Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, NetApp, Nasuni and others in NAS."The solution is scalable and has varying degrees of scalability."
"It's very easy to manage."
"High availability and enhanced security; Proven dependability; Data compression with hardware acceleration; Advanced copy services features are all in this product."
"The installation is nice and easy."
"The most valuable features are deduplication and compression, which together, enable you to have more space."
"The solution allows for easy migrations from previous products or vendors via its embedded storage virtualization function."
"FlashSystem offers proven technology in a compact package."
"The initial setup was really straightforward. It was not complex. Deployment took one month, due to the data migration duration."
"Mostly, their support is also great at reacting to issues but moreover, proactive to prevent issues."
"This product has good performance."
"Enterprise data storage needs improvement. They should create a feature for data and file storage."
"Product support is restricted to IBM only. It must be decentralized to IBM partners as well."
"It could be easier to implement."
"The data reduction pool feature sucks and is not recommended for use with heavy workloads."
"I think the only thing the developers can look at, is that it is limited to 25 gigabytes currently. In the next release they might want to increase that."
"If you want to expand, you cannot expand the disc enclosure. You have to buy a total individual node. Sometimes, this is difficult because we are just looking for capacity and not a node."
"The solution has a low number of NVME host attachments at 16 per IO group over the fiber channel."
"They don't offer subscription-based payments."
"InfiniBox, right now, offers only asynchronous replication between two storages."
