Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use the product to create storage networks (SAN) for our clients to whom we sell and manage servers and storage, it is an easy device to understand, configure and manage, we have had no problems in the implementation and the device performs its function in a very good way
Pros
  • The ease of configuration
  • Ease of administration
  • Growth according to usage needs
Cons
  • the graphical administration interface
  • the help of options and/or parameters of the commands that is broader
  • Make software and firmware updates more user-friendly
Likelihood to Recommend
In my experience with this equipment we have installed it for clients with different characteristics, in manufacturing companies with the configuration between their virtual environment and storage, in clients with storage in different sites making communication and data transfer between them, also in clients with SAP HANA where servers from different platforms and storage communicate
Return on Investment
  • installation and configuration in less time, that makes it more economical
  • Easier administration
  • The support given is minimal, which makes the staff carry out other productive activities.
Alternatives Considered
This equipment model was selected for the characteristics it has which perfectly covered the functionality requirement in the implementations that were carried out, also for the ease of installation, configuration, administration and growth that it has.
Customers have been satisfied with all the benefits of the equipment and above all that it is not necessary to invest too much time in its administration, since once implemented nothing else has to be done and the maintenance time used is the minimum since it is a very reliable and safe team
