Hitachi Universal Storage VM [EOL] vs VMAX [EOL] comparison

"The most valuable features are simplified provisioning and management, de-duplication, and built-in encryption."

"This solution had the best cost and it was easy to work with the Vendor."

"It is a high end storage, minimal downtime, reliable, good performance, get speedy support when we need."

"We have been able to present storage from the VMAX to hosts without any problems."

"VMAX is more scalable and has better performance (gives more IOPS, more front end ports...)."

"This product has enabled dynamic allocation of disk resources, and at the same time, improved the data access speed and application performance by a large extent."

"Furthermore, EMC support is second to none, EMC engineers will visit your site to replace a disk or component before you are even aware that there is a problem (via ESRS – see below)."

"The most valuable features are the interface and performance."

"Deploying, Expanding, and Modifying systems are easier than ever."

"VMAX3 is our main system for storage. All our systems and all our virtualizations are connected to it. In terms of expanding it, we are replacing it with a new system, the PowerMax 2000. So our current VMAX3 platform will be decommissioned soon. We are switching to PowerMax 2000 because we are looking for improved performance. We see it as the best fit for our requirements in terms of the performance and the overall cost."

"The exterior display needs to be improved."

"Better speed to release new features that have become industry standards. EMC created so many standards in the past. Now, it seems they are playing a me-too game and lagging behind in some areas, specifically data reduction."

"It is still expensive."

"Resilience replication, reporting, and performance need to be improved."

"I would like this solution to integrate the solution that Dell EMC vPlex offers."

"Stability and availability should be improved."

"The way you configure larger size volumes needs improvement."

"I'm always interested in ways we can scale out and avoid monolithic migrations from one array to another every four to five years."

"I would like to see support for high-availability."

"This solution has a good price-performance ratio."

"Our licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."

"There are additional costs to the standard licensing fee, and it just depends on the package."

"Our licensing fees are billed on a yearly basis."
