The IBM Storwize was originally purchased to consolidate DS5000 workloads. Hence we have refreshed the array and even grown it [to] add in a DR location. The GUI is super easy - even our manager can figure it out in times of need.
Pros
Block Storage
Storage Consolidation
Easy to Use GUI
Cons
Always room for Data Reduction Improvements (efficiency) without the overhead on the array
Would love to see NVMe roadmap
Likelihood to Recommend
Midrange to Large Enterprise Storage offerings. No NAS or Unified storage offering (enterprise) as IBM has dropped all the NAS/Unified offerings
