Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The technical support team is excellent.""It's very easy to upgrade storage.""The price tag is good compared to the amount of data and high availability provided."

More Red Hat Gluster Storage Pros →

"We are using it as the primary virtualization storage (both for internal corporate users and external customers) for VMware and Hyper-V virtualization platforms.""They know how to clearly present any important data, including data flow and each drive's IOPS/bandwidth; and allow the user to easily monitor bottlenecks and problems""Compared to other products in this category that are competing with Dell EMC, Dell seems to us to always come out on top.""Automatic rebalancing is the feature saving administration time."

More ScaleIO [EOL] Pros →

Cons
"The performance of the solution must be improved.""The user interface could be simplified.""The system should be more intuitive and easier to manage."

More Red Hat Gluster Storage Cons →

"If they could introduce a write cache feature, the product would be perfect overall.""It would be nice to set minimum IOPS per volume, besides just the maximum, to be able to satisfy this demand from customers out-of-the-box, not by calculating number of disks, etc.""Ecosystem around the product: There is no built-in system for viewing history data, such as volume IOPS. We have to provide graphing by Prometheus and Grafana, which would be a good new feature in ScaleIO.""There is room for improvement in the area of horizontal scaling."

    Overview

    Red Hat Gluster Storage (formerly known as Red Hat Storage Server) is a software-defined storage (SDS) platform designed to handle the requirements of traditional file storage—high-capacity tasks like backup and archival as well as high-performance tasks of analytics and virtualization. But unlike traditional storage systems, Red Hat Gluster Storage isn’t rigid and expensive. It easily scales across bare metal, virtual, container, and cloud deployments.

    ScaleIO is purposely designed to be an enterprise-grade scale-out software-defined storage solution. It applies the principles of server virtualization to standard x86 server flash and hybrid media, turning them into high performance, sharable, pools of storage. Whether your block storage needs are for traditional, modern or cloud workloads, ScaleIO has you covered.
