HPE StoreVirtual Reviews

The most valuable feature is the clustering. To be honest, this storage isn’t a particularly a good storage, but it offers basic storage services and easy clustering. I would say that if this storage were a school kid, many other storage solutions would bully it.

It needs support for clustering different disk nodes - nodes of different sizes.

We've used it for seven months.

We have had no issues with the deployment.

The failover is pretty slow, especially if you are using VMware storage.

It has scaled to our needs.

8-9/10

8-9/10

This was already in the company when I joined.

It’s kind of a primitive storage with limited options, so if someone has already worked with a proper storage solution, this won’t cause any headaches during the implementation. It's an easy click-click process after you have downloaded the management tool.

We did it in-house.

You shouldn't buy it, and get HP MSA or something similar.

It works great in a stretched datacenter. All data stored across two data centers is available.

If one datacenter fails, we can continue without failure.

It needs to have an SSD solution.

We used LeftHand for more than seven years before it became an HP solution.

We had no issues with the deployment.

We've had no stability issues.

It's better not to have big clusters or volumes, so we've avoided scaling it.

6.5/10 - We have a lot of experience and often they already know where the problem is.

We used LeftHand for block-based storage and other storage solutions for file storage.

The initial setup is very simple. Just think about your design with the management groups and clusters.

The ROI is fine.

The price per GB/TB is good.
