Unity SAN in Healthcare
Overall Satisfaction with Dell EMC Unity
We use Dell EMC Unity exclusively for block storage. We have ESXi, Windows, Linux, and AIX hosts attached to this SAN.
Pros
- Simple management interface
- Performance has been very good. No issues with latency.
Cons
- Management is too simple. It would be nice if there was a mode for more advanced users. This is Unity's biggest weakness in my opinion. For an engineer that has been managing enterprise storage for 10+ years, I feel like the Unity is a step backward. While it is super simple for newer engineers, there are configuration options that I wish were available to me as a more experienced user.
- VMware integrations are somewhat clunky and operations are time-consuming.
- It allows us to provide SSD class service to our Tier 2 infrastructure.
