Cloud Storage Platform
Comparison of Cloud Storage Platform features of Dell ECS and Nasuni
Dell ECS is well-suited for organizations that can't afford to store data in the public cloud. It also provides a much cheaper solution to store archived data that is not frequently accessed. However, it's not suitable for small-scale storage requirements as it will not be cost-effective. Also, it can't be used for low-latency databases as it will cause performance issues.

Well suited if you have a lot of data that doesn't need to be stored and read right away. I think even if you don't have much data, you can still use it for it's intended purpose to great effect, but think of it as the more data you have, the even better it will work. I don't think it would be particularly useful if you already have a slick file restore system in place and you don't need to store your data elsewhere with redundancy.

The management console is extremely simple and easy to navigate, making common tasks easy to do.
Our storage appliance is configured to snapshot data several times an hour, making the risk of data loss very low.
Data restores are very intuitive, and take seconds to initiate regardless of whether it is one file or 300GB of data. We have successfully restored many Gigs of data in minutes.

Dell ECS is working well for our organisation. On the one hand, we can leverage cloud technology; on the other, we can keep it in our own data centre, thus ensuring full security for sensitive data. With Dell ECS, we are saving a lot on the monthly bill that we used to pay for the cloud storage solution.

As I mentioned, the user interface is amazing and straight forward. It's very easy to learn how to configure and restore files. I would like a bit more reporting, especially in terms of live reporting and monitoring. The support is great when you have a question on how to do something, which helps with usability.

Again, it may have a little to do with the size and speed of your own environment, but we've been nothing but pleased with the speed of access of the files - even pulling old files from the cloud storage. Recovery of huge and many data files is a bit slow if you don't have the specs of the filer up to snuff.

Because of Dell's proven reliability and stability, it's well-suited to large enterprises compared to its competitors. Its Geo-distribution technology protects data across sites in a very cost-effective manner. It supports storage for both modern and legacy applications. Its archive storage costs are much lower than those of its competitors. It saves monthly bills as we own the hardware.

The technical support and escalation path for Nasuni is much more reliable and efficient. No getting transferred to various teams. Often times, the person who answers your call is able to resolve your issue. If they cannot, they get the case assigned to the appropriate engineer right away. Time to close has always been very good.

Dramatically reduced time spent managing our storage platform. Quotas and reporting tools take all the guesswork out of data growth. Updates are easy to deploy. Time freed up can be used for more user-facing activities that we consider more valuable to the organization.
The overall stability of the platform has been very good. We have been running on the same hardware for the past four years without any performance issues.
