Dell VPLEX vs. HPE OneView

This works in two fold. First it creates a copy of the data in two locations, protecting the data from a SAN or a NAS failure. Second, it provides a data point in a second location that can be used as storage for a stretched virtual cluster, giving a virtual stack a means to continue operation.

I have found that HPE OneView is well suited for all of our scenarios in our shared data center platform to control all the compute hardware with firmware, patches and profiles of all compute components.

Incentivized

• High Availability
• Fail Over
• Business continuity

Incentivized

• Managing the overall Blade profiles and the ability to have access to all equipment from one central repository.

Incentivized

• Requires high bandwidth low latency connectivity between sites.
• Cost wise it is expensive because you have to purchase with a mirror in mind.
• Configuration can be difficult.

Incentivized

• Managing the 3Pard Oneview will allow you to do things like reuse LUN IDs and setup multiple export groups with the same volume. This can cause performance issues, or worse. They could do a better job of protecting you from yourself...
• Complicated initial configuration

Support and training when we implemented OneView were excellent. We haven't required any additional support since we put it in and configured it for our systems. The OneView systems have been stable through updates and HPE documentation is excellent.

When this was purchased there was no other product that could achieve what we were looking for, now this feature is pretty standard with storage platforms. It is a costly solution not just the hardware but the infrastructure to support it. It requires a connection between sites with at least 3 gigabytes per second and sub 5 millisecond latency and a network infrastructure capable of handling that

If you are using modern HPE equipment there really are no alternatives.

Incentivized

• Reduced down time.
• Provides business continuity.
• Reduces single point of failure on the SAN.

Incentivized

• Easy to use and saves time in maintenance.
