How are customer service and support?

It has the best technical support because technical support is very important for this country because their reference is very, very hard to access for this solution. Technical support is very good.

How was the initial setup?

The implementation of the solution is very simple. You just need to create a LAN and mount the host.

What other advice do I have?

We use the private cloud deployment model.

I would rate this solution seven out of ten. If you need about high IOM, I would advise that you buy this device. You need to ensure you really need it for your organization, however, as it is quite expensive.

The ratio between the physical storage and the storage we use is high.

Pros and Cons

"The ratio between the physical storage and the storage we use is very high."

"I think it should have better performance with small files. With big data, its performance is top notch, but it is difficult to load small files."

Valuable Features

It has a very good duplication rate; very, very good. The ratio between the physical storage and the storage we use is very high. Good performance.

Room for Improvement

I think it should have better performance with small files. With big data, its performance is top notch, but it is difficult to load small files.

Stability Issues

We had problems before. It crashed a couple of times, but we had good support from Kaminario. They gave us another storage app and we could replicate between the two, so if the crashes continued, we had another app. They fixed the crashing problem and since then, it's been okay.

Scalability Issues

I think it is scalable. You can buy another shelf any time you need one.

Customer Service and Technical Support

Technical support is very good. We had quick response for anything we needed.

Initial Setup

Initial setup is straight forward; very simple, web administration.

Other Advice

It's a good solution. I think it’s a bit expensive. As a technical guy, I don't look at that side very much. It's a good solution overall.
