Smart bays are also operational. However, the purchase and maintenance costs have become very excessive

For some customers, we used Nutanix. We switched to DataCore for an easier implementation.

No, we did not use a central storage solution before, however, we only used local hard disks of the ESXi.

I did not use a different solution previously.

No

We did use a different solution, however, DataCore brings us more comfort.

We did not previously use a different solution. We have been using this software for some time now.

We did use a different solution; at the time, DataCore was more modern than other competitors.

We used EMC SAN. We switch due to the fact that, at the time, there was not high availability on the EMC side and the management of the storage was simpler.

We used StoreAge SVM with Dothill storage systems. 

SANsymphony has more and better functions. The TCO is also better.

Sometimes some customers use other storage solutions, but whenever possible; I advise them to switch to DataCore

We previously used an HPE 3PAR storage array. We switched to have more performance and more flexibility. The maintenance is quite easier too.

We used Dell/EMC, VNX, and UNITY. We switched due to vendor lock-in, overpriced drives, or upgrades.

We previously used IBM Hyerswap and SVC. We had to switch due to the Vendor lock-in and poor flexibility.

We have always had DataCore as our Enterprise SAN.

No. This is my first time using software-defined storage.

We previously used Netapp Metro Cluster. We switched due to the costs for the infrastructure (Metro Cluster) were too high. The performance was also no longer sufficient. The solution was too inflexible.

Previously we had local storage on separate physical servers. DataCore seemed the ideal solution for our vSAN when moving to a virtualized environment in VMware.

The local storage was used before and we found that it was not flexible enough.

No, we have only used DataCore SANsymphony as SDS.

No, we did not.

HP EVA4400.

Yes - We had a mix of various, black-box, type SANs (Dell, HP, Lefthand, DottHill, and EMC to name a few).  We switched to standardize the storage across the enterprise, maintain VMware supported storage, reduce costs, and add flexibility.

We did not have another SDS solution before this one.

No, we did not.

This is our first solution in the world of the hyperconvergence.

We used the IBM SAN Volume Controller and switched to DataCore. In our case, it was possible to use less hardware and get more performance.

We used Dell EMC and NetApp storage before.

The price and performance of DataCore helped us to change our storage.

I did not use another solution, this it is first one.
