Uninterrupted upgrades accelerate performance with good support
I would rate the solution eight out of ten. It should be noted that in Pakistan, some parts are not readily available, and we need to import them from Singapore or other countries. We encountered an issue with a customer where the midplane failed and was not available. We had to wait for several days for a replacement, even in a 24/7 support case. Additionally, we faced motherboard failures in the customer's environment, encountering two motherboard failures simultaneously. We obtained one motherboard immediately, yet had to wait ten days for another. These issues should have been resolved promptly given the 24/7 support level.

Has the ability to automatically deal with faulty disks
In terms of the most beneficial features of the product, I would say that during the faulty disk replacement process, the tool automatically ungroups the faulty disk, so from the tool itself, anybody can identify which disk is faulty and then repair it. The data replication part is not enabled in the product that I use since the DRP feature is not enabled. I work with the product's high availability feature. Considering the size of the environment where the product is used, the product offers around 80 to 90 TB of storage space. I won't recommend the product to others who plan to use it. The implementation process of the product would be as per the standard of the organization where it is going to be used. Everyone should have their own organizational data structure as per the data orientation needs. 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

"It is reliable, and it seems like a solid product. It has been working well so far."
"I must say the uninterrupted upgrades of 3PAR, the OS, and its RAID-type system are must-have features."
"The solution is easy to install."
"The InfoSight feature helps us with troubleshooting problems in our environment."
"The product lasts a very long time without having to be replaced. It's had a very long life."
"The ease of management is its most valuable feature. It is so much easier to manage storage on a 3PAR array than anything that we have had before."
"The solution’s deduplication functionality works great. We are getting about a 16:1 dedupe ratio on our VM workloads."
"If it runs, and you don't know about it, that is the best thing that you can have in IT infrastructure. This is what 3PAR does for us."
"​It is very stable."
"The solution's most valuable feature is storage provisioning, which allows me to easily provision the disk space on the servers."
"There have been no fail-stop failures for the last five years."
"​HPE has reliable support for HDD replacement.​"
 

Cons

"The product is quite expensive."
"Here in Algeria, we are facing a lot of trouble finding partners and getting support from HPE. There should be better support here in our country."
"They should add AI-enabled dashboards to the solution."
"The performance of the solution is not good anymore and the software is different from all the other types and is not compatible. There are more negative things at this moment than positive. This is why we are removing them all from our organization this year."
"The solution lacks reliability."
"The solution’s customer support could be improved."
"Cloud integration could be better. They can also add an NVMe to port to that. I would like to see NVMe in the next release. That's the future or the near future for storage. That will give us a real high throughput and some performance."
"The tool needs improvement in the utilization report at the granular level."
"Performance could probably be improve with faster controllers, but it is already an old device. We do have performance problems now, but it is a rather old device, so we have what we have."
"I faced some issues during the disk replacement process in HPE EVA."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The total cost of ownership really is worth every penny."
"HPE 3PAR StoreServ is an expensive solution."
"Our licensing cost are $32,000 annually."
"Cost-wise, it is a little bit on the higher side, but it is an awesome product."
"This product is quite expensive and in addition, we subscribe to 24/7 support with a four-hour response time."
"They have added features, such as the compression and duplication, which have further increased our ROI."
"We have seen ROI. We are able to see more patients now, bringing more money into the practice."
"The solution's price is reasonable."

Measuring Up: EMC XtremIO and HP 3PAR
Leading up to EMC World 2015, IT Central Station asked how I would compare EMC XtremIO and HP 3PAR. Until recently, the flash storage conversation in my organization and many others has centered on XtremIO and Pure Storage, the leaders of the all-flash array (AFA) space. To that end, I've written a…
