We performed a comparison between Dell ECS and Red Hat Ceph Storage based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two File and Object Storage solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature for me is off-site storage."
"It's my understanding that the initial setup is straightforward."
"The stability is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"I have been satisfied with the stability."
"It is a stable platform."
"It is a stable solution."
"I have found Dell ECS to be scalable."
"This product is very competitive."
"radosgw and librados provide a simple integration with clone, snapshots, and other functions that aid in data integrity."
"The high availability of the solution is important to us."
"Most of the features are beneficial and one does not stand out above the rest."
"We have some legacy servers that can be associated with this structure. With Ceph, we can rearrange these machines and reuse our investment."
"It has helped to save money and scale the storage without limits."
"Ceph was chosen to maintain exact performance and capacity characteristics for customer cloud."
"Replicated and erasure coded pools have allowed for multiple copies to be kept, easy scale-out of additional nodes, and easy replacement of failed hard drives. The solution continues working even when there are errors."
"The ability to provide block storage and object storage from the same storage cluster is very valuable for us."
"From an improvement perspective, Dell ECS should aim to offer a better pricing plan to its users."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"You should be able to calculate so that when it's full it's 100% full, not just 90%."
"The disaster recovery could be improved because there should be something in-built within the ECS. Search and recovery should be in-built. Right now, we have to use some external tools for performing the recovery itself. For example, we're using Atempo or deploying Golden Superna, so it has dependency on the external third party vendors."
"The solution needs to provide better integration between this solution and all other kinds of systems."
"They need to ensure that the system will work if a site goes down."
"The major weakness in the solution is that there is no cloud version for Dell ECS."
"In Taiwan, they don't have professional technical support."
"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."
"What could be improved in Red Hat Ceph Storage is its user interface or GUI."
"In the deployment step, we need to create some config files to add Ceph functions in OpenStack modules (Nova, Cinder, Glance). It would be useful to have a tool that validates the format of the data in those files, before generating a deploy with failures."
"It needs a better UI for easier installation and management."
"I would like to see better performance and stability when Ceph is in recovery."
"Routing around slow hardware."
"Some documentation is very hard to find."
