Technical Lead at Wipro Limited

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.

Storage solutions accommodate diverse drives and offers good resiliency

Technical support is good. I can log complaints online through the portal and have engineers in line. I can also take dedicated engineers if needed, although this involves a different support cost. As far as my requirements are concerned, it is working fine. There are two or three types of support. Standard support involves logging a complaint and receiving a call from the OEM on the same day, but hardware replacement takes two to three days. Advanced support offers instant replacement without delays. Hardware support terms include calling or emailing the company or logging the call in the portal to receive remote support, or getting a dedicated engineer or account manager from Dell.

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

"Now they are trying to add more and more applications because they're getting better performance and stability."

"It is all-flash. This makes it a lot faster than the rest of what we have, as it is able to drive high I/O loads, which is big for us."

"The most valuable feature is the speed of it, as it is much faster than anything that we can get from similar competitors, and the solution helps to simplify storage."

"We like the data reduction rates. That has been really helpful. You get 4U of Pure storage replacing something like two racks of spinning disks. One of the things that has contributed to that are the data reduction rates."

"It has been quite satisfactory in performance and scalability."

"Their support is top-notch, and their NPS scores reflect this."

"We experience fast demos and zero downtime; we do not experience any downtime with Pure Storage, thanks to resilience with Safe Mode, integration with backup software, and everything related to cyber resilience."

"Data deduplication features make it easier to manage storage and forecast growth."

More Everpure FlashArray pros

"When it comes to mid-range storage solutions, it's usually our preferred solution, from all-flash all the way up to hybrid solutions too."

"Most valuable features have been the system customization with it, the performance you receive, and their CoPilot Support (or Dell EMC Storage Support)."

"It has good dedupe and compression. Also, the built-in data migration capabilities are pretty good, as is the federation. When we started migrating the workloads from different storage platforms, like NetApp and XtremeIO, it helped us in moving to that direction."

"With mixed workloads, we are seeing at least a 15 to 20 percent improvement."

"The management capabilities are excellent, and the stability of our storage hardware is remarkable."

"Overall, the underlying technology they are using is really great."

"It's the storage backbone for our virtual environment."

"We replicate between SAN to SAN for a lot of features and supportability. It also helps us when we want to upgrade to a newer SC Series or move the data from one data center to another."

More Dell SC Series pros

"The ability to target existing remote storage with NoRestore is going to allow us to leverage existing storage without an increased financial investment."

"The TimeOS support and I/O performance. For instance, recovery of data from any point in time, and the speed of the unit, are incredible compared to other devices we reviewed."

"Takes advantage of deduplication and compression through as much of the content of VMs which are similar."

"We are able to recover to the second, if needed, our data. This greatly improves restore capability, for example, if there is a cryptolocker outbreak or data loss."

"Write latency is averaging way under a millisecond."

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

"I can't remember if I have ever been so impressed with a product or with a company."

"Because of its ability to recover data instantly, we made the decision to make Reduxio our primary storage."

More Reduxio [EOL] pros

Cons

"Most of our upgrades have not been as smooth as they should have been."

"I would like to see more detailed reporting on the data. However, it would be nice to know what are the exact VMs usage after deduplication and/or what that VMs actual latency and bandwidth is, outside of VMware."

"The initial setup of the product is complex."

"The difference in pricing could become a problem for Pure because the commoditization of the solutions could lead to a different price being a problem."

"It falls far short of protocol support."

"I would like to see the NAS add-on component become more fault-tolerant than just a single virtual machine running inside the array. I'm unwilling to use it for that reason."

"Currently, the solution fails to support file screening."

"In the next release I would like to see integration into other third-party player providers like Google."

More Everpure FlashArray cons

"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the lack of reporting would be the main issue."

"While there's always room for improvement in everything, I can't really think of a specific feature of the solution that requires immediate attention."

"Currently, we are not using this solution extensively because it's becoming a sunset solution."

"I would like to see higher compression, dedupe, faster I/O, and bigger drives."

"The configuration could be easier in Dell EMC SC Series."

"The administration and support (on the way that they delivered) was a little bit slow."

"The tool's pricing is high and not suitable for medium companies."

"We can definitely see a need for it being a multi-controller system for customers who want to scale beyond the current capability. That's always a downside. A lot of the new systems are scaling vertically, they scale out, and the Compellent, of course, is controllers with shelves under it, so you don't scale out with it, unless you add another one. But if you do, they don't talk to each other, like some of the other solutions that we sell."

More Dell SC Series cons

"We had a brief hiccup, a brief outage, during one upgrade process, but it wasn't too extreme."

"The only thing that I would point out would be the basic administration management of the machine."

"Integration is needed with other virtual vendors like VMware, Veeam, Hyper-V; that integration needs to be deeper, not just the way that they're using it now. I know that it's under development, but I think this is one of the disadvantages, for now, as a young company. They have to work with the other players on the market."

"Would love to have role-based access and an active directory integration."

"It would be nice feature if the GUI had an option to export the current unit configuration to a file or an email recipient. In case of a disaster, this way it would be quicker to get a replacement unit up and running again."

"Needs some hooks into cloud storage for backup. Also they should update the system to use additional secondary storage as a resource."

"Maybe it should come in stainless steel, just like its DeLorean time machine predecessor."

"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."

More Reduxio [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For pricing, you have to take into account their performance on deduplication and compression in a $/GB comparison."

"Its price is almost double than any other flash storage solution."

"The price is reasonable."

"There are no fees for licensing. The hardware is paid for only once."

"I don't know the exact cost but it's around $1,000."

"We have seen a reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO)."

"Because of the SSD, it is cheaper because I am not purchasing so many disks."

"Pure is typically more expensive than everyone else. You get what you pay for, but I have lost deals to similar solutions because of pricing. They include everything, and that's another positive about Pure Storage. They aren't trying to nickel and dime their customers for different features. It is all included in one price. The license is by capacity, and the price depends on the capacity and the discount we're getting from the vendor. You get the SKU of the physical appliance, support, and maintenance, and that's it. You're licensed for whatever feature they offer. It is all rolled up into the price of the appliance."

More Everpure FlashArray pricing and cost advice

"The pricing of Dell EMC Compellent is competitive."

"We have the basic license for the use of this solution and it is a permanent license. The overall cost could be less, it is expensive."

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

"The pricing is reasonable, but it is expensive."

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

"Pricing depends on varying life cycles."

"Support typically depends on the array. It can range anywhere from $7,000 to a couple of hundred thousand dollars."

"There are costs involving the solution, vendor fees and product safety which are additional."

More Dell SC Series pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

"They are very competitive in pricing, so I would definitely recommend Reduxio."

"Set up costs are minimal. We were early adopters so we received really good pricing."

"Depending on your cost of data loss, one ransomware or accidental deletion could pay for a Reduxio appliance."

"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."

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