Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Automatic rebalancing is the feature saving administration time.""Compared to other products in this category that are competing with Dell EMC, Dell seems to us to always come out on top.""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""We are using it as the primary virtualization storage (both for internal corporate users and external customers) for VMware and Hyper-V virtualization platforms."

"With StorPool we were able to build live failover on top of our LXC infrastructure. This allows us both to live-migrate containers between compute nodes without any downtime and, in case of an entire node suffering any type of failure, we can bring all containers back online within a minute on a spare compute node.""Creating snapshots within seconds for big disks has helped our different migration projects since it allows us to perform them in a short period of time.""The two 10GE networks provide redundancy and increased performance as they serve as two separate networks doubling the throughput and doing multipathing and load balancing. We now have a high performance shared storage system which enables us to run on private cloud. Our previous system used bare-metal hardware, which provided high performance but inflexible management. Now we have best of both worlds, SSD-class performance with flexibility of a private cloud system.""The team behind it was very engaged and had the skills and ability to support a service provider.""The speed of the storage solution also allows us to provide service to applications that are ​very I/O ​intensive.""Performance, redundancy, scalability and cost-effectiveness. StorPool delivers superbly in all of these areas."

Cons
"There is room for improvement in the area of horizontal scaling.""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.""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."

"At times we need to check the disks and do some minor operations. A friendlier user interface would be useful in such cases.""he only place we feel they could improve is the time it takes to bring new features to production.""I have personally met with multiple Storpool engineers and spoke about different options and features. There are too many features that we don't know or use yet. My recommendation would be to promote the new features and give users different examples of how they can be used and how we can benefit from them.""Monitoring and statistics UI is a bit clumsy.""It would be good if, with next releases, StorPool provide a better GUI for monitoring and statistics. This would make our experience even better and complete.""Live and historical performance statistics would be useful, though my understanding is that this is on the way in a future release."

    Overview

    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.

    StorPool is intelligent storage software that runs on standard servers and builds scalable, high-performance storage system out of these servers (software-defined storage). It focuses on the block-level storage and excels at it. It is incredibly flexible and can be deployed in both converged setups (on compute nodes, alongside VMs and applications) or on separate storage nodes.

    StorPool has advanced fully-distributed architecture and is arguably the fastest and most efficient block-storage software on the market today. It is the best storage system when building a cloud.
