today.
