Sowjanya MV

Technical Lead at Wipro Limited

Has improved performance for mission-critical workloads and enabled seamless non-disruptive upgrades

The availability is 99.99%, which is the main factor any customer would need because their data should be available whenever they want to access it. This is one main critical thing. It is very easy to upgrade since Pure Storage FlashArray handles it well. Everything is non-disruptive now; previously, there were forklift shifts, but now that is not the case. Pure Storage FlashArray says no to forklift upgrades. Usually hardware requires downtime, but Pure Storage FlashArray has improved their footprint so that they are not asking for downtime; everything is just a non-disruptive activity, which is why customers are more inclined towards Pure Storage FlashArray. Customers want more of the models in their environment due to the performance they are giving, and everything is in one Pure1 Array console where we can view all the models on one page or just an orchestration tool. You don't miss anything; you have replication, notifications about replication, and details about which host groups replication is happening in and if that replication is successful or failed. On a daily basis, our purpose is to create volumes for infrastructure; our daily activities include creating volumes and mapping them to the host, doing any migrations from a VM, clearing the data stores, and carving the volumes to those VMs. One key factor is the data compression with a ratio of 5:1, focusing on space efficiency, inline deduplication, and the compression Pure Storage FlashArray works on; that is a major factor we can suggest to any customer. Analytical capabilities are crucial. Daily, we check the throughput and consumption, and Pure Storage FlashArray provides predictions for one year regarding usage. This prediction helps plan updates well ahead. For support, we just raise a case, and they follow up and get it done. There is also AI readiness, but with the model R2, we don't have much of that AI readiness. For others, we do have AI readiness that predicts capacity based on daily or monthly trends, enabling us to analyze how much space we need or if we need to expand the disk shelf. From an operational point of view, a good feature is that if you accidentally delete a volume, it will be retained in the destroyed state for the next twenty-four hours, which is not the same with any other vendor. I have worked in this storage domain for the past fifteen years, and this option is remarkable, benefiting any L1 or L2 engineer. Additionally, from a compliance perspective, Pure Storage FlashArray has REST APIs enabled. I have not explored automation much, but from a security standpoint, it is strong with encryption data. If you want to automate, you can easily integrate with all clouds and explore Pure Cloud for scheduling workloads, including volume creation. Customers find benefit in Pure Storage FlashArray's single management pane of glass due to the dual controller and active-active setup. If one of the controllers goes down, all workloads automatically shift to the other controller, ensuring their data is safe and accessible at all times. This is a highlighted feature that any customer desires because their data should always be accessible. For SAN workloads, we use Pure Storage FlashArray because for SAN FC fiber channel, we don't use it; we use NetApp for NAS activities. We have clearly split this, so SAN is for mission-critical applications, while network-attached storage handles file systems. This architecture helps us maximize the benefit from Pure Storage FlashArray due to the significant workloads from this giant retail client. From a footprint and energy consumption perspective, you can see energy consumption from the Pure1 storage portal on a daily basis, and it is very compact. The three models we use consume only three units, which is quite low. From a footprint and data center perspective, it doesn't occupy much space. As everything moves to cloud, there are requirements to avoid excess spending on data centers, and Pure Storage FlashArray is efficient in energy consumption and is environmentally friendly.

Reliable and secure storage solution supports core banking operations effectively

The replication technology that Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform uses is quite older, and the replication methodology they employ for data between the data center and the production and standby database shows no significant improvement in that particular field. With respect to storage administration, I'd like to see more clarity on the encryption side; data being stored in an encrypted manner is essential, but the customer or end-user doesn't understand which encryption is being used and doesn't have a direct view stating that their data is encrypted using AES 256 or DES, or whatever standard they follow. This lack of transparency may not be acceptable during audits.

Point-in-time restore capabilities are built into the storage appliance

Our first impression when we were introduced to the product was very good. I still think it's very good. They are truly different. The whole product is based on point-in-time restore capabilities built into their storage appliance, and no one else I know does that. I'd rate it a 10 out of 10 because it does everything that we have asked it to do.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I can personally state that the Pure Storage Flash Systems are the best built and Pure has the utmost professional customer care."

