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.

User interface offers clarity and detailed information while technical support consistently delivers

The best features of Dell SC Series are stability and replication. The replication solution is excellent, and they have a solution named Live Migration. It is a robust platform. The interface and the GUI (graphical user interface) for administrating the Compellent are exceptional, with abundant information that is very clear. The management capabilities are excellent, and the stability of our storage hardware is remarkable.

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

"There is no comparison performance-wise."

"The most valuable feature of Pure Storage FlashArray is the complete set of functions it provides."

"The seamless integration into the public cloud has improved my organization."

"The most valuable features are the ease of use and support."

"One of the lesser sung advantages was when we started running our interface engine on Pure Storage; the ability to process messages and pass them through in our organization skyrocketed purely because of a disk that I owned which we were getting out of Pure Storage."

"It's a great return on investment, based on the mission."

"One feature that's particularly valuable for our finance customers is Pure Storage's safe mode. It protects against ransomware attacks by taking snapshots. Our customers were very impressed with this capability. The data reduction is also impressive compared to other providers."

"In Pure Storage FlashArray, the dedupe and compression are excellent, and performance is good too."

More Everpure FlashArray pros

"I think that Dell EMC is one of the best technical support services in Ukraine."

"It was very easy to install, maintain, and provides excellent manageability."

"It's very scalable, especially with federation. If you outgrow the number of spindles that a unit can support, depending on the model, you can go into federation."

"It has been one of the most stable products in our data center."

"What is most valuable about the Dell EMC SC Series system was its reliability."

"We never had a single crash with this product."

"Everything is sub-5 MS for us. What I've found is that, with all-flash, when an app from my business is slow, I pretty much know it's them and not me. It leads to a performance conversation that has really hit an interesting threshold point where we are better than what they need. So now we get to have that "refactoring your application" conversation a lot quicker because now the performance on the infrastructure side isn't in question anymore."

"The setup is straightforward."

More Dell SC Series pros

"Immediate data recovery: critical to business continuity in an age of unknown cyber threats."

"The biggest feature, and one of the reasons we use it with the file shares, is its continuous Snapshotting. We can go back to almost to any point in time, not only to last night at midnight or a week ago, but 10 minutes ago or three-hours-and-so-many-seconds, or whatever the case may be. We already had a brush with ransomware in the past, so it's good to know we can dial back to just before a mishap happens."

"I have an every second undo button for all my applications. I call Reduxio "the ransomware killer"."

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

"We like the way the Reduxio is designed, the way the managing/operating end is just so much easier; fewer steps, more intuitive steps. It has a number of features baked into it that, in other products, are additional licensed components, like compression and dedupe."

"For less money than my previous solution, I receive way more performance and backup features that far surpass anything on the market."

"Write latency is averaging way under a millisecond."

"We deployed a new project and application and I didn't even have to call my boss and ask for a new budget for new disks and new storage."

More Reduxio [EOL] pros

Cons

"The product could improve by providing the capability to support NAS storage – CIFS and NFS."

"Data reduction is an area that needs improvement. There is a garbage collection service that runs but during that time, system utilization increases."

"The way Pure Storage does the controller storage warranty or replacement has been an issue for some people who just replace the controllers every couple of years, and that's where some of the confusion with pricing and support has come in."

"Technical support needs improvement. With respect to them being able to respond, they're more marketing people, less technical."

"It would be beneficial to have a separate pricing point for environments with lower performance requirements or less workload."

"Improved reporting on the deduplication and compression functionality would be beneficial."

"I would love for them to have a hyper-converged solution."

"Scalability is not an easy option for Pure Storage, so you have to be very careful when you are getting that product for you."

More Everpure FlashArray cons

"Licensing, especially on the storage line, could use some simplification. It's not terrible, but, for example, with the Isilon series, they've gone to completely a la carte. A la carte is very difficult to traverse, as to what you need. It would be more beneficial, at least from my point of view as a customer, if they did it more like car companies do, where there are package lines"

"The only issue with scaling up is that the pricing gets pretty high."

"For example, for a 4TB SSD, they may charge you seven grand or eight grand. It's expensive."

"There's always room for improvement in the operating code."

"This product is too expensive compared to others, and I don't see any value in using it."

"In the future, I want any box that comes on-premises to have the provision to integrate with cloud storage."

"An issue we had was that the controller went down during an upgrade because of their upgrading the code."

"While the scalability is good, there are certain limitations. Our racks are at their limit, so we do not have the requisite scalability to expand."

More Dell SC Series cons

"t would be helpful to have a mobile app to monitor the storage array remotely."

"The latest release limits web access to the admin console via Chrome only, and that's a bit of a hassle. Would definitely prefer something less restrictive there."

"The latest release limits web access to the admin console via Chrome only, and that's a bit of a hassle."

"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."

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

"The only critique that we have is it needs the ability to have local users added. You have to log in as one built-in admin account. You can't create your own."

"The user interface for the web console could be more user-friendly, while it is flashy, how to find functions is not necessarily obvious."

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

More Reduxio [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are no licensing fees aside from the support."

"The best features come included without any additional cost."

"It is a cheaper solution."

"It could always be lower, but it's okay."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The price, in general, is around $100,000, however, I know it costs more."

"Our Evergreen Storage subscription is supposed to be good when we go to upgrade."

"Because the price is a bit higher than other products, the data reduction equalizes the price with amount of the data reduction."

More Everpure FlashArray pricing and cost advice

"The SC Series was priced fairly. I wouldn't call it either expensive or cheap because we had a very tight budget, so if they were able to fit in that type of budget, they met our expectations."

"We have found the solution to be affordable."

"This product is too expensive compared to others, and I don't see any value in using it."

"It's a very affordable solution."

"Compared to other solutions out there, it's affordable."

"The maintenance is usually pretty good. It's not like some of the others where they increase it in the fourth, fifth, or sixth years."

"It has a good price point and offers some value-added enterprise features."

"We have reviewed many platforms over the years. It is probably the best solution for its value."

More Dell SC Series pricing and cost advice

"All of their new features that were released following our purchase are free of charge. For example, we are about to upgrade getting cloud integration for free."

"I think that you are able to buy a minimum capacity, then grow your capacity within the box as you expand your data needs."

"For less money than my previous solution, I receive way more performance and backup features that far surpass anything on the market."

"One of the key selling points of the Reduxio was that it really is fully licensed for the unit. There are no additional licenses needed for the product, which really helps scalability. There were no additional options to purchase, per se. They were already wrapped into the product."

"I think the pricing is good value, because you're not just buying a storage array, you're buying a backup solution and a DR solution and a "time machine" solution, all bundled in one storage array. When we had NetApp storage we had to then go out and buy a copy of Veeam which is a backup solution. With the Reduxio, you still need to do backups but you don't need that software product."

"The advantage of using HDDs to store (versus pure flash) makes the price point attractive versus other options."

"ROI is how much (time, money, resources) you will save in case of a ransomware attack because you had this box."

"It was the best price for capacity and speed on a hybrid array I could find."
