Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Pure Storage and others in All-Flash Storage."The stability is very good. I've done destructive testing on it and never had any type of storage outages from it."
"I like its speed. It has all the features that I need."
"It reduces space and the polar consumption. It also accelerates the application."
"The first year, we started out with one or five terabytes and it took what was 20 terabytes of storage down to less than one terabyte."
"The most valuable feature of the Pure Storage Flash Array is the blazing fast monitoring."
"It has been very stable. I have not seen or heard of downtime storage issues after moving over to it."
"The solution is very reliable."
"The most valuable feature is its upgradeability."
"The support is excellent."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the availability."
"It is easy to use, deploy, communicate and manage this solution."
"The solution is easy to scale as needed."
"The most valuable feature of Huawei OceanStor is the hybrid applications."
"Great value for money."
"Generally stable with good technical support."
"This is an all-flash storage array. It is the best solution for large batch processing. There are some customer databases that have tens of millions of records in one large database. That's where VIOLIN performs the best. VIOLIN stands out for million of IOPS with ultra-low latency. VIOLIN can provide about two million IOPS in a 3U unit. We have a latency of less than one millisecond."
"I would like a feature to integrate with external or cloud solutions. For example, if I want to use this storage for a backup from the cloud, I want to have integration with the cloud vendors, such as Microsoft, Oracles, or Amazon. It could be available as an API to allow seamless integration. Additionally, the solution could improve by having native integration with a cloud provider, such as VMware or Microsoft, this would reduce the need to use third-party solutions to complete the task."
"I would like to see data tiering to AWS."
"We would like to see more development on their Copy Automation Tool (CAT) for Oracle, as well as better integration for our customers running Oracle VM."
"The scalability of the solution is not as good as it probably could be."
"It would be good to have metrics of the box's performance so we can see what it delivers, but currently, I can't see what it's actually doing."
"I would like the ability to swap out the network adapters into it. So, without taking out the whole controller, I would like to be able to swap adapters. This would make things easier."
"It goes at about 95 percent, so we have had some performance issues. It is hard to clear them."
"Self-backup is the only feature lacking in this solution."
"The solution could improve by having better integration."
"The technical support has been a let down for us. It's something the company has to work on. We haven't been satisfied with their level of service."
"The upgrading process needs improvement. Deploy it and notify the customers when new versions and stuff comes out. I don't think they're doing that well."
"I would like to see the next generation all-flash, which could be combined."
"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 tool's performance is slow for DBs. We plan to move from Huawei OceanStor to Pure Storage. Its customer service is not good."
"We did experience a little latency with this solution."
"In the future release, Huawei OceanStor should improve on what they already have. It is a good solution."
"Its overall usability can be improved. It takes some time to know small things here and there to make sure it is working properly."
