Enterprise Flash Array Storage Solutions

EMC 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.

It occupies a large floor space in the data center.
Unisphere management interface uses Java, which is problematic to run.

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.

The 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

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

Our 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.

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.
