ClusterControl ability to automate repetitive tasks has made my work easier and saves me a lot of time. It also offers a very good GUI. Incentivized James Spencer Software Engineer Read full review	Silk K2 works well in our mixed-use virtual environment. I would not hesitate to place any workload on K2, it has always performed well. We use fiber-channel connectivity as it replaced our large legacy storage array, replacing one rack of spinning disks with 4U of flash.
