Dell VPLEX Reviews

Corporate storage for VMware, databases, and file servers supporting a multi-vendor structure with several storage models.

• Hot storage maintenance
• Vendor agnostic environment
• High availability
• Data recovery (DR)

Storage virtualization and geographic resilience for Metro Sans, plus a great performance improvement.

• VPLEX hardware migration to spare equipment in case of major disruption.
• Today, it needs a huge effort that is not acceptable during disaster recovery.

The ability to move disks online without disruption to the environment.

Ability to create geographically distributed clusters.

Possibility to replicate volumes with storage devices from multiple vendors.

The production environment needs improvement.

I have used VPLEX for five years.

We experienced increases in latency in accesses to disks and some bugs on engines.

I did not have problem with scalability.

There were delays in solving problems.

I have two solutions: HPE 3PAR and VPLEX.

It is very laborious to allocate volumes on servers.

The VPLEX, along with the RecoverPoint price, can raise the price a lot.

Due to the large number of models and different brands it is a very good solution to virtualize volumes.

Evaluate the native features and a possibility of a good integration with the RecoverPoint.
