    Given its IO performance and bandwidth limitations, deploying this system in an enterprise-level setting would be impractical. However, it can effectively serve in non-production environments where demands are lower. Despite its unsuitability for heavy-duty tasks, the system offers valuable features such as straightforward configuration for data replication to its array partner. This replication capability enhances data backup processes, providing a reliable solution for safeguarding critical information in less demanding operational scenarios.

    If you are looking for a backup infrastructure which is efficient and compatible for both file system and block level backup, then HPE StoreOnce is a great choice. It's easy to configure and easy to manage. We didn't have to hire a separate storage expert to set up StoreOnce for us. The HPE team helped our system admins and it was a easy to configure.

    My team who are currently administering HPE StoreOnce do not come from a storage background. We still didn't had to struggle much configuring and using HPE StoreOnce. Of course, HPE team was very helpful in smooth technology transition. For critical errors, we already have phone home feature enabled and HPE support team has been excellent and their response time in dealing with technical errors/incidents.

    We picked Dell EqualLogic PS Series based on combination price/capacity/performance parameters. Unfortunately, in my opinion, not all of what we were promised came true.

    Some of our staff have worked with Baracuda, so it was a recommended product. But after our evaluation, we decided to use StoreOnce because of the types of backup, ease of administration, and cost savings.

    • While not completely eliminating tape, it has relegated the use of tape to monthly and annual backups for compliance. It has reduced the recurring expense of tape media.
    • It has increased the length of the retention period because of its efficiency in storing backups.
    • The online backup repositories are now replicated to the secondary datacenter, a capability not possible with tapes.
