EMC VNXE3100 1XSP DPE 6X300GB SAS 4.5 5 3 3
Installed back in July/August of 2011 and loved how easy it was to configure with our HA VMWare environment. I like how the unit is redundant in itself. February 18, 2012
Installed the product 2 months ago and am really happy with the product.There is alot of information that is not readily available to you or is hard to find when purchasing the product.For instance, the flex I/O modules are a seperate purchase, if you buy the sata drives you can only buy them in packs of 6, if you have sata drive you can only use raid 6. the raid level is per 6 disks, meaning that if you have 12 disks, you have 4 disks that are used for parity. That means that if you buy 12 x 2 TB disks, thinking that you have somewhere around 20 TB after you actually only have around 14 TB of usuable space. it would have been nice to get more of that info upfront.That being said it is a nice product that is very easy to use for the IT generalist.

We installed the VNXe 3100 about 2 months ago. It has performed very well. We use it as central stroage for our VMWare environment. It was easy to configure, and the Unisphere interface is very intuitive and easy to navigate.The price point of the VNXe is very good for SMB's like myself. It fit our budget nicely compared to the other vendors out there. I never thought we would be able to have an EMC storage system with our budget, but we do, and I am very happy with the VNXe!
