Gehad Said - PeerSpot reviewer
Consistent cost reduction and ease of deployment with storage solution
Dell PowerVault acts as an entry storage for a small organization; I've been using it in my organization. Dell PowerVault functions as SAN storage and iSCSI storage. Per workload capacity, the deployment and migration time is dependent on various factors. Dell PowerVault has strong features; we can work on it as a SAN storage, and if we are connecting with fiber, 16 gig or 22 gig, and as the iSCSI also. Dell PowerVault is a small SAN storage, and I recommend it for small organizations. If the customer does not have enough budget, and already has small capacity with not difficult workload, this is an entry-level storage solution, and for Dell PowerVault, I'm satisfied. I rate Dell PowerVault a nine out of ten.
