    For SMB file storage Exablox is great, but as an ESXi datastore it still needs work.

    Infinio is best suited for infrastructure that has high-latency read IO performance challenges. It does nothing to help write IO, so keep in mind the type of workload for which you need to reduce latency. If you have traditional SAS or SATA storage, Infinio has a tremendous impact on the response time of many applications. You can build your cluster's caching pool from either available RAM or an internal drive inside each host. This flexibility helps Infinio to be suitable across many types of environments.

    Cons
    Arcserve
    • Exablox is still in its infancy as a company and in some respects the product feels like a version 1.0.
    • Integration with VMware ESXi has some bugs that need to be figured out.

    • The interface needs a way to allow for RBAC so everyone is not an admin.
    • Alerts should be configurable whenever a VM or host is not functioning correctly.

    The price for Exablox was very appealing. If we can resolve the NFS datastore issues we are seeing in VMware, this is a perfect solution for a ESXi datastore. Once that issue is resolved, I will give Exablox a higher rating.

    Performance
    Arcserve
    SMB file access has been very responsive. We have not seen any slowness. Also, in using Exablox as tier 1 storage in our VMware environment, the VMs performed great. No slowness issues.

    Alternatives Considered
    Arcserve
    Exablox was much less expensive than other storage arrays and I think there are a lot of reasons to purchase them. I believe that as the product matures, it will be a great option for storage.

    Infinio has no real market competition. There was a tool called Pernix FVP that did both read/write acceleration that I evaluated that became end-of-life while it was in POC. It was more complicated to deploy and remove than Infinio and required downtime for each host. Also, the fact that it was no longer supported made the decision to choose Infinio easy.

    Scalability
    Arcserve
    We have not tried to scale Exablox so we are not familiar with this.

    • We purchased Exablox specifically for our ESXi environment, so we are hoping to get the wrinkles worked out to see a greater return on our investment.
