Integrated AI and clustering enhance storage operations effectively
I promote and recommend Dell PowerStore for all workloads to my clients and customers. Most of my customers have one appliance per site. Approximately 80% of my customers have Dell PowerStore implemented in their data centers. We always use CLS as another Dell solution for cybersecurity and data security. The CLS is integrated with the Data Domain, PowerProtect Data Domain, not with Dell PowerStore. Windows, Linux, and some customers use Red Hat or SUSE. We have many operating systems working with Dell PowerStore in the same environments and data centers. CloudIQ and Storage IQ are used by some customers, but Apex AIOps has not been widely adopted yet. Dell PowerStore has integration with VMware and Kubernetes. Most workloads work fine and have very good integration with Dell PowerStore, except for one or two specific workloads in the market. On a scale of one to ten, I rate Dell PowerStore a nine.

Good performance, suitable for big data, but the response time could be improved
The primary use case for this product is high-performance storage This product has good performance. It is similar to the Dell PowerMax and Pure Storage FlashArray. The InfiniBox has three active controllers. The response time for read requests can be improved. It is not as good as the solution…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have seen a return on investment with Dell PowerStore as it does what we wanted it to do. It gives me peace of mind."
"I rate Dell PowerStore a perfect 10 out of 10."
"The most valuable features are the three-to-one data reduction and the ability to scale out and up."
"The beauty is the simplicity - customers can manage multiple workloads from a single dashboard with scale-out architecture."
"Moving and optimizing workloads within the cluster is quite easy based on my experience with Dell PowerStore."
"Typically, high-performance and high-availability features, such as application snapshots and remote and local replication, are highly valued."
"The main feature of Dell PowerStore is its support for NVMe as well as hybrid solutions."
"The companies I sell Dell PowerStore to are extremely happy, as they keep expanding it and keep buying more shelves to expand the storage."
"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
"This product has good performance."
 

Cons

"One thing they need to work on is creating an app sync or the Metro Cluster functionality. Currently, it requires a different hop as we have to add multiple switches to build that functionality for replication from one data center to another. If that could be bundled in a base Dell PowerStore by default, it would be great."
"The price is on the higher side."
"The data resiliency and cybersecurity features of Dell PowerStore are just normal and would be considered medium; we need additional components such as cybersecurity vault for increased resilience."
"PowerStore's management console could be improved."
"Sometimes, you have to go back and forth with the technical support team, where they want you to do something you've already done."
"The only improvement that might be required, though not significantly, relates to the features that allow for support, specifically the call home features."
"There are some management issues in Dell PowerStore. I have managed several pieces of Dell PowerStore's hardware area, and I could feel that it was almost like a step back in certain areas when it came to the management interface."
"Users can be enrolled in lifecycle extension with pro support. The pricing for that is too high for PowerStore."
"The response time for read requests can be improved."
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We purchased it with a five-year warranty."
"Dealing with the licensing part of the product is very simple, especially considering the fact that we don't have many licenses associated with the tool."
"The price is high compared to the Tunisian market."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing structure and licensing model of Dell PowerStore are very good and I like it. We chose it because it was reasonably priced and met our requirements"
"The price is not cheap, but it's worth it for the features you get from the storage. If you can afford it, you are probably buying the best solution that you can have for this virtual environment."
"We are happy with the pricing that we get from Dell."
"With compression, we were able to have a solution within our company's budget. We include a clause in the contract with Dell that states if the compression ratio is not met, we will adjust the workload accordingly."
"The license covers any feature and also, the future features are already included. It is as easy as a 1, 2 and 3."
"The best features come included without any additional cost."
