XtremIO is particularly well suited to VDI and database usage.

• The storage array is very fast. The performance is great.
• It integrates well into the other ancillary products EMC offers.

• It would be good to have better wizards for frequently performed actions
• VMware integration could be better, so we could report on how many iops a particular guest VM was using.

This was one area of real disappointment. EMC support was very slow to schedule work like installations and upgrades. Break/fix support was fairly standard. After the Dell merger, things have started improving but there is a lot left to be desired here.

At the time the EMC was selected due to the existing relationship with EMC and the maturity of their product compared to the other vendor's options. However now that the maturity gap has been closed and the storage wars have proven which companies will remain for the foreseeable future, we have decided to move away from the XtremIO and go with an alternate storage company due to the price and cost of ongoing support. The EMC product is still a great product, I just find it too expensive to purchase and maintain in today's competitive marketplace.

• Ease of management is the best feature. You can see performance stats as per your needs
