Overall Satisfaction with Dell EMC SC Series (Compellent)

[Dell EMC SC Series (Compellent)] allows us to manage data at a higher level. We utilize it to manage storage easily and move data between storage tiers. In deployment situations, this program has been used to protect data against any downtown and disaster. The storage center helps us cut the time and the cost/risk of managing the storage.
  • Decreases time management
  • Easy to manage
  • Meets all business needs
  • Works poorly when there are massive issues such as snapshots
  • Modification of multiple volumes or the creation of them
  • Assistance with high I/O times where snapshots are consolidating
  • Platform independence meaning we are able to scale up and out without downtime
  • Migration occurs automatically at a set time defined by the user; saving time
  • Granular approach optimizes tiering
I have used Dell EMC Unity XT and I will say that the SC Series is better in the areas of the scalability is excellent. If I need more space, it's a no downtime solution. It's harder to get the funding than it is to get the solution itself. In addition, I like the way it integrates with our environment. These features help us use multiple soft applications. They give us an advantage versus traditional storage resources.
