Sowjanya MV

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

"The solution is stable with low vulnerabilities."

"Everpure FlashArray is very user-friendly, easy to learn, and makes it easy to identify issues while providing more redundancy on both the controller and host sides."

"The performance is great."

"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."

"If you need faster storage and a good product, this is the one you should go ahead with."

"I find two features of Pure Storage most valuable. The first is the "safe mode" function, and the second is its simplicity."

"It has improved the way our organization functions by improving the resilience of our infrastructure by quite a bit."

"We saw a vast improvement when we switched over to using the Pure Storage model over the XtremIO."

More Everpure FlashArray pros

"Customers are most impressed with SC's provisioning because you don't need to buy a large amount of storage upfront. It's pay-as-you-grow. It also has solid compression and duplication features."

"It is suitable for small or medium businesses."

"It has definitely improved our speed, storage space, and recovery times."

"With auto-tiering, it's easier to understand than most arrays, knowing that all of your writes go to the tier that you specify, with easy-to-create storage profiles."

"I find this version to be more budget-friendly compared to products from other vendors. This aspect greatly benefits my customers. It's highly advantageous due to its affordability. The operational aspect is also noteworthy. Additionally, its availability and performance are commendable. The speaker are also equally powerful."

"The Phone Home support is very good, providing proactive troubleshooting and responding quickly, and we also have a local vendor who supports all our IT infrastructure and acts as our consultant."

"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."

"The performance benefits weren't surprising, we expected that. What we didn't expect were the densification benefits that we got out of going all-flash. We're able to put more applications on the arrays because of how all-flash performs. The way some of the application profiles have responded to all-flash has been really pleasing."

More Dell SC Series pros

"My first impression of Reduxio was, "Hey, this is the first solution that I have ever encountered that can truly ensure business continuity," and my impression has not yet changed."

"Ease of user interface: prevents distractions and confusion when dealing with real-time catastrophes and high-pressure situations. Overall, it extremely easy to use. My team was trained within less than two hours."

"The whole product is based on point-in-time restore capabilities built into their storage appliance, and no one else I know does that."

"If you’re looking for a low latency, high capacity, dead simple, storage appliance, Reduxio HX550 should be your only choice."

"The Reduxio TimeOS has been an amazing solution with far reaching implications."

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

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

"Instant recovery through its continuous data protection."

More Reduxio [EOL] pros

Cons

"It doesn’t provide enough information on performance analytics. For example, Nimble Storage has Infosight, which provides data; Pure Storage doesn’t have an equivalent."

"The negative aspect of Everpure FlashArray is that migrations can be somewhat complicated."

"In the next version of this program, I would like to see increased security, higher encryption, and faster throughput."

"Larger capacity and more storage ports would be the two things I'd like to see."

"Areas for improvement would be the financial operations. In the next release, I would like to see a NAS protocol included."

"The only minor issues that come to mind are that, every once in a while, a hard drive will go bad. Also, the solution should be cheaper."

"The primary drawback is the cost, which can be prohibitive for small configurations."

"Some of the issues are that it's probably not on a par with other large storage enterprise type products."

More Everpure FlashArray cons

"Technical support should respond more quickly because the turnaround time is very high."

"Dell could improve the upgrading process. It was the lifecycle that made it very short."

"In terms of additional features, I would like to see some kind of I/O meter, to indicate what we are using in terms of performance. I would like to see automation with that, where it would give me the trends. I want to know those things easily, to help me know where issues are going to occur."

"This product should be a lot more user-friendly."

"They need to make it a little cheaper."

"The cost of the solution could be better."

"Overall, I'd like to see more synergy between Dell EMC's higher-tier platforms and their mid-tier platforms."

"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."

More Dell SC Series cons

"I would love to see deeper integration with VMware vSphere/vCenter. Right now, I can edit existing Reduxio datastore sizes in the vSphere web client. Provisioning new datastores that way would be nice."

"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."

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

"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."

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

"Scalability is a little unusual. We came from the NetApp world where, if you needed more disk space, you just added more drives into the chassis, whereas with Reduxio, if you need more disk space, you have to buy a new chassis."

"They're trying to do this, but they need to show more what their growth plan is, the development, what the next steps are, the future."

More Reduxio [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cost-wise, it's been very effective."

"There is an annual or perpetual license required for this solution."

"It is a more expensive solution, but it is worth it. You are getting what you paid for."

"The price of the solution is not expensive."

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

"The pricing of Pure Storage is all-inclusive. It is very fair, and very easy. In comparison, Dell EMC has licensing that needs to be added if you wan to work in a complex environment or in specific functionalities."

"We are finding the TCO of flash to be lower than SSD implementations."

"The cost has room for improvement."

More Everpure FlashArray pricing and cost advice

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

"Always keep in mind, this is not just a enclosure with disks is a complete SAN as a service. There is software, license, and storage in one single solution."

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

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

"We were able to afford two tiers of flash storage at a price where the competition was giving us one tier or just a handful of discs."

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

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

"This solution could be better priced in comparison with other vendors."

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."

"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."

"The pricing and licensing were favorable."

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

"You want the best, you've got to pay for the best, that's all. In terms of licensing, just work with your VAR. The features, overall, were just too good to pass up, even though it comes at a premium."

"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."

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

"I think they're really worth what I get. It's not cheap, but I get all I need."
