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.

Uninterrupted upgrades accelerate performance with good support

I would rate the solution eight out of ten. It should be noted that in Pakistan, some parts are not readily available, and we need to import them from Singapore or other countries. We encountered an issue with a customer where the midplane failed and was not available. We had to wait for several days for a replacement, even in a 24/7 support case. Additionally, we faced motherboard failures in the customer's environment, encountering two motherboard failures simultaneously. We obtained one motherboard immediately, yet had to wait ten days for another. These issues should have been resolved promptly given the 24/7 support level.

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 support from Pure Storage Flash Array is amazing."

"It simplifies building out the storage."

"Using this solution has improved our consolidation ratio and it saves us a lot of space."

"The amount of data that I have moved to it from legacy storage has enabled us to retire units that are three or four times the physical size."

"Pure Storage FlashArray has helped us decrease the storage footprint in a significant way; the dedupe and compression that they have is really good, and we're getting about four to ten in the deduplication and compression."

"Very efficient storage"

"The product has not gone down in a year, so I would say that it is stable, and we haven't seen any high spikes in read/write latency."

"FlashArray's data reduction and NAS features are incredible. Its performance is the best I've worked with."

More Everpure FlashArray pros

"3PAR is a stable product; we have used the current device and an older version for more than seven years and although we had accidents with nodes and hard drives, it is high-availability storage and we never had a blackout and we have never been offline."

"Whatever failures you have, there is no single point of failure. So, any failure, you get an alert, you have time, you plan the fix, the replacement, and so on. So your operations are intact."

"Don’t have any second thoughts and just go with it, as it is really a great product and should fulfill most business needs while being easy to use."

"Previously, we were using EVA from HPE. When we moved to 3PAR, we noticed a reduction in footprint, reduced by more than 30%. We use the Adaptive Optimization, giving us a reduction in cost and with better performance."

"To me, the deduplication features and compression are really helpful, the all-flash integration is valuable, and its high-density storage makes the total cost of ownership of the solution good for a company."

"It was straightforward, simple, and easy to set up, along with the OneView tools, for managing both compute and storage."

"It is reliable, and it seems like a solid product. It has been working well so far."

"3PAR has enabled us to bring additional services to the organization that we wouldn't have been able to bring on, giving us the flexibility of just not worrying about the infrastructure and giving the business the confidence to roll out services."

More HPE 3PAR StoreServ pros

"Ease of use, time to market and scalability are all advantages. We can install new software and new applications in no time. That means we don't need buy a new shelf or new disks, just create a virtual machine and the system does everything behind the scenes."

"Reduxio requires zero upfront setup for backups. I get backups every single second for as long as I want with zero impact to performance."

"While looking for a SAN, I came across the Reduxio solution by chance, and it has not only resolved the issue of replacing our old SANs, but provided a radical solution to threats posed by ransomware with its backdating feature which is built-in."

"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."

"Any time I have needed anything, from a simple question to someone to be onsite, the customer service has been exceptional."

"Reduxio offers a very simple, elegant user interface (design) to manage it."

"We have already replaced our storage and backup with Reduxio’s converged primary and secondary platform."

"There are just too many features that are too attractive to have any regrets over buying it."

More Reduxio [EOL] pros

Cons

"The number of Filesystems is limited, which it is not on the EMC VNX."

"A noticeable area for improvement is the support for object storage. The FlashArray does not natively support object storage like S3 or Swift, which pushes customers needing these features towards the more expensive FlashBlade."

"I recognize it's a difficult challenge, but I would like to see them make the pricing more reasonable."

"Pricing could be better in comparison to other solutions."

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

"I'd like to see a move towards individual VMs for what the performance of each VM is in a VD infrastructure. I can see the overall volume, but I would love to see things in a more granular level on the VM side."

"The technical support is okay, but could be improved."

"The GUI is simplistic and basic. I feel like it's explanatory, but not enough, it needs a little more to it."

More Everpure FlashArray cons

"I would like to see a little better integration with OneView and provisioning ESX Hosts, but other than that it meets our needs."

"Licensing is still a pain point."

"HPE could improve by making an old flash system in order to compete with the current market. For the solution to be more competitive in the mid-range market they could increase the performance."

