Allows for centralized management with great interconnectivity

My main use is server management and virtualization This solution allowed us to move from using standalone systems to having all our data center management in one place. The most valuable feature is the interconnectivity, which allows me to use the system across my data centers and makes it easy…

Independently scalable solution with the highest resiliency, low latency and intelligence

It's a very innovative solution for companies. Nowadays, businesses are very dynamic. They are very demanding due to data growth. The product enables users to scale compute and storage independently. Companies can have a dynamic HCI to scale their resources independently. It gives them the flexibility to grow, expand, and scale up however they want. It’s very good for companies. Overall, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"In our implementations, HDS Storage Virtualization has helped in migrating data with the least amount of downtime, compared to other storage technologies."

"This solution allowed us to move from using standalone systems to having all our data center management in one place."

"The replication technology can move data faster than EMC MirrorView and requires less bandwidth. The Storage Virtualization technology is the most mature in the market, outside of IBM’s Storwize (which has a lot of compatibility issues, and EMC’s very expensive VPLEX solution); and it works."

"The technical support services are good."

"We have this feature in Nimble dHCI, wherein we can upgrade individual components in the infrastructure."

"HPE Nimble Storage dHCI's user interface is very easy to work with."

"HPE's InfoSight software, which does the comparative analysis and artificial intelligence built-in in the box, and with Nimble they do well against the competition. Additionally, the dashboards are good."

"The product has cut down a lot of service tickets. Earlier, people complained about slowness."

"Simply being able to move objects and the duplication feature have been quite effective."

"We have the ability to increase the storage without any additional costs."

"I love InfoSite. That gets you a lot of good detailed information."

Cons

"An update to its technology would be good. The G Series has been around for more than five years and HDS seriously needs to ramp up, since the competition has better performance at a lower cost with better features and functionalities. For example, it needs redirect on write Snapshot, preconfigured storage tiering with better IOPS, built-in deduplication technology on hybrid disk, etc."

"An area for improvement would be technical support. In the next release, I would like to see more features added to make this a more complete solution."

"HDS reaches a ceiling depending on model. The G200 cannot transition to G400, the G400 can transition to G600 but cannot transition to G800, which is the top-end model."

"The product is expensive."

"Lacking integration to the cloud."

"Software upgrade is still more complicated than the competitors, so that's an area of improvement."

"The performance of HPE Nimble Storage dHCI could improve. Other solutions, such as Cisco, are better."

"The only issue I'm really running into is we have a SQL server that we're having a lot of high IO latency on one of my drives and it's my data drive from my SQL server. It's not really giving me any good information as to where that latency is coming from, so that's what I'm trying to track down and troubleshoot."

"The solution must be hypervisor-agnostic."

"Sometimes the technical support would get back to us in two hours, but other times it would take them two or even three days to respond."

"The initial setup is a little bit complicated."
