Storage & Virtualization Team Lead at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
Eliminated all the management around replication and it helps us to do the recovery better and easier
What is our primary use case?
This machine was being used in the DMZ area of the company. It was isolated. The external users were something around 4.5 million customers. I don't know if every one of them uses the machine, but this machine is the gateway to the website and host application. To install and do maintenance on this machine at this scale was a one person job. It was a storage admin for this use case. If I look only at that solution, it's not a full-time job. We increased the capacity of the solution one year after we initially bought it. Before I left my last job, one of the decisions I made was to change the… more »Pros and Cons
- "It's a state of the art solution in storage systems. High-availability and performance are the strongest aspects of these machines."
- "The user experience is pretty bad in Hitachi. A lot of mandatory tasks take a long time to work through."
What other advice do I have?
The Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F Series are real sturdy machines with high-performance capabilities. I didn't do a POC before choosing the solution, but I did go to visit several customers who already had similar solutions from the company. I talked to them and got an impression. If you have time for POC it will be better. In the government, it is not very often that we do a POC. They're very thin and human resources didn't have time. On a scale from one to 10, I would rate the product an eight for the management. The lack of management features on the product is very deflating. It's…

What is our primary use case?
We are a solution provider and I work with a lot of different SAN products, depending on the needs of the customers. we have implemented this solution, as well as the G series, for some of our clients. I have a project right now that involves revising and fine-tuning a storage network. This network contains two Hitatch VSP G Series units. There is not a major difference between the F Series and the G Series. Both of them are enterprise-scale and efficient for many data centers. It is used as primary storage in industries such as banking, automotive, health care, and insurance. Large companies… more »Pros and Cons
- "This is one of the most stable, high-end solutions in this area."
- "The interface should be simplified and made easier to use."
What other advice do I have?
Day to day, everything changes in the field of IT. I have done a lot of research on products such as this, and I have learned that we are going to have a lot more data in 2020. This huge amount of data means that you need the right platform for processing data quickly. More than before, we need a platform that can process large amounts of data in less than ten milliseconds. One such platform is the Hitachi VSP, with both good performance and availability. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Storage for large mainframes that has stability and sustainability
What is our primary use case?
The primary use case of this solution is for storage in some industries such as banking, automotive, healthcare, and insurance companies. It is for large companies or companies with a large mainframe such as an IBM mainframe. Our primary use case was for core banking.Pros and Cons
- "It is the most stable high-end solution in this area."
- "The installation procedure it a bit difficult, because it is a high-end solution. With this type of product, the original company is interested in doing the setup for customers in the area, but because of sanctions we were not able to get support in our area. We faced many issued trying to learn to run this product."
What other advice do I have?
The main functions in the G series and F series are the same, but if a customer is looking for high interoperability, then they should go for the F Series. It's an attractive solution with several special features. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.reviewer1302357

A resilient solution with good stability, reliability, performance, and security
What is our primary use case?
I am not an end user. I present the solution to customers. I study a customer's infrastructure and suggest a product based on the customer's needs, such as latency or IOPS performance. I usually work with VSP F700 and F900 models.Pros and Cons
- "Its resilience is the most valuable."
- "Hitachi should launch some small machines in Brazil. The smallest machine here in Brazil is VSP 350, which can be quite big for some of the customers. In China, Hitachi has small models of this equipment, but those models are not available in our region. Its pricing is a big issue for us. We are resellers, and we face some competition from other vendors. Hitachi doesn't always have a good position in terms of the price. Its user interface is also not as good as some of the other competitors, and it can be improved."
What other advice do I have?
I would rate Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform F Series an eight out of ten.

Detects bugs and it is very accurate and reliable
What is our primary use case?
Our primary use case of this solution is for bug detection.Pros and Cons
- "This is one of the most reliable and dependable products on the market."
- "In the next version I would like to see additional features like artificial intelligence and an increase in the amount of data it can store."
What other advice do I have?
The F series is a very accurate solution and it does what I want it to do. In the next version, I would like to see additional features like artificial intelligence and an increase in the amount of data it can store. The storage solution should be able to discover the internet force that is coming up so that you can discover them beforehand. The solution should be able to grab information from what the customer has been doing with the environment and then give the customer new solutions. On a scale of one to ten, my rating is eight.MehdiRezayi

Customers get one hundred percent availability and its firmware is very compatible
What is our primary use case?
Our primary use case of this solution is to monitor the use of products from other vendors. Its firmware is very compatible.Pros and Cons
- "I am happy about the storage system and availability."
- "In the next version I would like to see more intelligence."
What other advice do I have?
On a scale of one to ten, I rate this solution an eight. My advice to others who are trying to buy all-flash storage would be to go and take a look at the core storage products. I don't mean the hardware part, I mean the software part, in other words, the data protection layer. The storage layer is a broad layer. You have the main storage, you have the data protection of storage and you have the storage networking. All these layers matter and you will need something in the background on the data protection layer to be able to get the data at the other end.reviewer1458846
