Disk Based Backup Systems

We use Dell PowerVault at our college for our storage and tape in our backup and video security solutions.

Tape Solution
Small Business Solution
Good for direct attached storage purposes like video security.

The solution isn't really for large enterprise solutions except for direct attached solutions.

If you need a lot of disks attached to a system, PowerVault is the way to go.
The cost of the unit is reasonable, and you can extend the life of the unit pretty far.

Dell EqualLogic PS Series, Compellent and Pure Storage

We have the PowerVault deployed in 3 different locations. We use it internally for corporate infrastructure as well as dedicated to clients. It serves as both primary data storage as well as back up storage for some clients.

Simple to set up.
Single pane of glass to monitor several arrays.
Ability to scale.

Maintenance is tough. Dell recommends bringing the unit down for any kind of maintenance of upgrades.
Internal IOPS monitoring could be greatly improved.
Arrays are locked down to Dell licensed disks.

It has provided a great start for our business. Great entry into our client base.
Not great when you want to scale.

The core storage for the enterprise front-ended by vmware esxi running the very lastest of Microsoft domain services and Exchange along with 100 virtual desktops. At the time using gigabit links with procurve switches.

I have to say even the EqualLogic stuff is better however PowerVaults are well worth the money.

as a tech/network guy i dont care for ROI... it works.
