Dell XtremIO Reviews

• Speed of operation: We had several SQL databases that pounded EMC CX4-480 and EMC VMAX 20K.
• XtremeIO handles the flow well, running on the controller memory, rather than straight to the drives.

It has offloaded high IOPS processes and cleared the main arrays for bulk work.

I use Dell XtremIO for storage operations, primarily for its scalability and the ability to define and manage complex, multi-domain systems.

Scalability is a significant feature of Dell XtremIO, as it is easy to expand and manage. It provides a lot of features suited for complex systems, such as scalability and the ability to define multi-domain systems, which are beneficial for data management and storage separation. 

It is efficient from the customer's point of view, offering deduplication at both the volume and file levels. The configuration and setup are straightforward, provided one has knowledge in setting up network infrastructure like VLANs. It is easy to install, use, and configure, making it a reliable product.

We use Dell XtremIO for high IOPS. We get backup within 10 minutes. 

Initially, we faced numerous issues with our analytical systems. However, we saw performance improvement after the implementation of the solution. 

I am deploying around fifty LUNs mostly with VMware.

The speed and scalability of Dell XtremIO are significant features that improve data storage management. It effectively supports my customer's high-performance computing needs. My customer has been using this Dell XtremIO box since 2017 and has not experienced any failures.

Several processes that used to take several hours to complete are now taking minutes to complete.

There are advanced features we currently are not utilizing (AppSync, Snaps of Prod, etc.) but they are features we plan to deploy that would bring additional efficiencies.

Speed and reliability: This system hosts several mission-critical, latency-sensitive workloads and XtremIO has delivered on those promises.

We use it for virtual desktops.

It features video pen compression, which is highly effective. Additionally, its data protection mechanisms are robust and resilient, providing significant benefits

Dell Xtremio is great because it's fast. It's much quicker than traditional storage. When I need to find something on SharePoint, it's a lot faster with Dell Xtremio. So, it's really helpful for us.

The feature I like most about Dell Xtremio is its hardware quality compared to other vendors. It's clear they're continuously improving their research and development. Deployment is quick and easy compared to other vendors, saving us time. Updates and support are also hassle-free. Data reduction technology has helped cut storage costs and increase efficiency. So far, Dell Xtremio has been reliable with no downtime or issues.

Dell is super average to use. Dell XtremIO is a fine tool and is a good product. Most people use the performance offered by Dell XtremIO. I tell people that Dell XtremIO is not a tool solely about performance. You can use capacity and a software-driven data storage product with Dell XtremIO. Dell XtremIO is not unified.

The most valuable feature of the solution is its performance. It is not a tool that is driven by capacity or unification.