"Anything new can be complex. There were some things in the initial deployment that I was not happy about. One of my directives was, "However, it's configured, ensure that it can never be overprovisioned." That one key thing was overlooked. This is why I had to have a support call last year, because it actually became overprovisioned and I had to move some stuff around."

"Sometimes the required upgrades have been a little bit involved: "You have to do this before you do this," and I want them to explain to me why. It's more work than it should be."

"The management console could use some work. All the functionality is there, of course, but it can be hard to find some features or do certain tasks."

"HPE gives you how to get everything going, but it would be nice if they could go a little deeper sometimes. That is always the case: To get the value-add, you have to pay for those services."

"I want artificial intelligence. I don't want anybody from my team to touch it anymore. I want the AI to do everything."

More HPE 3PAR StoreServ cons

"the only thing I would say negative about Reduxio is the cabling was a little bit confusing at first, but now that we understand it, it's easy. It was just so different from what we've seen before. That was the only hard part to get used to. The storage array is fully redundant, so there are some cross-connect cables that you have to run, from the A side to the B side, and the B side back to the A side, and we've just never seen anything like that before. But now that I understand the design, it makes complete sense. But initially it was confusing."

"The only thing that I'd like to see, at some point in time, is having the storage array being able to detect a ransomware attack. When you get hit by a ransomware it rewrites every block in your guest's virtual machine. So there should be a way for them to be able to detect that: "Hey, this is unusual, to see every block of this guest being rewritten all at one time," and then flag that as potential malware or ransomware."

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

"A centralized management would be nice, the ability to manage all cluster in one management portal."

"The only thing that I would point out would be the basic administration management of the machine. Everything has rights, meaning that there's either all control or no delegated control. So to sum that up, it would be a feature request for delegated management in the administrative console."

"I am waiting for the vSphere Plug-In with individual VM level control."

"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 would love an iPhone app to monitor my system from outside the firewall."

More Reduxio [EOL] cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price-to-performance is good. I looked at Pure about three to four years back, but the price-to-performance wasn't right for us. Now, it's right."

"It is a cheaper solution."

"The cost was initially high, but once more people were using it, the costs came down. This was because the University was reselling it to other departments."

"Pure Storage FlashArray is expensive."

"It was less expensive than some of the alternatives. It's not as though it was a premium price to get that kind of quality. It's a very competitive product from a price perspective..."

"The pricing of Pure Storage FlashArray is reasonable."

"We evaluated Oracle and Hitachi, but Pure Storage had the better pricing."

"Cost-wise, I imagine that the product's price would probably give you a nosebleed if you were a younger company."

More Everpure FlashArray pricing and cost advice

"We are going to buy eight nodes this year and eight nodes next year. Eventually, we are not going to want to buy large storage devices and probably utilize just storage, but in a different manner going forward."

"We purchased the total package for approximately $60,000."

"3PAR was quite a bit less money than EMC, and that was one of the deciding factors."

"We have seen ROI. While the costs were quite high at the time of purchase for our environment, the ease of use and the fact that it hasn't failed all the time, working fine, that makes it worth buying."

"The main issue with 3PAR right now is its cost problem. Right now, there are some other storage cabinets that can do what 3PAR can do. Now, they can do it as well with a more revised budget."

"Nowadays, from a storage point of view, there are so many vendors in the market. So cost is one of the factors that pushed us to go with HPE 3PAR. Cost-wise they're pretty competitive."

"Budget wise, 3PAR is a lot of money compared to other solutions, but what is in the 3PAR integration that customers are getting now from the Nimble and InfoSight acquisitions, it is worthwhile."

"From a comparison of bang-for-the-buck, what you get for the money, I'd have to say they are one of the market leaders. Are there solutions that do it faster? Sure, but you're going to pay for it. 3PAR isn't the cheapest, it isn't the most expensive, but in my opinion, it's the best."

More HPE 3PAR StoreServ pricing and cost advice

"Only one device is sold. Negotiate the initial storage, but you can start small and move up with ease. Negotiate."

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

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

"They have very competitive pricing and were able to work within our budget constraints as a public school."

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

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

"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."

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