We're only using it on-prem at the moment

We're using FlashSystem to address our disk performance issue. We're using the FlashSystem for one of our core banking system.

Pros and Cons

Scheduled snapshot
Ease of use GUI
Safeguarded snapshot creation

Safeguarded snapshot that is really safe, and can't be deleted even by the user (need to log case to delete it)
More detailed performance monitoring in the GUI (per volume, per host)
Volume protection setting can't be changed by user (need to log case to change it)

Return on Investment

Much faster response time
Simplified management, consolidated storage in 1 single box
Better data security(encryption, safeguarded copy)

Performance

9

We notice a very high improvement over our previous storage and this benefit the organization greatly

Alternatives Considered
