EMC VNX is suited for VMware environment as it integrates with vCenter.Integrates well with SolarWinds storage monitoring software.It is well suited for enterprise-level organizations with 100+ servers.It is not suited for small businesses as it requires specialized administrators and has relatively high license cost.It is not suited for businesses that host most of their servers on the cloud.Incentivized
Large scale data storage: Red Hat Ceph Storage is designed to be highly scalable and can handle large amounts of data. It's well suited for organizations that need to store and manage large amounts of data, such as backups, images, videos, and other types of multimedia content.Cloud-based deployments: Red Hat Ceph Storage can provide object storage services for cloud-based applications such as SaaS and PaaS offerings. It is well suited for organizations that are looking to build their own cloud storage infrastructure or to use it as a storage backend for their cloud-based applications.High-performance computing: Red Hat Ceph Storage can be used to provide storage for high-performance computing (HPC) applications, such as scientific simulations and other types of compute-intensive workloads. It's well suited for organizations that need to store Incentivized
VNX has had very solid uptime. Over the course of the last 5 years, we have had very little if any downtime.We have also used it for our home directories, and with the data dedupe on the file side it has saved us a lot of space.Adding additional drive space has also been really easy.Incentivized
Highly resilient, almost every time we attempted to destroy the cluster it was able to recover from a failure. It struggled to when the nodes where down to about 30%(3 replicas on 10 nodes)The cache tiering feature of Ceph is especially nice. We attached solid state disks and assigned them as the cache tier. Our sio benchmarks beat the our Netapp when we benchmarked it years ago (no traffic, clean disks) by a very wide margin.Ceph effectively allows the admin to control the entire stack from top to bottom instead of being tied to any one storage vendor. The cluster can be decentralized and replicated across data centers if necessary although we didn't try that feature ourselves, it gave us some ideas for a disaster recovery solution. We really liked the idea that since we control the hardware and the software, we have infinite upgradability with off the shelf parts which is exactly what it was built for.Incentivized
It occupies a large floor space in the data center.Unisphere management interface uses Java, which is problematic to run.Incentivized
GUI based mainetenence should be developedUnable to detect storage latenciesVM to disk mapping should be visible so as to save some critical applications data in case of HDD failuresIncentivized
Dell EMC Unity is the improved version of EMC VNX. It has all the features in VNX with better performance.NetApp all flash is faster and more expensive. It performs better with Citrix systems and VDI solutions.HP MSA storage system is less performant and less expensive. It works better for file and CCTV data storage.Incentivized
MongoDB offers better search ability compared to Red Hat Ceph Storage but it’s more optimized for large number of object while Red Hat Ceph Storage is preferred if you need to store binary data or large individual objects. To get acceptable search functionality you really need to compile Red Hat Ceph Storage with another database where the search metadata related to Red Hat Ceph Storage objects are stored.Incentivized
I think it has provided improved reliability and performance [compared to] our previous solutions.The lack of performance metrics has led us to need a 3rd party tool that integrates into our Vsphere environment to give us feed back on performance.Incentivized
Ceph allows my customer to scale out very fast.Ceph allows distributing storage objects through multiple server rooms.Ceph is fault-taulerant, meaning the customer can lose a server room and would still be able to access the storage.Incentivized
