About 10% of our provisioned storage is just for vmware datastores, and that alone sees 15:1 or better dedupe rates. Some are allocated for dev, some allocated for ETL and database builds, and some allocated for search engine index data for our middleware APIs. We regularly see peaks of 1.5 to 2.5GB/sec (gigabytes) throughput from the M50R2 and slightly less throughput from the M20R2s when we really push them, but they usually run around 200-500MB/sec on a typical day, all day, depending on the array. Across about 150TB of raw disks, we've got over 1.2PB provisioned, at 80-85% utilization on each array. I have a bunch of M20R2s/M50R2s, with 17-44TB raw in each, and experiencing about 10:1 dedupe (min 8:1, max 13:1) with mysql/mssql/vmfs datastores and a bunch of OS boot volumes. Fast, inexpensive, reliable.pick two.Ĭame here to say this. My whole long-winded point is choose what works best for your company and workloads. Likely long after you have retired the equipment and moved onto whatever the next best thing is. They were not at the level my company needed when we did our vendor comparison a few years back, we looked at XtremIO, Pure and someone else I don't remember.Īs for pure's longevity, ask yourself if it really matters? Even if you bought something today and they folded tomorrow (nearly impossible but bear with me) whoever bought up their intellectual property (and someone would) would be on the hook for service and support for YEARS. I have not worked with nimble but have heard good things. Do you have any requirements along the lines of encryption (this can mess up de-duplication if implemented incorrectly)? What does each vendor bring to the table that the others do not? Price is always a factor but remember the triangle of storage (fast, cheap, reliable.pick two). I can take a junior administrator, someone with some experience but not much, and in one hour have them confidently provisioning storage on a Pure array, from the CLI.īut that's my experience, the better question you should be asking is, what storage will work best for my workloads? What are you running on this FAS3240? Oracle, SAP, VMware, HyperV, MSSQL, Exchange, something else or everything? How write intensive is it? On flash reads are cheap, writes are expensive. Yes they are pricey but it is hands down the best performing, most reliable and easy to use storage I have ever worked with. I would have the Pure logo tattooed on my skin, I feel that strongly about the quality of their products.
I have worked with EMC, Dell, Netapp, HP, HPE (if that give you an idea of how long I've worked in storage) Equalogic, and a few others over the years. Brands are the things that have burned us. Tattoos are the choice we make to put something we feel so strongly about that we will permanently have it inked into our skin. I like to joke that during our careers in IT, we get tattoos and brands.
