Most reliable and cost effective choice for data protection

I like how fast it runs compared other products in its class such as NetApp FAS/AFF systems which are much slower at least from my experience running them through our test lab environment over many years using VMs or physical servers (including some older HP ProLiant hardware). It also has an easy GUI interface so you don't need too have extensive knowledge about linux command line interfaces etc., just click "here" then wait while your stuff gets copied onto tape drives! No way around needing…

Pros
  • Simple to administrate, reliable & robust storage solution with excellent support for all aspects including VMware ESX hypervisors that can run virtual machines directly off flash arrays without any additional components needed e.g vSAN / VSVMs

Excellent for backing all types of data

I like how easy it was to set up and use. It has made our backup process much easier! We have been able to get rid of tape backups and are using flash only which makes life sooo much better!! There isn't anything i dislike about the product. If you want an affordable way to back up your servers then check out violin. They make things very simple and they will work closely with you if you need help setting everything up. Backuping server files without having to worry about tape backups or other

Pros
  • Easy setup
  • Great customer service
  • Very fast response times from support team when neededCons : Nothing really, there is nothing this program can do that my old storage device couldn’t
Cons
  • It is hard to say

Violin is a cloud based storage array that provides a lot of features for free.

As a software developer myself, I was initially excited to try the platform because it seemed like something I could use in our organization. However, upon implementation, I realized that the amount of work needed to get the product running properly was immense, and the support was terrible. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants a cheap alternative to Oracle EBS, but who does not have the time nor patience to learn the product. After two years of using Violin as my primary…

Pros
  • Has a great pricing scheme for small businesses where the cost is less than what the competitor offers.
  • Great documentation
  • Has many options to setup your storage needs.
Cons
  • You cannot call their web services directly
  • Their API is expensive for certain requests.
  • You must call their API in order to retrieve additional information.
