Collaborate effectively with partners and benefit from robust data management capabilities
The functions of HPE StoreOnce that I find most valuable are its deduplication and replication options. These features save data and reduce the size of data significantly. If the actual size for backup data is 100 terabytes, using StoreOnce, it will be around less than 10% of the original size due to the 1 to 10 deduplication ratio. So, compression and replication are critical features I appreciate. Additionally, adaptive backup and restore capabilities of HPE StoreOnce are indeed very helpful functions. As I know from my technical team, the process is very easy for end users because the GUI and user experience with StoreOnce are straightforward. They can restore their backups at any time. An important feature of StoreOnce is that they can reserve an amount of storage capacity as protected capacity for a limited time, safeguarding their data against intrusion and other interactions. Based on feedback from customers, StoreOnce is regarded as a highly useful solution for backup. I am satisfied with the security aspects of HPE StoreOnce, but it's crucial for any company to maintain a multi-layer security approach. Starting with a firewall is essential for maintaining their environment. Additionally, security features on StoreOnce are useful. I believe that no company should rely solely on one layer of security; they should adopt a multi-layer security strategy that begins at the network level and extends to their internal solutions.

Creates cost optimization by eliminating required backup agent licenses
One of the current challenges: More than 60TB database, weekly backup taking over two days, and incremental is almost over eight hours. This is extremely resource consuming with a lot of backup duration, etc. Recovery also becomes tough. The one time backup with incremental forever should release us from this pain.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Adhoc restores are now resolved in a sensible time frame"
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that the tool provides good value for somebody who needs an affordable and reliable storage solution."
"Currently, VTLs can only be created on individual service sets and cannot be used to share the resources of other nodes."
"It results in more efficient storage utilization, cutting capital expenditure in half."
"The support for this solution is the best in our country."
"Its catalyst store and deduplication are valuable as it saves disc space."
"Over 51TB of data is backed up and replicated off-site every week quickly and reliably, compared to the laborious tape archiving solution we had in the past."
"StoreOnce scaling has been good."
"The one time backup with incremental forever should release us from this pain."
 

Cons

"It needs to be more versatile to run our tests smoothly."
"The solution would be improved if it could also be used as a data store for VMware."
"They could provide more options for storage capacity. At the moment, they only have an 80-terabyte storage facility."
"We have lost some market due to the minimum capacity now being 80 terabytes."
"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."
"We did some calculations on, when it says in the sales sheet that we got this number of terabytes, but the system itself uses some terabytes. So what we ended up with was having 10 or 11 terabytes less than HP actually said that it would contain."
"It is difficult to solve issues with this solution remotely. I prefer to use the knowledge base platforms. The response time could improve."
"Scalability can become an issue once you grow past the capacity of a single cluster pair."
"We need more time to discover the cons of the product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is pretty expensive."
"The product is not expensive. It is available at a good price."
"With the same capacity of Data Domain and ExaGrid, which is 80 terabytes, HPE is the cheapest one."
"The licensing schemes could improve in HPE StoreOnce and the price is high. They should reduce the price."
"The price puts me off. It's definitely on the high side."
"I would rate it around two or three because, compared to others, it tends to be higher priced."
"The product's pricing is medium."
"The price of the product is reasonable."
