Ease of use: My installers - my administrators over the system - they love how easy and fast it is to install and spin up a LUN and get going.

The capacity that we're saving by using Kaminario's K2 is giving us a four-to-one ratio for our deduplication.

Built-in snapshot support gives us SAN-side functionality most other platforms would have had us license separately.

The speed and, for us in particular in what we're doing, the data de-duplication.

The increased performance is many times above our previous array performance in all metrics. Integration with vSphere features is also a definite plus.

I would love to see capacity on its DRAM. I know it's not cost effective for them to do it, but I think that it could be a big differentiator and was a big differentiator from the beginning.

Improved scale and budget planning with flexibility of the solution for budget needs and efficiency for growth with the great optimization ratio due to the nature of our use.

I would like to see them work with Cisco, so it comes off the FIs, instead of having to go through my 10-gig network.

I would like to see LDAP for the management panel; I've been notified they might be currently working on it.

Some of the nice to haves for us, in terms of today, would be VVols but again, it’s not a critical feature.

I'm hoping to see Active Directory integration. Right now, you still have to use a local admin account to log in and manage everything.

The front panel of the drive shelf doesn't always seat firmly.

The system currently has a 15TB LUN size limit and that snapshots need to be scheduled through script API instead of the GUI.

Access to technical support should be improved for our region. Technical support is good, but they're very hard to access.
