Overall Satisfaction with HPE Nimble Storage
We are currently using HPE Nimble Storage for our primary and disaster recovery VMware datastores. These are setup as replication partners between our production site and our disaster recovery site to allow for quick and easy failover in the event of our production site becoming unavailable. Before using HPE Nimble Storage, we were relying on storing our backups in the cloud which would then require a long process to recover from in the event of a disaster.
Pros
- Replicating between sites
- Compressing data on volumes
- Deduplicating data on volumes
- Customer service
Cons
- The feature set is pretty broad and could be overwhelming at first
- Made disaster recovery simple with replication
- Simplified our VMware datastores
- Has made reporting and alerting easier
We used a Dell EqualLogic PS Series storage array for many years and it worked well. A big issue was that upgrading firmware required system downtime and during one upgrade I was unable to bring the systems back up afterwards. I spent several days on the phone over a holiday weekend with Dell and VMware support in order to get my systems back up and running. It made me very nervous about doing firmware upgrades after that.
