"This product has good performance."
"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
"Performance is excellent. In fact, it's so fast that we're not really even taxing it all that much."
"MetroCluster provides business continuity and is a critical part of our contingency setup."
"We have never had a failure. We can upgrade as we move along with zero downtime."
"AFF works well for VMware storage."
"Supports file formatting, the main protocols, and the hot swapping of disks and features."
"Performance. Mostly with our default settings it's good. All of the factory settings are fine. We don't have to tune it."
"The speed of data retrieval is the most valuable feature. We mostly use it for our SAP database and we are getting good IO from the hard drive."
"The benefits of being on AFF are the phenomenal speed at which we're able to ingest data and index it, and the IOPS."
"The response time for read requests can be improved."
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."
"We were migrating from Data ONTAP 7-Mode to its Cluster-Mode. Therefore, we had to get swing gear, then do the migration from loner gear and back onto our new gear. This was a bit difficult. It took us several months to do multiple migrations."
"The graphical interface is still heavy and slow. Needs more improvement in this area."
"The product should be more competitive and come up with additional features. They should keep the client always in mind and as the top priority. This would be the best way to compete with other solutions."
"During the initial setup, you need to know what you are doing."
"We have been seeing some challenges around the application layer implementation. We are having some teething problems now with the cooperation between the application layer and backups to things, like SnapCenter. This may be a question of product maturity."
"There are some bugs with the solution which need to be fixed."
"This is an expensive solution that could be cheaper."
"I would like it to be an IP as our network is mainly IP-based."
