We performed a comparison between HPE StoreVirtual and Red Hat Ceph Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Software Defined Storage (SDS) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The seamlessness behind the scenes of block management."
"he interface and the installation makes it easy as it's all in one piece of hardware and it doesn't need to be connected to anything else."
"Thin provisioning lets us get the most value from the hard drives."
"It's very stable and it's easy to use."
"The initial setup is straightforward, not a complex procedure."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't had any issues with glitches or bugs."
"HPE StoreVirtual is very easy to use from the management console."
"It allows compute and storage to operate separately, and has the ability to take SAN nodes out of production for maintenance with little effort and zero downtime."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"It's a very performance-intensive, brilliant storage system, and I always recommend it to customers based on its benefits, performance, and scalability."
"The ability to provide block storage and object storage from the same storage cluster is very valuable for us."
"radosgw and librados provide a simple integration with clone, snapshots, and other functions that aid in data integrity."
"Most of the features are beneficial and one does not stand out above the rest."
"I like the distributed and self-healing nature of the product."
"We have not encountered any stability issues for the product."
"Red Hat Ceph Storage is a reliable solution, it works well."
"The initial setup could be simplified to make it easier for new users."
"The solution needs to ensure it is on par with the industry in terms of availability of features and various other options."
"Configuration of application integrated snapshots for VMware is convoluted and it did not work immediately."
"The management aspect of the solution needs to be improved in order to make the product stronger."
"f you're doing the 10Gb adapters, SFPs don't come with it, but it doesn't say that. It might say that somewhere else, but it's not clear."
"The penalty for the availability is performance. So, you have to balance or choose between the availability and the performance."
"I would like to have this solution easily integrate with VMware."
"One of the areas that need improvement is the consolidated management platform, to manage all of the nodes from one place and the licensing around that."
"The storage capacity of the solution can be improved."
"I have encountered issues with stability when replication factor was not 3, which is the default and recommended value. Go below 3 and problems will arise."
"It would be nice to have a notification feature whenever an important action is completed."
"Rebalancing and recovery are a bit slow."
"We have encountered slight integration issues."
"Ceph does not deal very well with, or takes a long time to recover from, certain kinds of network failures and individual storage node failures."
"The management features are pretty good, but they still have room for improvement."
"It took me a long time to get the storage drivers for the communication with Kubernetes up and running. The documentation could improve it is lacking information. I'm not sure if this is a Ceph problem or if Ceph should address this, but it was something I ran into. Additionally, there is a performance issue I am having that I am looking into, but overall I am satisfied with the performance."
