    Definitely would recommend this unit or this family of units into most peoples organizations. Especially if you're starting fresh with a whole dedicated SAN and dont have to move a ton of data over to these (though that is possible, it is very messy). If you're moving from existing storage, then you will have to be prepared for some sore spots!

    • Costs are high, especially when having to replace multiple old SAN's with the one type
    • There is alot of down time when you have to push updates out to the units
    • Not sure we still have the full hang of all the functions as there's some pretty deep functions that are not explained well

    With VMware cloud, each VMware Cloud customer must have an SDDC account(VMC) as well as a general AWS account. The two accounts must be linked for the service to work which is a tiresome thing to do for some clients but with IBM Cloud Private all these issues are solved.
