The main advantage of Huawei OceanStor is its aggressive pricing, but there may be potential issues with integration, especially with NVIDIA. This could be due to political restrictions or embargoes. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
The installation has some marginal room for improvement. The product can be integrated with AI tools and they are coming up with AI tools for data analysis. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

I would recommend the product to my customers based on their requirements. Huawei OceanStor has different models under its portfolio. If any department store wants to implement the database or ERP solution, then OceanStor Dorado 2000 or OceanStor Dorado 3000 can be suggested to such people depending on their requirements related to the storage. If there is a banking sector, where there are huge transactions, we recommend OceanStor Dorado 5000, OceanStor Dorado 6000 or OceanStor Dorado 8000. I believe that in terms of the feature that needs to be added to the product, anti-ransomware functionality has already been added to the solution's storage part. The product is good. I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

If you can afford it, there is a benefit. However, for a startup company entering the business, breaking the bank to acquire Huawei OceanStor solutions might not be necessary. There are more affordable alternatives available. It provides an impressive amount of storage resources, with capacities up to 40 terabytes or even more, depending on your requirements. It offers a range of form factors and uses all SSDs, which enables it to provide substantial storage capacity. It allows for scalability, so if you start to run out of space over time, you can easily scale up according to your needs. This flexibility makes it a viable option for businesses expecting to grow their storage requirements. We design and implement solutions for them. If you compare the amount of money they would need to spend to scale out their original storage solution versus the cost of acquiring the value assurance tool, you will see that acquiring the value assurance tool is actually more cost-effective. This approach reduces capital expenditure compared to procuring additional storage to keep scaling up the original solution. This support has been highly beneficial for our clients. If you consider the costs associated with scaling out their original storage solutions, you'll find that acquiring our value assurance tool is more cost-effective than continuously investing in additional storage. In the long run, our clients spend less capital while gaining access to ample storage resources through Huawei OceanStor. This solution offers fixed costs and provides them with modern storage technology, including advanced software capabilities. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

New users may need some training before they buy OceanStor because it's different from other vendors like EMC, Dell, NetApp, etc. The user interface is very simple, but I recommend new users acquire training. Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten.

We used Huawei OceanStor as purely backend storage. The solution was used as block storage, which contributes to the processing timeline. The solution's performance was good and impacted our data accessibility. I would recommend the solution to other users. People who really want to save money and explore alternatives to products like Dell or Hitachi can consider using Huawei OceanStor. Huawei OceanStor is a cheap, stable, and scalable solution. We faced no downtimes and could scale the tool as promised on the product sheet. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I do not have any special needs. The tool works. It’s my storage. We started using the solution because it was recommended to us. The old storage had to be replaced, and we wanted good storage for a low price. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
I rate the solution a nine out of ten because it fulfills all my requirements. Even if I want to add a DR box, it's so simple. I will just add a location within, like, 400 kilometers. And just in two to three steps, my application will start working.

I give the solution an eight out of ten. We have over 1,000 end-users. Huawei OceanStor is an affordable and effective solution. I recommend that organizations conduct thorough research and compare it with other products before making a decision.
Others who are looking to implement Huawei OceanStor should install first and after that go ahead and reset the configuration. In most common operations, this would be the first step to getting to know the product. I rate OceanStor a 10 out of 10.

On a scale from one to ten, I'd rate it at a seven. I gave it a score of seven based on my experience with other storage solutions. We've used NetApp, HP, and EMC. We've used quite a number. In fact, I gave this score because of the support. It is quite a high score. But frankly, we're still going through the steps of implementing. We have our main database there. Now we are going to optimize further. It's not only because All-Flash costs money. We should use it optimally. There is a tendency for users to put all their data on the All-Flash. We also have cache solutions whereby a part of the data is on the All-Flash. We are trying to convince users that they don't really need All-Flash for all their data, for all their applications. Maybe in more time, I can compare and give you an idea, but not yet at this stage. I can't tell you which features we need, not yet at this stage.

It would be very pretentious to give advice to anyone since the product is very simple and easy to use and we have it only for less than a year. I think the system has more features than we are using right now. Fortunately we have not the opportunity to check the quality of the service as till the moment we have not any problem. Perfection is difficult to achieve, so on a scale from one to ten, my rating is nine. F

The customer should know what he wants and the person who manages the storage should outline the needs. You should be aware of what the seller wants to sell and what he wants to do. But this is relevant to every storage product. As a seller, it's very important to not promise the customer better than what the solution delivers. OceanStor is the best Huawei product for the data center. I would rate this solution seven out of 10. I've never had a storage solution that I've wanted to give more than an eight to. There is no solution without disadvantages.
OceanStor Dorado V3 is the industry's first all-flash storage that puts NVMe into commercial use. It is specially designed for enterprises' mission-critical businesses, meeting the most-demanding performance and reliability requirements of databases, VDI, server virtualization, and SAP HANA.
