Featured Reviews

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.

Uninterrupted upgrades accelerate performance with good support

I would rate the solution eight out of ten. It should be noted that in Pakistan, some parts are not readily available, and we need to import them from Singapore or other countries. We encountered an issue with a customer where the midplane failed and was not available. We had to wait for several days for a replacement, even in a 24/7 support case. Additionally, we faced motherboard failures in the customer's environment, encountering two motherboard failures simultaneously. We obtained one motherboard immediately, yet had to wait ten days for another. These issues should have been resolved promptly given the 24/7 support level.

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

"The most valuable features of Pure Storage FlashArray are simplicity, ease of use, and dashboard management."

"The money I saved by not renewing maintenance on the Dell EMC devices paid for the Pure Storage devices."

"I would definitely suggest this solution to a colleague because of the ease of use."

"Once it's set up, it just runs on its own and only requires the occasional checkup."

"I like its speed. It has all the features that I need."

"We clearly have seen the difference between having storage on Dell EMC or NetApp versus what we have now on Pure Storage, and the investment was a clear win for us."

"Whoever is using Pure Storage is happy with it, including the latency and everything, and we have not received any complaints related to Pure Storage throughout the four years I have worked here, which is really great."

"Overall, Pure Storage FlashArray has never let us down in front of customers so far."

More Everpure FlashArray pros

"It's probably the most cost-effective, value-for-money system for the mid-market."

"From a management standpoint of the arrays, they work really well, they handle a lot of data and, overall, it lowers the complexity of our storage infrastructure."

"So far, we have yet to have a disk fail on either system, other than one I forced to fail when we first got the system in. So the reliability of the 3PAR system has been outstanding."

"It's a very popular product for enterprise storage."

"It has given us higher performance over our servers/applications, which work better now than with our previous storage system."

"The reliability. We're able to replicate our array to our DR site with minimal work. It's just turn it on and we're ready to go. It reduces risk for the business."

"The Remote Copy Group is amazing for the replication stuff."

"The tests we run against the hardware are typically tests that most people don't run; it's heavy duty, long amount of time, and HP was the most reliable in our tests, and also the best performing."

More HPE 3PAR StoreServ pros

"In the event of a deletion, corruption, or ransomware, I am never going to lose more than one second of changes."

"Enables multiple hosts access to the virtual machines by providing for moving VMs due to maintenance or host failure."

"Reduxio allows you just spin a dial and go back to just about any time… in most cases (depending on the policies you’ve set) to go back within one second granularity for a couple weeks in the past."

"From sales to support, the company has been extremely impressive, far exceeding our expectations."

"Improves the response of the VMs by having the most used portions on the flashcache."

"Reduxio requires zero upfront setup for backups. I get backups every single second for as long as I want with zero impact to performance."

"If you’re looking for a low latency, high capacity, dead simple, storage appliance, Reduxio HX550 should be your only choice."

"Reduxio offers a very simple, elegant user interface (design) to manage it."

More Reduxio [EOL] pros

Cons

"Automation could be simplified."

"They could improve the price."

"I would like some form of QoS implemented. As a service provider, it would be beneficial to have it."

"The difference in pricing could become a problem for Pure because the commoditization of the solutions could lead to a different price being a problem."

"The integration capabilities could be improved."

"Larger capacity and more storage ports would be the two things I'd like to see."

"Currently, the solution fails to support file screening."

"It is way in excess of what we need. If anything, we could see a bit more speed. I'm just comparing it with what some of my colleagues who are implementing their own systems do."

More Everpure FlashArray cons

"The support at HPE is not great, but it is good."

"We would also like to see improvements to the ease of administration of 3PAR."

"HPE 3PAR StoreServ has limited flexibility in building replication solutions. There are limitations to the number of IOPS the system can do. It's not bad as it is doing its job. However, for the application, if you need a toolbox, you can build everything concerning periodic replication modes of synchronous or asynchronous three-site, four-site, with supported cascading which requires you to buy an IBM product. It also takes a few hours to one day to upgrade the system and sometimes; it takes more time because, in some HPE 3PAR StoreServ 20000 Storage, you have an eight-node system. If you do an upgrade, you do it node by node and every node might take more than an hour."

"The biggest issues we had were performance issues with the older version, but this one has been doing okay."

"I give it an eight because of the support, that I can't get support in my country. This is the worst part. Support cannot be sold until we are out of the sanctions."

"It would also help if they integrate current technologies, newer technologies, and more efficient technologies, as time progresses. For example, integrate the fourth level of NAND devices."

"...sizing is everything. If you don't do the sizing right and you don't understand every detail of the product, how it works, you can be in a very unpleasant situation when you pay half a million dollars and you have a product that does not work as you expected."

"There are issues formulating the upgraded disk."

More HPE 3PAR StoreServ cons

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

"They're trying to do this, but they need to show more what their growth plan is, the development, what the next steps are, the future."

"It would be helpful to have the ability to recover virtual machines individually without having to restore the full LUN."

"I am waiting on a feature set in the new version which should allow me to replicate between Reduxio iSCSI SANs for disaster recovery and also to 3rd party iSCSI SANs which are cheaper for an archive or DR target."

"The only thing that I would point out would be the basic administration management of the machine."

"I would love an iPhone app to monitor my system from outside the firewall."

"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."

"A centralized management would be nice, the ability to manage all cluster in one management portal."

More Reduxio [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of Pure Storage FlashArray is reasonable."

"For us, as the customer, it reduced the price of the management."

"Pricing is very competitive, and it's better than other competitors."

"Because of the SSD, it is cheaper because I am not purchasing so many disks."

"The cost of Pure Storage is subjective and determined by your environment. Pure Storage tends to be more expensive than NetApp, but it is cheaper than EMC. Performance varies with data workload, making cost considerations complex."

"It is not the cheapest one out there. We're paying yearly, but I'm not 100% sure."

"Price is about the only thing that's wrong with it. A little bit better pricing would be great."

"Pure Storage has not helped us to reduce our licensing costs."

More Everpure FlashArray pricing and cost advice

"The tool’s price is higher compared to other products."

"The licensing cost for HPE 3PAR StoreServ is expensive."

"You need to properly assess your needs before buying the solution since there are chances of overpaying. The type of configuration that you choose can make the price go higher or lower."

"Take advantage of what HPE offers as far as professional services, and this will help you make the right decision."

"Since the prices of the flash storage has gone down tremendously, I would definitely recommend going for the all-flash storage array or 3PAR. It is a big expensive even now, but it will be the future of all industries."

"It is quite difficult to decide on the cost. At one point, I was the project lead to cover with some people, but the price was important and we had its compression calculated. At that moment, it was fair because that was one of the things moving their product due to the cost of HPE 3PAR StoreServ as they were competing with Hitachi and IBM A9000, which I'm not sure if is still available."

"We have seen ROI. While the costs were quite high at the time of purchase for our environment, the ease of use and the fact that it hasn't failed all the time, working fine, that makes it worth buying."

"They have added features, such as the compression and duplication, which have further increased our ROI."

More HPE 3PAR StoreServ pricing and cost advice

"You want the best, you've got to pay for the best, that's all. In terms of licensing, just work with your VAR. The features, overall, were just too good to pass up, even though it comes at a premium."

"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."

"I think that the only issue that I would like to see an improvement in would be the price."

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

"Depending on your cost of data loss, one ransomware or accidental deletion could pay for a Reduxio appliance."

"The pricing and licensing were favorable."

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

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