Dell PowerFlex vs. Weka.IO

Definitely would recommend this unit or this family of units into most peoples organizations. Especially if you're starting fresh with a whole dedicated SAN and dont have to move a ton of data over to these (though that is possible, it is very messy). If you're moving from existing storage, then you will have to be prepared for some sore spots!

Weka.IO is really well suited for anyone who needs high availability and high-performance computing capabilities with just the click of a button. It has really made us able to provision and replicate applications in the public cloud, and to not spin up a ton of costs from that cloud provider.

We can't really complain about anything with Weka.IO. It works as it should, and we've never had any real issues. We feel they offer the best latency and workload options for the file types that we see the most often. The on-demand scaling is really helpful to our costs.

We really like that their platform is based on hardware-independent storage, and all Flash. It's exceptionally fast and very easy to use. Almost anyone could use it, as it's very user-friendly, and they in a sense guide you through the process. It's very helpful and helps us manage costs very well.

• The units look good and give you that futurey data center vibe!
