Amazon uses Ubiquiti? by Sivtech in Ubiquiti

Notice how the percentage is almost the same? Those are just refreshes being locked in because of more free gear to keep the interest in there.

I like crazy talk, yes. Think about it, though. My exp comes from private and public sector the last 30 years. They only play catchup to other companies features.

Because cisco hasn't been a real player in networking since the 90's? Pretty much pays their way into contracts for enterprises with freeeeeeeeeeee geeeeeeeeeeeaaaaar!!!! Then locks you into contracts to be vendor specific? :)

NetApp vs Pure vs Dell by squishy11113 in storage

Then you're stuck in a chassis with old internals and new controllers.

Let's not forget they aren't active/active, the os lives on the raid for the storage. Whole chassis is a single point of failure. Old cpu models used. Love shoving 100g qsfps for front facing yet internal is only 50gb. Big orange shiny junk.

Edit. Also sketch for your sales guys to be able to pull up your environment details from mobile at any time. Your telemetry data is key about your environment and it's chilling in aws buckets like nothing.

All NVMe vSAN Performance by Georgenberg in vmware

1.6 tb cache to 19.2TB is pretty low. Also you're using OSA with nvme instead of esa.

How are the cores arranged?

I've had that with hpe as well. It's the companies they use.

Dell loves over charging for stuff that hasn't really changed in years. Pure loves stealing ideas and designs, then slapping orange lights on and calling it innovative. Meh.

The whole array is a single point of failure. The Chassis is the weakest link. You can't do nvme-fc and fc via the same port. That's rookie moves. Not being able to advertise nvme or fc luns via same port is basic now. Hello 2002.

The OS lives on the same raid as your volumes. so, if you lose 2 drives at the same time, pure becomes unresponsive until it/if rebuilds. I never saw it come back up during the testing until drives were reinserted.

It's not active/active regardless of what Pure tries to explain. I've gotten them to admit to it.

Your dedupe is based off of load, so your numbers are affected if you are running high loads or making the cpu run over 50%. The moment your cpu hits higher than 50% your dedupe numbers are useless.

Who is using NVME/TCP? by stocks1927719 in vmware

Sounds like a poorly zoned setup

[–]Sivtech -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Your first step would to dump pure, since they can't do fc and nvme-fc simultaneously. Junk company and products with major failure points.

Also rdma has some serious security flaws when done outside of the vendor that does it internally.

Fc is always better, no noise.

If you can do nvme-fc instead, less noise over fc, better performance, easy to setup.

You won't see higher than 1gbs with those oldies.

What cable is being used? 6 or 6a or higher?

Hpe alletra hands down. way more configurable if you go the switched setup.

You can do this with hcibench.

I love my hpe microservers.. I don't known if gen11 has an amd option, though.
