User Testimonials
	EMC XtremIO Flash Storage (discontinued)	Western Digital 2u24 Flash Storage Platform (HGST)
Likelihood to Recommend	Discontinued Products XtremIO would be useful for any production storage environment, or even any staging or development environment where performance mattered. It would not be ideal to use for backup storage. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Western Digital No answers on this topic
Pros	Discontinued Products The deduplication and compression is very good. This especially helps for VDI applications. It is easy to setup and map hosts to volumes. The new HTML5 console is much better than the older Java. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Western Digital No answers on this topic
Cons	Discontinued Products Its expensive but worth it Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Western Digital No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Discontinued Products This was one area of real disappointment. EMC support was very slow to schedule work like installations and upgrades. Break/fix support was fairly standard. After the Dell merger, things have started improving but there is a lot left to be desired here. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Western Digital No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Discontinued Products I/O delievered by XtremIO can't be compared with any other flash storage. Existing relationship with vendor and pressure to improve I/O bottleneck was the key objective Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Western Digital No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Discontinued Products Using XtremIO has made our VDI much more palatable for users. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Western Digital No answers on this topic
