Enterprise storage system that offers consistent stability and data security
The replication capability and data security have been the most valuable features When retrieving data from the replication of remote sites, it does not give you immediate results. The RPO and RTO rates could be improved.  We have been using this solution for three and a half years. This is a…

It's really fast, flexible new technology and we don't have any bottlenecks due to speed
It's really fast, flexible and new technology. We don't have any bottlenecks due to speed. We can snapshot all the data to object storage and replicate it to another site using the object storage features. You can take as many snapshots as you want to back up all your data. There's no limit to cluster size, so you can grow as many WEKA cluster nodes as you want. Apart from snapshots of data to object storage, you can also tier the data, which is a different procedure. They can provide huge bandwidth or throughput to a single client. This is a very special platform for working with high-performance computing. You can use a server like a DGX or an NVIDIA and provide individual clients with almost 200 gigabytes per second. This is where PowerScale and Isilon have major limitations. We don't have such limitations with Weka. That's why it's been indicated for high-performance computing clusters. I'm very excited to work with this platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is not necessarily for the fastest storage or cluster storage, but just for pure storage, it's really hard to beat. It's just been around as long as anything else."
"Oracle ZFS is very fast and it is efficient. It has outperformed any hardware array controller that I've ever come across. With Oracle ZFS on my NAS, which is running five, four terabyte drives, when I've had a drive failure and changed one out, it'll rebuild that array in two hours, or maybe less. When you think you're rebuilding almost four terabytes of data redundancy, that's pretty good using an old AMD Turion hardware, that's nothing to complain about."
"The replication capability and data security have been the most valuable features."
"There's no limit to cluster size, so you can grow as many WEKA cluster nodes as you want."
 

Cons

"ZFS is great for just mass storage, but if you're trying to make fast storage – something like a SAN-type delivery network where you wanted to do any type of RAM disc over the network – it falls flat. ZFS does not do that. It is kind of limiting."
"When retrieving data from the replication of remote sites, it does not give you immediate results. The RPO and RTO rates could be improved."
"Oracle ZFS does what I've asked it to do, and it has done it very efficiently. The only time I'm running into issues is with Proxmox. If I run ZFS drives, I find my RAM usage is very high. However, I don't have that problem with the TrueNAS system, where I'm running an old N36 Turion with four gigabytes of RAM, and that's running 24/7. There have been no issues with such a low-powered environment there, it works fine, but with Proxmox it seems to go slow."
"If the product included synchronous replication and VLAN integration, I would rate it 10 out of 10."
