|---|---|---|
| Analyst at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees | 5.0 | I value its excellent data migration capabilities, especially for server transfers between storage arrays. I've used it for three years without major issues in deployment, stability, or scalability, though I'd like to see fewer failures. |
| Engineer with 51-200 employees | 4.0 | I found the product easy to use, fast, and stable. Its automated migration was efficient. Initial setup was straightforward, and I received good customer and technical support. No deployment or scalability issues were encountered. |
| Senior Storage Engineer with 51-200 employees | 5.0 | I find this solution stable with good migration features and GUI. Setup was straightforward, offering a 60% ROI. However, I wish it were vendor-independent, like IBM SVC, and had better technical support. |
| IT Storage Consultant with 51-200 employees | 5.0 | I've used this solution for six years. It simplifies online data migration and disk swapping without business impact, saving time and cost. Setup was straightforward, with no major issues. I find it easy to deploy and use. |
| Senior SAN Engineer at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees | 4.0 | I value its transparent online volume migration, which avoids disruption and simplifies operations. It significantly improved capacity management and extended legacy system lifespan, though I wish it could migrate between arrays without virtualization. |
| SAN Systems Administrator at a retailer with 1,001-5,000 employees | 4.0 | For five years, I've appreciated its fast, low-downtime data migration and straightforward setup. While virtualization improved operations, I experienced a minor performance issue and see Q-depth settings as a key improvement area. |
Its way of migrating the data is the most valuable feature.
It knows the right way to migrate the servers from one storage array to another array.
Fewer failures.
I have been using this product for the last 3 years.
I did not face any major issue with deployment.
I did not face any major issues with stability.
I did not face any major issues with scalability.
5 out of 5.
Technical Support:Not much required for technical support of this product; it’s easy and simple to use.
Beforehand I did not use any other solution.
No, we didn't evaluate other options.
Ease of use, speed.
On a dedicated mission oriented upon administrative tasks, the automated migration of one storage class to another was efficient and produced swift and silent migration jobs.
This product in particular, 6 months, HDS products in general, 3 years
No particular issue with deployment
Good stability - No issues
I experienced HTSM in an homogeneous context, so I haven't encountered issues with scalability.
Good customer service 4/5
Technical Support:Good technical support 4/5
On that mission I was in an HDS context, and experienced with no other solution.
Straightforward initial setup. Possibilities of automation.
In-house implementation.
Online Storage Migration.
GUI and support documents.
Should be vendor independent [like IBM SVC].
I have been using the solution for 6 years.
No.
No.
Good.
Technical Support:Average.
Yes, I have used IBM SVC. But few customer has only HDS Array. Thus I have to switch to HTSM software.
Straightforward.
Good.
60%.
License cost.
Make it an in-build features of HCS.
Moving data online and swapping legacy disks to new disks without any business impact.
Time and cost of resources, to migrate data from one storage to another with minimal business impact is bit tricky, this production does all this in single console without business impact.
Progress refresh while data copy.
6 years.

Technical Support:4 out of 5.
Used IBM, but not so robust like Hitachi Tiered storage manager.
Straightforward.
Both in-house and vendor team, 5/5.
Time and cost of resource and no business impact.
Yes, EMC, IBM (new product).
Pretty easy to deploy and easy to use.
Transparent and online migration of volumes from one tier to another. This feature brings about no disruption to server activities while the migration is on-going.
There is now no need to carry out host copy migrations from one external dynamic pool to another. All we use now is the HTSM because of its transparency to servers without the need for service outage.
The ability to migrate from one array to another without the need to virtualize one array behind the other.
4 years.
No.
No.
Nope.
3 out of 5 (HDS Customer service).
Technical Support:There was no need to engage the HDS Technical support.
It was pretty straightforward in my environment because the HUS and AMS arrays have been virtualized behind the USPv arraybefore we decided that we need to move some volumes from the HUS to the AMS arrays.
In-house implementation.
It reduced the number of HDP pools which eventually led to better capacity management and reduce the cost of maintaining multiple HDP pools.
It also extended the lifespan of the legacy systems in the environment.
I was not involved in the budget costing for the license of the software.
Other options were not evaluated because that’s the only tool available from HDS that will do the job adequately.
Minimal downtime with fast data migration.
Virtualizing storage frames and migrating data fastly at storage level.
Q-depth settings.
5 years.
Little performance issue.
No.
No.
4 out of 5.
Technical Support:4 out of 5.
Open migrator.
Straightforward.
In-house.
Have permanent license for this product on 2 storage frames.
No.
Easy implementation if migrating data to HDS storage arrays.
