The change resolved many coding issues that we had which required a long development process to resolve performance which become not critical - clearing time for new product features. Dramatic operational relief. Improved scale and budget planning with flexibility of the solution for budget needs and efficiency for growth with the great optimization ratio due to the nature of our use.

Standard-based monitoring means we aren't locked in to using platform-specific or proprietary tooling to track and monitor our device performance. Built-in snapshot support gives us SAN-side functionality most other platforms would have had us license separately. Unexpectedly high compression ratios give us more capacity for our investment; again without a nickel-and-dime licensing model. Rocketing IOPS results in performance we don't have to fixate on. We can instead focus efforts on other layers in the stack, knowing that our SAN layer is lightning fast, with capacity to spare.

They might not like me saying this, but I would love to see capacity on its DRAM. I know it's not cost effective for them to do it, but I think that it could be a big differentiator and was a big differentiator from the beginning. It might make the reseller's jobs easier. Not having to wait for something; just give them the quote for the amount of time, they can have as much as they want. That message resonated very well with customers, as you can imagine, so I wish that came back. I understand why it's not there, financially it doesn't make sense, but I wish it were still around. I wish they had more ISP or certified partnerships with specific use cases. For instance, epic and health care would be a huge use case that I know they're working on. But there's a few of those, like epic and health care where it might not matter if it's the best technology, the best people, or the best support system. If it's not on a specific list or a conference level, I think if they worked hard at what they're doing at getting these ISPs and specific application awarenesses to these companies that it would be gold mine.

"Implementation of the solution is very simple."
"Inline compression"
"The increased performance is many times above our previous array performance in all metrics. Integration with vSphere features is also a definite plus."

Room for Improvement

"Improved scale and budget planning with flexibility of the solution for budget needs and efficiency for growth with the great optimization ratio due to the nature of our use."
"The front panel of the drive shelf doesn't always seat firmly."

Pricing
