All-Flash Storage

The most valuable feature for me is that it deduces better, whereby it can be assigned six times the usable capacity, depending on the nature of the data. Especially for environments that store common data with de-commonality, like the Oracle databases, and have standard files across those spaces with efficient storage.
Two things really stand out for me. First, there's group cloning, which is very nice. It simplifies managing multiple clones across the group.
Second, Huawei's multi-controller architecture with load balancing is a good part. Unlike other storage systems that rely on active-passive or active-active controllers, which can experience downtime during maintenance, OceanStor Dorado supports more than two controllers, allowing for seamless maintenance without impacting I/O operations.
We even tested this by pulling out a controller during peak I/O time, and the system handled it flawlessly – no errors, no disruptions. That's simply unmatched in my experience.
The most valuable features of the solution are SmartMigration, HyperReplication, HyperSnap, HyperCopy, HyperClone, SmartPartition, and SmartCache.
We are using the solution for some banking customers in India, which requires high IOPS (input/output operations per second) and performance, low latency, and good redundancy. They use the solution's OLTP for daily transactions. The solution is working with high redundancy, high availability, and reliability.

The product has the best compression and encryption features. The most valuable features I have found in the tool are its performance and cost-effectiveness. While Huawei OceanStor Dorado may not always be chosen for its features compared to other brands like Dell, HPE, etc., it is often selected due to its affordability. Customers opt for Huawei OceanStor Dorado primarily because it offers similar performance features as other brands at a lower cost.
The tool's high availability design is achieved through several components and features. It typically comes with dual controllers and redundancy configuration. Customers can send data to another location, typically another data center, for real-time synchronization and replication.

We are a Huawei partner and we predominantly sell storage, hence we are looking at OceanProtect which competes with other products, like Dell Data Domain, NEC HYDRAstor, etc. Pricing is a significant factor, but everyone's pricing is really good, making it less of a differentiator.
View full review »Huawei has good pricing. It also has its SSD and NVMe hard drives. The company also develops its testing tools. It also has enough instances.

The OceanStor V3 5000 was, when we started, the first real NVMe all-flash storage solution. In NVMe, the performance was much more impressive to seek latency and that was unmatched. When we later sold our machine, the supplier did not have any in stock. Only later Dell was able to introduce PowerMax or IBM, and they introduced their new solution integrating the NVMe.
The other advantage is that HyperMetro functionality is app-specific to VMware or to the virtualized environment to have more reliability and higher capability. It is, therefore, possible to have all the data synchronized, using less storage. All the other features inside the system are very reliable and the installation time was shorter. We use less space for storage now - it decreased from two racks to only four units. That is really impressive.

The most valuable feature of this solution is the price to performance ratio. It is a very good price compared to other products and taking the performance into account, it is probably the best price-to-performance ratio on the market right now.
This solution is easy to manage and storage can be provisioned in a very easy way.
