EMC offers VNX, flash storage options.https://media.trustradius.com/product-logos/Mg/4h/765S3UIBPCXT.pngDell EMCEMC VNX: Great while it lasted2019-03-03T01:36:06.191ZEMC VNX is one of the primary storage arrays that is used across the whole organization. It provides the storage platform that all corporate servers are running on.,Stable platform.
Good support.,It occupies a large floor space in the data center.
Unisphere management interface uses Java, which is problematic to run.,2,Due to its stability, it is very rare to have downtime—meaning business operations are not interrupted from an infrastructure level.
Support and maintenance can be expensive.,Dell EMC Unity and EMC Symmetrix VMAX,VMware Horizon (formerly VMware View), VMware ESXi, Cisco UCS B-SeriesSam MajamA reliable storage system for medium to large organizations2018-11-02T22:25:10.742ZThe EMC VNX is the main storage system used by the whole organization but managed exclusively by the IT department. It mainly hosts the VMware servers and Unix Servers. The Unity feature allowed us to configure CIFS NAS storage for file sharing too. The EMC VNX has an auto-tiering feature which solved the delay problem we had in older storage systems. It has the ability to scale up and out.,Auto- tiering, for faster access on blocks used most frequently
Has both NAS and SAN ( unified system)
Scale up ability
Optimal for VMware
Integrates with vCenter
Easy monitoring and useful dashboards
Relatively easy configure and management interface with safe delete,Much slower compared to all-flash systems
Navigation in the web interface is not smooth
CIFS NAS is not easy to integrate with active directory,7,With 2 boxes located in different datacenters, configured as active-active, the reliability of our services increased.
The 400+ vmware servers hosted on VNX had faster response time
Our admins had less to non downtime on the storage level
The negative impact was mainly draining the budget,NetApp All Flash FAS, HP StorageWorks MSA and Dell EMC Unity,SolarWinds IPAM, SolarWinds Virtualization Manager, Dell EMC UnityTimothy SawahMy take on EMC VNX2017-09-27T15:57:16.310ZOur VNX is our primary SAN storage. It has been a very reliable and solid storage solution.,VNX has had very solid uptime. Over the course of the last 5 years, we have had very little if any downtime.
We have also used it for our home directories, and with the data dedupe on the file side it has saved us a lot of space.
Adding additional drive space has also been really easy.,The UI is very clunky and uses Java, which I am not a big fan of.
It is difficult to see performance metrics or utilization. Tegile or Nimble provide a superior window into your performance and IOPS on LUNs and VMs.,7,I think it has provided improved reliability and performance [compared to] our previous solutions.
The lack of performance metrics has led us to need a 3rd party tool that integrates into our Vsphere environment to give us feed back on performance.,Tegile and Nimble Storage,OnBase by Hyland, vSphere, Windows ServerRyan Andrus
