I like the tool's snapshot backup and flash storage features. 

Speed and reliability: This system hosts several mission-critical, latency-sensitive workloads and XtremIO has delivered on those promises.

The Metro clustering and solid-state performance, are the most valuable features of this solution.

The feature I like most about Dell Xtremio is its hardware quality compared to other vendors. It's clear they're continuously improving their research and development. Deployment is quick and easy compared to other vendors, saving us time. Updates and support are also hassle-free. Data reduction technology has helped cut storage costs and increase efficiency. So far, Dell Xtremio has been reliable with no downtime or issues.

A valuable feature of XtremIO is that, in terms of administration, it's simple and manageable. 

The most valuable feature of Dell EMC XtremIO is the data protection (DP) group, it is one of the most advanced features in these types of arrays. The dedupe and compression that this array provides both do a superb job.

Ease of management, aside from the serious performance, is the best feature. We can set it and forget it. We can quickly see performance stats in case there is ever any question.

• Speed – All Flash makes this array very extremely responsive to virtually all workloads, besting all of our spindle-based arrays by a large margin
• Linear performance – The XtremIO wasn’t the fastest in all tests against other all flash arrays, but even with a massive workload, the response time and user experience were absolutely predictable with no sharp drop-offs.
• Administration simplicity – The GUI is very intuitive and simple to use. Other vendors should take note.
• Excellent deduplication – An excellent feature and strength of the product. Inline dedupe gives you about as real-time on dedupe stats as you can get.

• Low latency
• High I/O
• Large bandwidth
• Helps my SAN perform at a high rate

Data services: Deduplication and Compression. XtremIO performs both these data efficiencies in-line with no latency cost to the hosts. Also the APIs, using APIs you can provision an entire ESXi cluster using PowerShell and VC credentials within a few minutes.

Snapshots, deduplication, compression – We are using the XtremIO for multi-version databases, in this respect being able to snapshot a database consistency group to create DEV/UAT versions while utilizing deduplication/thin provisioning/compression allows us to maintain the numerous copies of each database we need. To go along with that, being able to refresh any snapshot set with the contents of any other snapshot set (in the same lineage) allowed us to reduce our refresh times from hours to minutes.

• Integrated Copy Data Management (iCDM): It allows instant creation of high performance copies by accelerating the environmental testing with no need for redoing builds. A duplicate copy can be spawned up for DEV- trunk/ Integration/Test with QA.

• Virtual Desktop infrastructure (VDI): Where one consolidated infrastructure that leverages off resources can act as a baseline and be locked down with a secure image to all call center agents.
• Rapid Inline Deduplication/ Compression: Helps capacity planning to reduce the amount of SAN needed. Prevents the deduplication of the same data. This can allow ratios of 2:1, or even as high as 7:1, depending upon what data subsets are used.

Its consistent speed and replication features are most valuable to us. It provides a better user experience and replication for DR purposes.

• Speed of operation: We had several SQL databases that pounded EMC CX4-480 and EMC VMAX 20K.
• XtremeIO handles the flow well, running on the controller memory, rather than straight to the drives.

The speed is extremely valuable. It is blazing fast. The inline deduplication is amazing and the snapshot capability is very useful.

• Dedupe, because we achieve 3.5X space savings with XtremIO
• Snapshot copies
• Ease of use
• Improvement in storage efficiency without compromising on performance

Dedupe, compression and high I/O are the most valuable features. It is great for applications like Microsoft Exchange, ERP, SQL and VDI; basically saved the VDI buy-in from users, as now performance was seamless in comparison to a physical PC.

The data reduction (deduplication and compression) is the most valuable feature in our business case.

We calculated a reduction ratio of 3:1 to get a positive case, and we actually reached a little bit higher (3,1:1). This makes our business case even better.

Even with this feature, the response time is far below what we received with our other storage arrays.

Another valuable feature is the guaranteed sub-millisecond response time for a 4K block.

Compression and de-duplication are the most valuable features, especially when compared to other All-flash arrays like Solidfire, Violin Memory or Pure Storage.

It has very good performance for an application which needs lower latency and a better response, for example, in microseconds. It's very easy to use in terms of administrative tasks on the GUI.

What I like about this solution, is that it is really fast and it's really good in compression. So you can put a lot of data in line on it. I've used it for cases like VDI in a healthcare environment because we use multiple copies of it. It is very good and has very good performance. It can handle big workloads. 

• Deduplication
• High I/O capacity
• Thin storage allocation
• Snapshot cost and speed

Performance and deduplication. This is a very robust block storage option that offers both performance and data optimization.

It is great when a product can deliver high-end performance capabilities while offering a very competitive price point.

• I/O performance and low latency
• Deduplication and cloning capability

None of the features are valuable for us. The product is poorly designed and not reliable. It performed well when it did work.

Compression and deduplication are valuable because they help reduce the storage footprint required for our customer’s environments.

Snapshots are valuable because of their seamless nature, as well as the minimal space each snapshot takes.

Dell XtremIO is good for databases and huge workloads.

It's a great solution. We have 100% high availability and 100% business continuity. All our banking is All-Flash behind the VPLEX. 

We've seen great enhancements from the performance point of view. There's good availability, stability, and continuity, but the performance actually has increased by 60 or 70%.

The solution's most valuable features are the inline data reduction and deduplication.

Xtrem10's features are more simple to implement. The integration and interface are also good.

The solution's most valuable feature is its high performance.

Newer version V6 (XtremIO Data Protection XDP) increases performance with built-in data protection.

Improved density with ability to scale out to eight X-Bricks if necessary / more density on capacity.

In memory Space / Efficient Copies.

XtremIO’s capability to run any workload without much in the way of design considerations makes this very easy to use and size. The configuration of the product is simple, as is creating and presenting volumes.

The snapshot capabilities, that hardly consume any disk space, are also impressive.

Flash array with deduplication and compression.

• Very good IOPS performance
• Thin-provisioning and deduplication savings
• Natively thin-provisioned

I like the deduplication and auto-tiering features.

I appreciate its ease of use and simplicity. The device is painless to configure and has great deduplication and compression rates.

The most valuable features are:

• Complete performance
• Ease of use

The most valuable features are data compression and in-line deduplication. 

The performance is good, which is important.

The most valuable features are that it is fast and reliable.
