I like the integration with VMware and the provisioning
StoreServ is one of several storage solutions we use, and we also have some SAP and high-availability application workloads. We use it for storage and also as a backup repository.  I like the integration with VMware and the provisioning. We also use data compression but not for any of the…

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

"I do not have to worry about cross systems talking to each other or multiple systems trying to interact with each other. Our entire vCenter infrastructure is one large stack, which is nice."
"It was straightforward, simple, and easy to set up, along with the OneView tools, for managing both compute and storage."
"It has allowed us to set up a fully functioning disaster recovery site with replication, which we have been able to configure between our 3PAR systems."
"Resilience and reliability, unmatched. They take good care of us."
"This solution has given us improved application uptime and performance."
"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."
"Technical support for both 3PAR and Dell EMC in my country, Iran, is very difficult because we are under sanctions."
"We're hosting virtual infrastructure on the 3PAR storage and it's been very good for that."
"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.​"
"​It is very stable."
 

Cons

"Although we experienced malfunctions where a virus was running and it failed."
"The configuration and flexibility should improve."
"I would like to see improvement in the product's scalability. As a partner, I had serious problems because of the competition from Dell EMC and Pure."
"The management interface is not intuitive."
"We are still waiting for the compression feature to be deployed."
"There were a few goofy things with support where we were trying to do OS upgrades and HPE MyRoom failed. However, they would not get on WebEx because they are only allowed to get on HPE MyRoom."
"The Unified Multiprotocol Access to the storage array needs to be improved."
"I would like to see the reliability improve. While it has been a good product, the QA of the product could be done a little more thoroughly."
"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

"Making the decisions to buy it can be complex."
"I would like it to be cheaper."
"The licensing cost for HPE 3PAR StoreServ is expensive."
"I rate the tool's pricing an eight out of ten. It is expensive."
"It is lower in price as compared to other vendors, such as Dell. As compared to Huawei, all storage solutions are expensive, including this one."
"This product is quite expensive and in addition, we subscribe to 24/7 support with a four-hour response time."
"As a school, we always have​ low budgets. We are a nonprofit organization. We do not have too much budget, so we care about prices, discounts, and especially about the product quality. The last 16 years, we have been an HPE customer. We are very much happy with HPE products."
"We purchased the solution as CapEx and we only pay support now. I find the pricing fantastic."

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…
