Long-distance, high-latency replication enhancements would be delightful to see in future versions.
Steve McLeod - PeerSpot reviewer
Jul 18, 2024
Since it's a slightly cutting-edge technology, we had to put in quite a lot of new fabric and stuff for it. That's probably the only thing people need to be aware of—to make sure you've got everything sorted out upfront to make the implementation smooth and fast.

I do not have any requirements. They can maybe have more flexibility for configurations or things like that.
SewakKhurana - PeerSpot reviewer

When you configure it, the system has to be connected to the Internet. Otherwise, you cannot configure it. That is the most difficult part. They need to have something that does not require a connection to the Internet.
