    My experience with Lenovo ThinkSystem DE Series has been commendable and everything has been running smoothly. Data storage and analysis takes place effectively under this platform system giving our teams best insights on planning and decision making on time. All our financial records have great database that is secure and cannot be easily compromised by unauthorized access. The customer support team is reliable and always ready to offer help where needed 24/7.

    Scality
    The team in charge of implementing Scality has to be full stack in order to guarantee the correct functioning of the entire system. However, you have to think very carefully about the balance between servers and disks, perhaps adopting smaller fully populated servers instead of large semi-populated servers, which would mean that over time our disk updates will not have a fully useful life.

    • The overall packaging is not very good. I think it could be more efficient for installation.
    • There are many components in storage servers. This can generally be complex to understand, you have to be patient.

    As an organization, it took us a while to understand the shift from a traditional black box SAN to software-defined storage, but now we are much more certain of what this means. The time invested and the resources were not very high, thanks on the one hand to the technical support and on the other to the coherence and good development of the platform.

    I have not worked with a similar product in our company but this has been a reliable product throughout. It is easy and flexible to work with and the cost is manageable. It has suitable data storage plans that have been favorable to our workload demands. The results have always been positive and Return on Investment was achieved within the planned time. It has been profitable to all our departments meeting all data security requirements and working at reliable speed in file transfer.

    Due to the nature of our business we require extensive encryption and availability for sensitive customer data. The erasure encoding that Scality provides gives us the assurance that documents are rest are never in a state of being downloaded or available to a casual data thief. This is something that can be found with other vendors but at a fraction of the same cost. Having this kind of performance, availability and redundancy at the cost that Scality provides has made a large difference to our organization.

    • Keeping sensitive customer data secure is a must for our organization and Scality has great features to make this happen.
    • We replaced a single SAN with a Scality ring and found performance to improve as we store more and more customer data.
    • Being able to lose various portions of our Scality ring and allow it to continue to service customers while maintaining high performance has been key to our business.
