Dell PowerFlex Initial Setup

Scott Yoshimura - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead Technical Product Manager at United Services Automobile Association

The initial setup of this solution is complex and requires a lot of maintenance. We use Dell and have internal resources to handle maintenance. If there was more tooling in services to facilitate workload management across the Dell infrastructure, that would really help.

The initial setup was not easy. The supplier or the seller that we had gone through helped us in setting things up. After setting up through them, however. the Day-2 operations were not so complicated.

Our engineers sometimes complain that it's quite complex and incongruent. You need to make sure of a lot of things. There's a lot of pre-planning that you need to do correctly. if you don't have the correct information, then you can have performance issues on your environment.

With one that we installed, the guys found out that some of the networking was not correct. It took us two weeks just to sort that one out from a networking point of view. Normally as soon as you deliver the stuff onto the customer's site and you have all the information, it can be between two to three weeks to deploy. You will get the customer up and running and he can start using it. However, you need to make sure that you have all the information.

The deployment was very straightforward. We have four team members who only focus on the environment, on Excel. The system admin also has three team members. Each one has a different area to look at; one for storage, one for virtualization itself, and the other one for the overall health of troubleshooting of the Excel environment. So, one chief and three supporting leads.

When you are setting this solution up in a test environment then it is straightforward. However, when you have to combine it with the customer's hardware then it can be tricky sometimes.

The deployment took about one month.
