Pricing and Cost Advice | |
Information Not Available | The scalability is pretty good, but it's too expensive. The price, compared to competitors, is quite high. Cost effective storage for all performance levels (including all-flash). The only area that could be improved is to lower prices for their All Flash FAS. The price it not low, but comparing features to other vendors, the price can be balanced. There are products available in market with comparatively lower costs. Most storage vendors also have software, or licensing bundles, which may offer the required licenses considerably cheaper, but do also maybe offer licenses, which are not needed. The process for going to cluster mode is expensive. |
