I agree Martin. Really need to know the site configuration to give you the best advice, each solution has its pros and cons. Personally I would avoid shadow protect its not a backup product it's an image solution, Veeam and app assure are proper backup. Solutions…

Either will after the maintenance period expires. They both offer 3,4 or 5 years upfront for maintenance and support. After that they will sting you big time for renewals If you have a lifecycle of say 4 years then get it upfront as there won't be any new charges due…

Oh god I wondered when pure would raise its hand here. Seems to happen on every all flash post like they are desperate to sell systems I wouldn't touch pure they are struggling with sales against HP and EMC with xtremeIO systems. At a guess I would say they will get…

Personally I have worked with and sold Nutanix and wouldn't recommend it. It's expensive and doesn't have full dedupe functionality meaning more storage needed for each vdi deployed. Maxta is a better hyperconverged solution. More cost effective and runs on any vendors…

I would not buy either solution. pure Storage has limitations they don't tell you about and netapp is average as its all WAFL and you lose a lot of usable space. If you want guaranteed performace and future proofing get EMC xtremeIO. More cost effective than the others and…
