Hitachi Command Suite vs. IBM Storage for Red Hat OpenShift

Even as a non-IT employee, this software helps me to see how I am using the organization's digital resources. At a larger scale, where Hitachi Command Suite excels, this software allows an organization to monitor and analyze their resources and how employees and customers are utilizing them. I find this is best used when dealing with sensitive information (such as medical records), or with consumer-facing content.

This product performance has been creating positive impact on the growth of our company. I can highly recommend to any company that is struggling to find data storage platform. Since we deployed this tool our data is always secure and our files have the most reliable storage tools. Server storage services from IBM portfolio have been great and we have never failed in any day in data transmission from various sources.

• Pool management (still best done through SVP)
• Support for tags/attributes for storage resources would be a wonderful addition
• Reporting is minimal and difficult to use.
• Capacity planning (historical baselining + projection of organic growth) is a missing feature

The interfaces are well designed and not overly populated with extraneous detail. Disparate but related feature sets are supported via separate interfaces that share a UX look and feel so that it doesn't feel like completely different panes of glass. Copy data management activity is still a bit clunky as it is accomplished via a re-purposed backup tool that was written to handle replicas, images and snapshots) but over all it is useable and has an interesting interface where elements are dragged onto the workflows.

Command Suite / Ops Center are the native tools to the Hitachi Vantara storage systems. Operating Hitachi Vantara products including VSP (370,1000,1500,5500), Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) they are paramount in leveraging the full use of the product families. The interfaces may be a bit less friendly than some of the newer green-field storage systems that have 'point and click' / 'click-click-done' management interfaces but the power and the engine-room access for deep configuration that Hitachi Vantara gives make it worth the extra effort to run some of the absolute most rock-solid and fastest/faster storage systems available.

I have not worked with such powerful data storage platform in our organization. This platform has provided us with the most basic storage platform that has enhanced reliable momentum on data management. All our workloads are always under safe environment in this platform and customization of storage disks have been done effectively. IBM Storage for Red Hat OpenShift has met all our cloud storage demands and we are proud of its services.

• Provisioning is now a very easy task
• Managing replication now has an interface (as opposed to old HORCM RAIDCOM command line stuff - which is still available_
• HPA gives end to end and sparkline views of all elements in the storage path
