Chose Hitachi Content Platform (HCP)
My company has close ties with Hitachi. NetApp chargeback was more per Gig and for cost saving purposes, we had to choose HCP.

Chose Zadara Cloud Platform
Zadara is a new cloud provider, so it does not have all functionalities and features as its major competitors like Amazon Cloud and MS Azure. It is up to you to test it, but personally, I still prefer MS Azure as a cloud provider.

I only used it as a proof of concept for some products. For me, it seemed to be focused on the European market, but it´s a pretty new cloud provider in comparison to other major competitors like Amazon and Azure which are much more developed, so they are still missing some functionality and features.

Cons
  • Cost structure is by capacity and is expensive
  • Some access settings are mutually exclusive for performance (REST vs. CIFS)
  • QoS by Tenant requires use of external ADC (Hitachi suggested and sold us Pulse Secure) and their support on this product offering is not up to their normally high standard

  • VMs misses some functionality like being able to swap the boot disk.
  • To allocate storage to the VM, you need to configure iscsi connections from both ends.
  • Marketplace still missing major products.

[Hitachi Content Platform (HCP)] has all of the features of competitive offerings and wraps them in a better multi-tenancy solution. It's object level permission model and non-overridable immutability (in Compliance mode for configured namespaces) is a bump up compared to other solutions. It's offering of it's own API as well as S3 REST support make it very flexible.

Return on Investment
  • Best on premise solution of its' kind that encapsulates all our needs
  • ROI has been positive but it does raise questions at renewal time in terms of cost/GB vs other 2nd tier storage types

  • No real impact, as I only used it for some proof of concept.
  • New cloud provider still missing some features and functionality.
  • An alternative cloud provider hopefully cheaper than its competitors.
