It's been easy from an upgrade perspective and maintenance.

Valuable Features: We like the wire once approach. We've had to do very little maintenance on the backend connectivity components.

HPE StoreVirtual

Hewlett Packard Enterprise

Edward Haletky

President at a tech consulting company with 51-200 employees

Two StoreVirtual VSAs provide redundancy and resilience, 3 would be better.

Valuable Features: The HPE StoreVirtual Network RAID-10 (mirroring between nodes) is the most valuable feature. This allows for multi-node redundancy. If one node fails, the other in the cluster picks up the entire load. I have had nodes fail due to upgrade and other issues with no loss of... more »

HPE StoreVirtual

Hewlett Packard Enterprise

Donovan Bagley

Network Engineer at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees

It had shelf-level redundancy before others, is intuitive, and you install the fat client on Windows.

Valuable Features: Shelf level-redundancy is one of the big things that StoreVirtual has had before some other SAN manufacturer or SAN model brands, which is pretty nice. It can be rather expensive because you are much less efficient when you have that redundancy, but it's definitely a benefit... more »

That allowed us to migrate away from traditional NAS with a cost effective solution whose architecture is both scalable for the future and able to... more »

Valuable Features: Seamless backup, quick deployment. • Room for Improvement: SimpliVity requires an arbiter to be installed on a non-virtualized (or at least on non-SimpliVity virtualized) storage. This means you can not totally virtualize your environment on SimpliVity. I would like to... more »
