Dell Unity XT Likes & Dislikes
Handles file shares and block storage together in one system Saves space with built-in compression and dedupe features Simple web UI makes day to day tasks and monitoring easy
The only good part about this product is it's performance and reliability : it serves templates to our VSAN cluster used by hundreds of people, it hosts our backups, it never had a problem (performance / access / etc). Plus the reconstruct time is quite good if we lost disks.
One box for files and server blocks Shrinks data to fit more stuff Easy web page to control it all
Not as fast as pure all-flash arrays for heavy or bursty workloads Expanding capacity requires some planning for pools and drive layout Reporting is basic and misses deeper drill-down views
Price is very high (QNAP proposed 6 times more space for the same price, even if it is not the same industry grade reputation) and lack of useful features (ACL / RBAC / rights management is really bad, available protocols are not comprehensive, etc.)
Not super quick for heavy rush jobs Extra space needs planning ahead Status reports stay pretty basic
