We have been utilizing Dell NAS/SAN solutions for over 15 years; most recently the Dell Powerstore was acquired 5 years ago. Dell has done an excellent job in monitoring and resolving all issues in a very expedient manner.

Our overall experience with NetApp AFF C-Series has been very positive. The platform delivered exactly what we needed: an affordable all-flash solution with strong data services and predictable performance for mixed workloads. ONTAP One's licensing simplified feature activation and reduced administrative overhead, while the system's efficiency helped us meet sustainability goals by cutting power and rack space compared to hybrid arrays. Day-to-day operations are stable thanks to mature ONTAP OS e.g. non-disruptive upgrades and unified multiprotocol support. Service and support for the storage array and software is outstanding - we already had several hardware issues in our fleet, and they were solved very fast and proactively by NetApp's support organization.

We implemented Pure Storage Flashblade in 2022, and it was a game-changer for our infrastructure's performance. We noticed a significant improvement in the loading speed of websites, databases, and other services.

We initially had some hardware issues due to the PowerScales we purchased being unplugged for about a year. Support was able to get us back up and running, and now they are being used heavily for production work. We plan on purchasing more due to overall reliability and the feature set.

We use TrueNAS Enterprise as our primary on‑prem storage platform for a mix of virtual machines, databases and file shares, and it has been solid once we got through the initial learning curve. ZFS snapshots and replication give us confidence on the data protection side, and we have already used snapshots a few times to recover from user mistakes without drama. The product feels more “admin‑focused” than glossy, but day‑to‑day it has been reliable, predictable and easy to live with as long as you respect the design guidelines around pools, vdevs and capacity planning.
