I work as a system integrator in an organization where we use SAP. My company takes care of the implementation part of SAP infrastructure for our customers. I would recommend to those planning to use IBM System Storage DS5000 Series that they also need to consider the other products in the market before making a decision. I rate the overall product a seven out of ten.
I suggest looking for the latest version of this solution. The solution is reliable. It only has a limitation with the storage. When we reach the maximum storage, we need to replace the system. We cannot take a standard one. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.
I would rate the tool a nine out of ten. We prefer IBM because of its good features. It can visualize a non-IBM solution which is one of its unique features.
In summary, this is a good product. They have also added some extra security features, and we like them very much. As an example, we didn't ask for it, but they implemented a helpful feature to fight against ransomware. This adding of features is quite nice. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We aren't partners with IBM. We don't have a business relationship. We're just customers. I'd advise others that there are a lot of solutions available on the market. IBM is not their only option. Overall, it's a great, robust solution. I'd rate it, on a scale from one to ten, at an eight.
Currently, we don't sell IBM products, although I've worked with IBM via clients. The customer is still working with the storage. I have experienced full replacements with it. The customer had a problem with it and they had to replace the controller. I prefer HPE 3PAR for managing. 3PAR has many specifications on the storage web console. You can do anything and analyze everything from there. With IBM you must know the system quite well. You must have some experience in order to use it effectively. On a scale from one to ten, I'd rate this solution at a seven. If they improved the usability by adding instructions into the console, I'd probably rate them a nine.

It is very strong in block storage for the database environment. It has very good quality because the compression, deduplication, and encryption are directly done by the disks, so there is no penalty on the processes of all controllers. If you need a platform that is oriented towards block storage and has features like multi-protocol, cloud integration, and so on, I don't think this is the best solution. It doesn't have direct NAS protocols or things like this. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten, specifically for the needs of block storage. Its performance is very good, which is the biggest asset of this solution. However, it doesn't provide enough services, which probably solutions like NetApp or Dell are providing.
What is a Modular SAN (Storage Area Network)? A modular SAN solution focuses on an agile, scalable, robust architecture that can be deployed quickly and easily and that is cost-effective without causing any compromise in speed or performance. There are many modular SAN solutions on the market today that can fit the needs of any business - small, medium, or large.
When evaluating modular storage area networks, the PeerSpot users emphasized several key components. First and...