"All our junior partners can administer the storage arrays. It is simple and easy to use. We don't have to dedicate a whole team of full time people to work on it."

"It helps to simplify storage. For most of our customers, when they move to Pure Storage, storage becomes an afterthought."

"We have tons of capacity on it."

"Scalability is one of the best features. You can quickly add more. You can swap out the drives with larger sizes, you can add more shelves. All of that is perfect - the whole concept of keeping it modular..."

"I recommend this solution for production because it has good performance and capacity management."

"Pure support is very proactive, they monitor our infrastructure in real-time, so they respond before we even open a ticket."

"The all-flash disc is the most valuable feature of this solution."

More Everpure FlashArray pros

"The product provides a good storage space."

"The product has great data storage performance with a 100% data security and availability guarantee."

"It is very flexible, and it is very useful when you want to virtualize different storage from different vendors."

"The most valuable feature is that you can use it with all deployment models."

"We use this product for everything; it's a maximum workload, handling virtual workloads, databases, applications, centralized workflows, Hadoop, and Big Data."

"The most valuable feature is that it has 'eight nines' availability, 99.999999 percent of the time. That is the main selling point."

"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"The efficiency ratio is just as high as advertised; it's very high relative to other storage solutions as well, and the compression and deduplication capabilities are also very high."

More Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform pros

"In terms of deployment and also data storage, the deduplication ability of it has reduced that footprint."

"In terms of ease of use, the GUI is quite amazing and seems to be taken from a computer game. Literally within 30 minutes, we had learned almost everything there is on the management UI and started managing the device."

"We like the way the Reduxio is designed, the way the managing/operating end is just so much easier; fewer steps, more intuitive steps. It has a number of features baked into it that, in other products, are additional licensed components, like compression and dedupe."

"The Reduxio TimeOS has been an amazing solution with far reaching implications."

"Write latency is averaging way under a millisecond."

"The pre-processing dedupe engine they have instead of post-processing."

"I have an every second undo button for all my applications. I call Reduxio "the ransomware killer"."

"Ease of user interface: prevents distractions and confusion when dealing with real-time catastrophes and high-pressure situations. Overall, it extremely easy to use. My team was trained within less than two hours."

More Reduxio [EOL] pros

Cons

"The product should improve its response time. I have also encountered issues with its configuration."

"I would like to see some improvements on the FlashBlade side around the CIFS space support. I am not super familiar with all the different NAS protocols that they run on their box, but there could be some improvements made on SMB CIFS side."

"We have not seen a reduction in our TCO nor have we seen ROI."

"It doesn’t provide enough information on performance analytics. For example, Nimble Storage has Infosight, which provides data; Pure Storage doesn’t have an equivalent."

"The primary drawback is the cost, which can be prohibitive for small configurations."

"The overall scalability for this product could be improved as well as having a single console to management multiple arrays."

"The price of Pure Storage FlashArray could be better."

"The scalability of the solution is extremely costly."

More Everpure FlashArray cons

"Pricing could be better because the cost is very high."

"This solution is equipped with virtualization technology inside the storage box. Other companies like TMS have virtual technology outside of their storage boxes."

"For the support windows to work, maybe they have to upgrade the firmware of the VSP."

"The embedded management for installation feature has neither simplified nor complicated the management process, therefore, there is room for improvement."

"We moved away from this product because we were looking for an all-flash solution, and with our G1500 at the time, perhaps two years ago, they were just proposing more of the same technology."

"At the moment, I don't see any room for improvement in Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series because my experience with the product is very good. The software is okay and you can manage the storage well. What I'd like to see in the next release of Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series is for it to be a real NAS solution because right now, you need to use a Hitachi converter called HNAS which makes the process a little bit more expensive. In my opinion, Hitachi should look into the possibility of unifying the HNAS into full storage, meaning that the HNAS should be integrated into the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series."

"One thing that can be improved is the price because it is a bit expensive."

"Compared to others, Hitachi products are more complex and not user-friendly."

More Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform cons

"Integration is needed with other virtual vendors like VMware, Veeam, Hyper-V; that integration needs to be deeper, not just the way that they're using it now. I know that it's under development, but I think this is one of the disadvantages, for now, as a young company. They have to work with the other players on the market."

"The only critique that we have is it needs the ability to have local users added. You have to log in as one built-in admin account. You can't create your own."

"We had a single failure of the device but believe that it was tied to the server losing contact with our NTP server due to DNS issues. As Reduxio is very time-dependent, losing sync made the entire array unstable."

"We had a brief hiccup, a brief outage, during one upgrade process, but it wasn't too extreme."

"I am waiting for the vSphere Plug-In with individual VM level control."

"Scalability. Reduxio has only one product, they don’t have an option, for now, to expand the storage product."

"I would love to see deeper integration with VMware vSphere/vCenter. Right now, I can edit existing Reduxio datastore sizes in the vSphere web client. Provisioning new datastores that way would be nice."

"If Reduxio could manage multiple Reduxio systems within the same dashboard, or manage them as a single mode, it be very, very helpful for us."

More Reduxio [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate it a seven out of ten for pricing. It could be improved."

"We have 16 or 18 arrays. We like to do the three-year support model so that we get Evergreen and therefore, we get free upgrades. We pay around more than 1.5 million dollars."

"The Evergreen Storage subscription is great, because then I get new controllers every three years."

"Once you purchase Pure Storage FlashArray it is all-inclusive, you receive all the licenses needed."

"It's a good price point and it's a solid product for the price."

"For pricing, you have to take into account their performance on deduplication and compression in a $/GB comparison."

"We purchased a license to use this solution and we pay for the storage ourselves."

"The pricing is very attractive and it delivers performance for the money."

More Everpure FlashArray pricing and cost advice

"Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform is a very expensive product."

"Considering the solution's price, it is very competitive compared to the other competitors in the market. I rate the product price a nine out of ten."

"The price of the solution is reasonable compared to others, such as Dell EMC."

"It is expensive as compared to other vendors, but its price is good if you are looking for stability, reliability, performance, and security."

"The price of the solution is reasonable. However, I have not done extensive comparative research on the price. If you want to upgrade the size of the disc you will need to purchase a license that accounts for the size."

"I find Hitachi to be cheaper by five to ten percent when compared to Dell and HP's costs, but the features in Dell are better than Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform."

"The pricing is very competitive compared to other vendors. It really depends on the type of media we're using, like SaaS, SSP, or NVMe."

"The licensing cost of Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G Series, whether it would be high or more affordable, would depend on location. For example, here in Brazil, Hitachi charges in dollars and this means my company still needs to convert that into local currency. Sometimes, my company also needs to discuss the pricing with the Hitachi sales team and request for a discount. At the moment, pricing for Hitachi is high, but my team can have some global funding or global accounts that would help reach the price my company is aiming for."

More Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform pricing and cost advice

"The compression and dedupe are very effective on Reduxio, so it may be worth asking about licensing partial capacity on a unit, if the full capacity seems overkill for your environment."

"Setup and licensing are included in the solution cost."

"It was the best price for capacity and speed on a hybrid array I could find."

"They have very competitive pricing and were able to work within our budget constraints as a public school."

"They are very competitive in pricing, so I would definitely recommend Reduxio."

"For less money than my previous solution, I receive way more performance and backup features that far surpass anything on the market."

"The licensing is very simple with Reduxio. It is actually one of the attractions, unlike some of the other products. The other product we're using, in some of its incarnations, has extremely complex pricing, with every spindle having an associated license and fees. With Reduxio it's very simple. For the box - the hardware comes in essentially one configuration for the chassis, the unit (and you can buy multiple units and daisy-chain them) - there is no "a-la-carte," so many drives of this kind or that kind, etc. It has a basic hardware configuration. Then, through the software license, they allocate or assign you the right to use the full capacity, or half of it, or a quarter of it. Of course, if you're not using the full capacity but need to, it is a simple phone call to upgrade. It's as simple as it gets."

"I think it is worth the value."
