Cloudian HyperStore vs. Quest QoreStor

I think the strong suite here is backup and recovery of data, very fast recovery times which are essential in any environment. Smaller companies who have limited budget and may not reap the tangible benefits due to smaller IT departments. Learning curve is required and with a small staff, many companies do not have the luxury of having to learn a more complex product.

The product can be run on-premises or in the cloud. It is a fantastic option to reduce the size and storage requirements of backup jobs. If your backup system can already produce a reliable reduction in storage up to 75% then I would say the QoreStor appliance would be irrelevant in your case. It does not perform backups itself. It is simply an extra step to reduce size, encrypt and offload backups to the cloud. this reduces the load on a backup system to handle other tasks while the QoreStor takes over.

• Disaster recovery from a populated cloud bucket needs improvement
• It would be nice to have some limited integration into the KACE SMA product
• The appliance is low resource use and virtual, but better access to system settings would be nice.

The support team is the main reason I am sticking to Quest/KACE products. They are stellar to work with and always responsive when I need help. The team listens to the user's recommendations for added features and tends to add the ones that really have merit. Support is everything when it comes to working with such a company

At the end of the day, it's about return on investment with products, ease of use in the environment, support of the product. Many of these products are very good and do exactly what they say they can do, but in today's times, companies are very strict with budgetary dollars and want the most bang for the buck. HyperStore was proven thru demonstrations that it was a cohesive fit, but again it comes down to cost.

When I evaluated the Dell system it was an entirely new server on-site, with licensed levels of inlocking the storage it had on board. For a smaller organization, the Dell system was not cost-effective with a large upfront payment, and additional hardware to manage on-site. The QoreStor system was a virtual machine that could pop into my current system and just use allocated storage already in place. In addition, the upfront cost was dramatically less than the Dell option and no additional hardware
