We are using Dell EMC Unity as storage for VMware Storage and file sharing for Windows based in our clients' projects. We also used this storage for pre-production environment servers. This product allows us to create multiple copies of any database. We have used this product as a NAS file server and it's easy to upgrade storage when required.

Likelihood to Recommend

Dell EMC Unity is well designed for pre-production environments and other normal usage. A big company setup may not consider this product for critical production environments.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Dell EMC Unity is used as storage for 1. Any type of data is structured or unstructured 2. Storing the various types of image-related data 3. Archiving any type of historical data in a compressed manner

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited when needs to deal with different types of data like structured, unstructured, image, blobs, etc. It is not so good when dealing with networking file system data.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Dell EMC Unity is an easy solution and all its components are easy to set and understand how they perform and easy manipulation through the system dashboard which is also very simple to adapt. Dell EMC Unity allows easy data moving and easy to monitor multiple processes of different data and other information easily and the reporting using Dell EMC Unity is cost-effective.

Likelihood to Recommend

Dell EMC Unity is an easy system and very flexible component and very easy to navigate while providing effective services and management of multiple project information management and the data pulling from the supported third-party platform is easy and quick. Excellent reporting features and easy to use and the analytics tools are amazing.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Dell EMC Unity as a storage array for VMware storage. Also, we use the unity array for file storage based on Windows File sharing. For connection, we use the onboard CNA connections at 10GBit\s. The array is managed thru a user-friendly GUI. For the support and upgrades, we rely on the Dell EMC support team.

Likelihood to Recommend

Dell EMC unity is well suited for storage environments in the small range, mid-range up to high-end range storage array's. Configuration is made easy with user-friendly GU, even the first deployment can be done with GUI.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The client uses the solution for Oracle databases in the development and pre-production environment. It doesn't affect the gold and silver application area. The Dell EMC Unity storage enables customer developers to create multiple copies of any databases within its feature of array snapshot. Not forgetting, DEU applied to the Oracle databases analysis, how

it can help customers with data compression and space savings. These

savings are visible in the storage space cost.

Likelihood to Recommend

Midrange storage level solution for customers who want "test" databases functionality in a pre-production environment. Ideal for development environment with compares to other storage products. Costs are less than for faster performance-tuned types. A very important factor is to have not only support from Dell but a local person with knowledge of DEU elements.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The Dell EMC Unity is being used as a network-attached storage file server that hosts file sharing for the bulk of our employees. Prior to Unity, the file shares were hosted on a physical server running Windows OS. We needed a system that could do exactly what the file data between two data storage servers connected to a computer network providing data access to a heterogeneous group of clients.

Likelihood to Recommend

After considering some of the solutions from other vendors, we chose Dell EMC Unity. We were price-conscious and wanted to choose a device that would bring a familiar amount of money to the table. I was looking for a device that could support a flash drive as a read cache for my frequently used files, but I also needed a device that fits my size and budget.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We currently use the Dell EMC Unity as a NAS file server hosting file shares for the majority of our users. Prior the unity we were using a Physical server running Windows OS to host the file shares. We were looking for a solution that would replicated the file data between two data centers with very low RPO. The EMC unity's hosted in both datacenters allows for a 60 minute RPO in case of a DR event.

Likelihood to Recommend

The Dell EMC Unity is best suited for SMB workloads where ease of use and administration needs to be the focus. For our specific use case it is perfectly suited as a NAS file server and is easy to upgrade storage when required (although not inexpensive). In prior positions it was also used for vmware datastores which worked similarly as the older VNX models.
