Deployment was not complex, but the solution itself wasn't mature. They have provided the solution, which they have not tested in the multiple environment itself.
Deployment took around two to three months. There was a project team working with us. The hardware was applied very quickly. It wasn't very difficult, but the main structure, which was Golden Copy or the Atempo, took two to three months.

The product's initial setup phase was straightforward.
Most organizations don't have a single stack, and they opt for multiple or different stacks. The question arises related to the ease of management of hybrid technology stacks in an environment. Even if you have a very compelling proposition for a use case, the tool still needs to fit in with the overall enterprise architecture, and the way to ensure that the product fits in easily becomes an issue.
The solution is deployed on a multi-cloud and multi-storage environment.
I have not faced any challenges with the implementation part of the product.

The setup for us was pretty easy and pretty hands-off as we had outside assistance.
We implemented the solution a long time ago. I'm not sure how long the deployment itself took.
Normally, maintenance will be provided by Dell EMC. You call and then Dell EMC will do the upgrade and so on.

The initial setup is not so easy. However, we have the skills. We can contact Dell’s engineers for remote deployment. They provide a service called ProDeploy. It is an expensive option, so we prefer not to contact them. If something goes wrong, we can involve the engineers.

I didn't do the setup for Dell ECS, so I'm not aware of how easy or complex it is.

While the initial setup looks pretty straightforward, we didn't actually do the implementation.
There are things in the background that are running, of course, however in terms of maintenance requirements, it's not that much.

All storage is different. You need qualified people who understand storage to install it.

The solution's initial setup is not complex. It's very straightforward.
Our deployment was more than six years ago, however, from what I can recall, it took about two weeks to one month from beginning to end.
You only need two to three people for deployment and maintenance.

Dell's engineers helped us to initiate the system. It seems their local engineers were not very familiar with the equipment, so they needed support by telephone or by email from headquarters. It's not complex. It was easy to install and initialize in our cabinet.

Its installation is fine. The deployment duration varies based on the size and the number of deployments sites, but it has been pretty straightforward for me. Dell always provided good assistance.

The initial setup is relatively easy. You have to take care to do it properly but overall, it is fine. It should take a few hours to deploy.
