The new evolution of Command Suite into Hitachi Vantara Ops Center has greatly simplified working with the Hitachi Vantara Storage systems compared to previous management tooling. Use of the whole suite including Performance Analyzer makes managing the entire Hitachi storage ecosystem a full featured and more approachable task. I enjoy the completeness of the solution as well as the integration that they have begun to employ.

The cost and performance of this product are the most important considerations that we had before purchasing it. Since we deployed Lustre everything in file and data management programs has been running effectively. Documentation of clients' contacts is done effectively and the data is securely stored for future reference. The user interface is flexible and any new user can easily work with it.

Cons
Hitachi Vantara
  • Pool management (still best done through SVP)
  • Support for tags/attributes for storage resources would be a wonderful addition
  • Reporting is minimal and difficult to use.
  • Capacity planning (historical baselining + projection of organic growth) is a missing feature

Usability
Hitachi Vantara
The interfaces are well designed and not overly populated with extraneous detail. Disparate but related feature sets are supported via separate interfaces that share a UX look and feel so that it doesn't feel like completely different panes of glass. Copy data management activity is still a bit clunky as it is accomplished via a re-purposed backup tool that was written to handle replicas, images and snapshots) but over all it is useable and has an interesting interface where elements are dragged onto the workflows.

Better reputation to start with, Hitachi appears to have (and thus hopefully will continue to have) great customer service for its products. Moreover, Hitachi Command Suite offered the most comprehensive, in terms of variables and aspects measured, functioning compared to its peers. Other software services were just as clunky, without the extra features, and without the customer service reputation, Hitachi has. So far I/we have been pleased with this selection.

This was my first storage software since I started my role as Marketing Manager. It has always served our department well enhancing the achievement of our marketing goals. Our customer's data is securely managed under a safe database. Access to information and categorization of workloads has been simplified under the Lustre system. It can be easily maintained and the cost can be afforded by both large and small scale businesses.
