What do you like most about Dell EMC PowerMax NVMe?

First, it's an enterprise storage solution. This is very important for us.

Another important feature is replication.

The product is very fast and reliable.

It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Dell PowerMax NVMe has good scalability and performance.

Dell PowerMax NVMe's tech support is good.

The most valuable feature of Dell PowerMax NVMe is its replication feature.

I am impressed with the tool's reliability since we see a few hardware failures with it. Also, the solution's replication configuration is good.

It is a very stable solution. I would rate it a ten out of ten.

The tool is a fast-performing asset. It can perform millions of transactions within a second. I like the tool's architecture as well.

The speed and the compatible interface with IBM are the most valuable features of the PowerMax product.

PowerMax is a compact high-performance appliance. It is one of the best devices in terms of performance specs. It includes an NVMe All-Flash Array.

The solution has good operability and easy scalability.

The uptime is the most valuable feature.

This platform is reliable in supporting our data availability. We now have a higher performing platform and have been able to consolidate our workloads into one single platform.

We removed the need to observe whether we ran into issues with the performance of disks or number of IOPS. Previously, our Oracle Database would throw us performance errors. Now, with PowerMax, everything runs smoothly.

The SRDF site-to-site replication for the volumes is the most important feature for us. That enables us to do site recovery and replication for our VMware infrastructure.

They're basically tanks. You could take a baseball bat to the thing, and it's still going to keep running and doing what it's supposed to do. We've had a couple of part failures, and you can pretty much replace any part on that thing at any time during the day in the middle of production without worrying about anything happening.

We find the service level option to provision storage very valuable. The ability to define different service levels for storage groups helps us in prioritizing our workload at the infrastructure level.

The performance is very good on our servers. It's superior. And the QoS capabilities for providing work congestion protection are also important because about 99 percent of our servers are production servers.

We like the compression, dedupe, and I/O on the PowerMax. They are better than on the XtremIO.

You can use PowerMax for all workloads and consolidation. We have used it to scale thousands of VMs.

There is no management overhead involved in optimizing performance. It does it so well on its own. We don't have to manage much at all. It really is like a set it and forget it solution. My storage engineers love the system. It is a lot less work than our previous systems, which weren't bad by any means. There is not nearly as much management as before. So, we are saving dozens of hours per month for our storage team, and that is a real cost in our business.

PowerMax NVMe has made it a lot easier to understand how much we are able to provision. It has made it a lot faster to provision new things. 90% of my time for provisioning has been reduced. Also, it has made it very easy to understand and see everything behind it versus the older heritage, where Dell EMC was very convoluted and hard to get working. Things that used to take an hour, probably now take five to 10 minutes.

The performance is very good. Our predominant workloads are all less than 5 milliseconds and it's most common to have a sub-1-millisecond response time for our applications. In terms of efficiency, we've turned on compression and we're able to get as high as two-to-one compression on our workloads, on average.

The solution's snapshot capabilities and replication are very good features. Snapshots are allowing us to quickly build analytical models directly from production data. This gives us amazing insights into market trends and allows us to build more effective trading algorithms. Replication offers us unparalleled levels of resilience.

Technical support has been excellent.

The optimization of the cache memory of each engine and the use of persistent memory.

We're consolidating two to three arrays down to one which means that our data center footprint has decreased by like 90%. So we're saving 90% of our space, and it also is much better on power and everything else in our data center. And on top of that, the performance is much, much better than our older arrays.

Enterprise Cloud Storage is the most valuable feature, along with the data services which come with it, plus the deduplication and compression.

We are able to provide storage at the right service levels without overmanaging it.

We can consistently replicate mainframe and open system and have a single recovery point.

It's faster and more resilient.

Uptime by far is the most important thing, and also the replication ability (SRDF). Most of the customers who need this type of availability also want the protection of multiple data centers, and it is able to easily switchover workloads to their other data centers.

My storage engineers are very happy with PowerMax. They are very pleased with the performance, decreased latency, and dependability. From the team, the RESTful API makes management so much easier for them versus the command line interface.

CloudIQ has become an optimal tool for us to get the full picture of all the different arrays, from mid-tier all the way up. It gives us that single view and the ability to launch the Unisphere. That is really is powerful in being able to manage the array.

It is easy to manage and upgrade.

The number one most valuable feature is reliability. I want to go home at the end of the day and come in the next day knowing it works, especially since we have storage offshore.

It is a true, stable product.

It significantly simplifies storage.

The compression and deduplication are the most valuable features because of the cost savings.

For the migration process from the older VMAX arrays to PowerMax, we VMotioned everything. It was easy.

It is efficient and very simple for our administrators to use.

It has reduced our footprint in different physical locations.

The PowerMax software and CloudIQ let us get an inside view of our compression and compaction, as well as our usage of the storage.

It has dramatically cut down the footprint in our data center and reduced the amount of raw disk capacity that we needed to purchase.

It is very stable. We expect superior performance and reliability from this particular storage system.

Key features include performance, replication time, and dedup and compression.

We were able to move away from a middleware solution for high availability, going right to snapshots and data replication on arrays.

The smaller footprint of the device has been really nice. We have gone from eight bays to one bay. Having one floor tile in our data center has been pretty awesome. A lot less power and HVAC cooling is being consumed.

It was easy for teams to pick up the technology with very limited exposure and training, then implement and support it.

The stability is amazing. Zero downtime reported over the last years.

We are happy with the monitoring that Dell EMC is doing for us. They have helped us to identify many issues during the routine checks, issues which we were not aware of.

PowerMax, with version 9.02, which we installed recently, has some very good features, such as CloudIQ.

It offers a high level of availability, so pretty much near zero downtime.

The SRDF replication piece is probably the best feature. It's useful for maintaining recoverability in the event of a disaster.

The response time, compared to XtremIO, is far better.

The stability is great. It is five nines.
