Kazi Amranul Houqe - PeerSpot reviewer
Great features that allow for supervision of storage, management of users and driver-related updates
It needs to be segregated if you compare the EMC storage with HP and IBM. We have to identify the reliability of the fiber channel ports. If this can be improved, it will be better for the end-user. There are issues if you manage through the sensory in the fiber channel. We want to be able to manage things like storage, hosting, details about the mount point, and how much IOP is collapsed to which host in any single console. In addition, it will help us to identify and segregate the issues blocks.
