HPE 3PAR StoreServ Reviews

I am a solution architect, solution designer. Depending on the customer requirements and type of setup, some use the latest versions while others use previous versions.

The solution is used in production environments and cloning environments. We have cloned it multiple times to get better optimization of the storage usage in terms of deduplication.

HPE 3PAR has all the common storage features like cell provisioning and deduplication. Usually the solution is chosen by the customer as they have a preference, or the setup is already in their environment.

If HPE 3PAR could handle NAS and all things related to NAS, you would not need to have a mixture of different storages, storage boxes, one solution could fit all. 

I have been working with HPE 3PAR StoreServ for 7 years.

HPE 3PAR StoreServ is a stable product.

This solution is scalable.

I have compared HPE 3PAR with NetApp, they have a monopoly over the NAS and can handle NAS very well. 

I would rate HPE 3PAR StoreServ an 8 out of 10  as a solution.

We use HPE 3PAR StoreServ for many purposes, such as our database files.

The solution has been good since it was installed, we have not had many problems. We are trying to upgrade the solution to a more current improved solution because it is at its end of life.

The solution could improve by being able to handle larger data.

I have been using HPE 3PAR StoreServ for a few months. The company has been using the solution for approximately five years. The version we are using is at its end of life, it is a traditional server setup in our environment.

HPE 3PAR StoreServ has been stable.

We're being supported locally, but when we have issues with and we have contacted the HPE support, their support is good, it is quick.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate HPE 3PAR StoreServ an eight out of ten.

I have been using 3PAR for three months. 

It's stable. Although we experienced malfunctions where a virus was running and it failed. 

We have around 1,000 users. 

Their support is very good. They are available in the case of a malfunction.

The initial setup was straightforward. 

I would rate 3PAR a nine out of ten. The stability is the most important.

We primarily use the solution as on-prem with local SAP HANA application servers. We have five of them.

The solution is very stable. We haven't had any malfunctions with it at all.

The product lasts a very long time without having to be replaced. It's had a very long life.

As long as they can keep the solution stable, it will be good. Stability is very important to us.

We've been using the solution for three months at this point.

The solution is stable. We haven't had any issues in that respect in the time we've used it. It doesn't crash or freeze. There aren't bugs or glitches.

We have more than 1,000 users on the product currently.

The technical support has been very helpful. They are responsive and knowledgeable and we've enjoyed working with them. They tend to know if there are any issues before we can even catch anything.

The initial setup was not complex or difficult. It was pretty straightforward and easy.

We're just a customer. We don't have a business relationship with HPE.

I'd recommend the product to others. We've only ever had a good experience with it.

Overall, I would rate the solution nine out of ten.

Our use case is primary storage.

Forest who actually take a back up of our databases, like snapshot, to another volume and snapchat to be melded for a different operating systems, which has helped us tremendously as far as speed and time to completion.

It is very easy to manage. I can provision disks and monitor the performance easily.

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.

We had a rocky start. It has been stable for last year or so.

It should meet our needs going forward.

Support has been great. We find the people knowledgeable, and it is easy to find the right person for anything.

We did have a rocky start. However, support has been with us all the way to remedy issues.

The initial setup was straightforward and easy to setup. It can be done in a couple of days.

It has greatly reduced my management overhead time. Therefore, it has been good.

The performance is pretty good and the usability is excellent. The only thing which will downgrade it is the stability.

The valuable feature for me is the best performance when I source the data. I manage a lot of data and my storage is very low.

I had a lot of problems with storage before. When I implemented this solution, the storage was faster. There is very little down time.

I would like to see better implementation with Veeam.

It is very stable.

The scalability is very easy for this solution.

I have used technical support. They are available 24/7. They provide good support for this solution. I got a replacement part at my site in four hours.

I used Dell. When I changed to 3PAR, it was easier. Dell has delays and didn’t always have equipment. HPE has better service.

When selecting a vendor, I look for support and price.

The setup was straightforward. It was not a complex implementation.

The solution is fast. I’m very excited about it. It's very easy to implement and manage.

• Ease of Use
• Performance
• Stability
• Tiering

Stability has been the greatest benefit of the solution.

Stability is great.

Scalability is good as we have grown the area several times without an issue.

Initial setup was straightforward.

I would recommend the solution to anyone, but check into your environment.

One single rack with the ability to expand and grow as needed. We are not currently using flash, but probably will in the future for some database solutions.

We now have the ability to expand storage on-demand as needed. The application won’t run out of space as it's really easy to add a disk and continue without any interruption.

The management console could be improved, but the newest release already seems much better than the previous version.

We haven’t had any issues or downtime.

Everything was fine when we needed support. So far so good.

We had aging equipment with capacity limitations.

We also looked at EMC.

We look at cost and scalability. We’ve had room to grow as needed based on demand or business needs. We now have 1500 global users.

You should look at 3PAR as it's flexible, stable, and provides the growth and stability you need from a storage solution.
