Chose EMC VNX (Discontinued)
EMC VNX is currently EOL, so we are in the process of migrating to EMC Unity and VMAX. We stayed with the EMC portfolio of storage solutions due to their proven record and history of good performance.

Cons
  • The UI is very clunky and uses Java, which I am not a big fan of.
  • It is difficult to see performance metrics or utilization. Tegile or Nimble provide a superior window into your performance and IOPS on LUNs and VMs.
