Cloud service has streamlined daily monitoring and reporting but still needs smoother setup
When it comes to scalability, we never got to the point where we could scale it, or at least while I was there. Scalability is a tricky word. You design for it, but to actually do it because you have a real need tends to take more time to come into fruition. I wasn't there when that scalability test was done. In terms of using the real-time performance analytics feature of CDW Managed Cloud Services, I think it was something a little different when I was working with it. Maybe it was termed differently. We had a real-time interaction performance report that we dealt with every day. Our goal was to have the tool create information and send it to us instead of us having to look for it. We used a real-time monitoring service functionality to generate a daily report, which my SMEs would then review and take actions in accordance as necessary. When assessing CDW's security management in maintaining data integrity and compliance, you meet the encrypt state compliance requirements and the ISO 9000, which we had requirements for, including the ISNet requirements with the 128-bit encryption states and 512s on the backend for hardware. We didn't have anything else beyond that, which is pretty standard these days. We had no data penetrations during the time I was there.

Seamless upgrades have boosted reliable block performance and simplified data center operations
Using block storage with Everpure Evergreen One has helped my production workloads primarily through performance and reliability. The performance is excellent because of Pure's simple architecture with just two controllers. Everpure Evergreen One offers exceptional features, including hardware that is compact and does not occupy multiple racks in data centers. The cooling and electricity savings are significant, and the ease of management means that even someone without any experience can manage Pure. The ease of management has helped my team because storage provisioning is straightforward. You can provision storage with just two clicks without waiting. There is no spinning, no loading, nothing—just one action, assuming you have already completed the zoning and added the hosts and host groups. Everpure Evergreen One has positively impacted my organization because the Evergreen model provides a hardware refresh every three years, essentially giving you new hardware and better performance, which is one of the coolest things. From these hardware refreshes, I have seen specific outcomes including no downtime at all. I performed a controller upgrade from M series to X, and it was seamless—no downtime, just one controller replacement at a time, with no performance issues and data still accessible.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"CDW built things from the ground up for us, did everything for us and then handed it off and showed us how to use it, freeing up about half of our summer project time and ensuring everything was set up correctly and securely."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services acts as a gateway between us and Microsoft, providing highly technical resources that save us from going to Microsoft frequently and reduce costs since Microsoft support depends on hours purchased."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services has positively impacted my organization by reducing costs, being more efficient and secure to use, and offering a user-friendly platform that gives quick access to all features in a single cloud service portal."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services acts as a security guard and doctor for my cloud."
"What I like most about CDW Managed Cloud Services is that it is short and concise; it was about getting the configs in place, getting directly to the information we need when we need it, and then getting back focused on being profitable."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services has found pitfalls and various things in the infrastructure, e.g., in routes, IP ranges, and security loopholes, that didn't need to be there. They stripped it down and went to a very flat topography, making it less complicated. So, there are less things to trip over and go wrong, which means less downtime."
"Our expectations have been met in terms of services delivered on time, on budget, and on spec."
"Their proactive alerting is valuable. They'll try and apprise us of issues before they become problems. I find that very valuable."
"Everpure Evergreen One has impacted my organization positively because, as an SI company, when we buy it in bulk and share it among multiple other customers, it helps us with the shared model and how we can handle the entire workload."
"The Evergreen program is excellent, and the pricing is quite reasonable. My friends who work there are doing very well and consistently achieving strong results. Like any company, they experience occasional downturns but perform impressively overall."
"My advice to others looking into using Everpure Evergreen One is to stop looking at other solutions; you have already found the best one."
"Everpure Evergreen One has positively impacted my organization as I can share specific outcomes or metrics from partnering with Everpure, for example, it has helped attract more clients and improve our demo success rates."
"Everpure Evergreen One has been my go-to storage platform for years, positively impacting my organization."
"We have snapshots. We put snapshots on disks, and we can save information. In the case of ransomware, everything is in the snapshot. We have a snapshot lock on it, so it's safe."
"Everpure Evergreen One helps us to grow our business and sales; those are the two big points that we continue to offer the brand."
"The most valuable features in Pure Storage Evergreen One are the SLAs, which are tied to the kind of services that we are going to run, and these SLAs govern the consumption and the reporting as well."
 

Cons

"CDW Managed Cloud Services is performing very well overall, but the optimization can be improved in terms of loading the page."
"We are still waiting on one thing, but it is not really CDW. It is just something from Microsoft."
"I would like to see them improve when it comes to helping develop an interface to this environment that's more user-friendly. We're introducing people to the use of a type of cloud scenario that they're not familiar with. We have to train them on and teach them how it's implemented. Having a little bit better interface would be helpful."
"During implementation, I wasn't that impressed with their performance from a project management standpoint, especially for the prices charged."
"When you initially engage with them, there is the idea that you will have certain check-ins on a quarterly or monthly basis. That didn't really occur until we started to reach out to engage with them. As soon as we started to touch base, it was great. We identified that there were some other initiatives we wanted to get in place. However, it was really on us to get the ball rolling on that. It would have been helpful if we had a CDW resource reaching out, saying, "Hey, what do you want to do next? How is this working for you? How is this not?" That initial engagement would have certainly helped on the professional services side."
"The infamous whiteboard still has some things to deploy from my standpoint and our primary business solution standpoint. So, there is always room to grow. There are a few security things that I would like to deploy, such as single sign-on so the email address and password are the login."
"The pricing could always come down because cost is always a factor. Our business is always looking to reduce costs while getting the best services."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services could provide more detailed documentation for their services, expert support, and all of the benefits they provide."
"Customers are very happy with Everpure Evergreen One solutions; however, it could be improved with better prices and availability of new storage or flash arrays."
"I would love to explore more options on what Pure Storage Evergreen One can offer in general, mostly from the cybersecurity perspective and air gap."
"To me, I think it's a little expensive. Then again, you get what you pay for."
"It would be nice to have support in Swedish."
"I'm not sure if any improvements are needed."
"The only potential drawback is that Pure Storage might be overkill if you don't need microsecond response times."
"Everpure Evergreen One could be improved by being slightly more flexible with the pricing model."
"Many customers report that the starting price is quite high. However, the overall total cost of ownership can be reduced over time due to features like the Evergreen architecture, which allows savings through less management and environmental benefits."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is very competitive and appropriate for what we get."
"The biggest factor for us was cost, and at the time, CDW Managed Cloud Services was most efficient for what we needed."
"A lot of people see the cost, and they are like, "Well, that is a lot if we already have an internal IT person." It's like, "Well, you're not just getting that." You are getting access to resources and peace of mind, to say, "I don't have to worry about this server dying at 2:00 in the morning because these guys will handle it." I will wake up, and if there would have been a problem, it would have been addressed. It would have been notated and fixed."
"We have used CDW’s free Recommendation Engine. That is what we use for the cost savings. It helped us find places to reduce our cloud costs."
"CDW Managed Cloud Services will not be cheaper than what you are doing on-premises. It will be more expensive."
"It is a little more complex than I would like, but I think that's more AWS than CDW. CDW actually saves us money in regards to the way they handle things. We get support without a six-figure commitment from the AWS side, and that's appreciated."
"The pricing is very good."
