一、交通行业客户评论
原文：We got to know this vendor through our existing server supplier, after initial communication on their product and user cases, we were interested in software-defined storage to improve storage localization rate in our company with a reasonable cost. We hoped to build a NAS+SAN storage system to store large amount of unstructured data such as our user information and ticket information. It would be too expensive if we continued with existing storage solutions. During the test, we found XEDP had rich features and could fully satisfy our requirements to store data. And it has been easy to use and maintain during daily use and helps us reduce our storage cost. It is a product that perfectly matches our expectation.
翻译：通过现有的服务器供应商了解到该厂商，在了解过该厂商的产品和案例后，比较有兴趣尝试软件定义存储，以可控的成本提升我司存储国产化率。希望建立一套NAS+SAN的存储系统来满足存放用户信息及票据信息等非结构化数据的存放需求，使用传统存储成本太高。经过测试后发现，XEDP功能丰富，可以满足我们对大量非结构化数据的存储需求，且使用简单，维护方便，成本优势明显，完全符合我们的期望。
二、教育行业客户评论
原文：They sent professional and effective pre-sales and implementation team. We were planning on a cloud project. They helped us solve practical issues at the early stage with solutions which suited our actual needs and tuned out to be excellent in the practice. Based on their suggestions and our thorough consideration, we purchased XEOS and XEBS at different stage of the cloud project to construct a highly-flexible and highly-reliable storage architecture for our cloud platform. It turns out that we made the right choice because their products are well performed and really saved us a lot of time on maintenance later on.
翻译：XSKY的售前和技术实施团队非常专业，经过前期交流研讨后，在我们云平台项目中，根据实际的需求，提出了非常棒的解决方案，采购了XEOS和XEBS为云平台构建了灵活性高，可靠性强的存储架构。在后期的使用运维中，XSKY的产品性能稳定，数据安全可靠，是经得起考验的解决方案。
三、制造业客户评论
原文：Before started cooperating with this vendor, we didn’t know much about software-defined storage, neither did we intend to adopt it in our production environment. During the bidding process, we had a communication with their tech team members on our requirement to store object application data, they offered us a comprehensive solution of non-structured file storage and network disk device, which turned out to be well-performed during the test, so we decided to give it a try. The deployment was conducted by vendor’s team in short time, and our questions are well answered and solved in operation practice. So far, we’re satisfied with the product and service.
翻译：刚开始我们对软件定义存储并不是很了解，也没有使用软件定义存储的打算。在竞标的过程中，我们与这个存储厂商（指XSKY）的技术实施团队进行了初步的沟通，针对我们对象应用的需求，该厂商提出了传统非结构化文件存储以及网盘一体机的综合解决方案，并且在测试过程中有较好的性能表现，最终我们决定采用这种新型存储形态。现场实施很顺利，对于我们使用过程中提出的问题都能及时提供反馈和解决方案，我们对于该厂商的产品和服务比较满意。
四、金融行业客户评论
原文：XSKY offers us a proper product for private cloud IaaS. Before adopting the solution provided by XSKY, we tested the open-source Ceph based on OpenStack and the performance was rather disappointing. We care for the performance, stability and data security, and learnt XSKY had successful deployments in the industry, so we had a test. There was better result in performance than other SDS vendors based on open-source Ceph in block storage, object storage, VMware scenario, Linux and Windows applications. We made an initial purchase of 10 nodes to run development and test system. The test environment of the Internet and management systems applications and the transaction system middleware were gradually migrated to the SDS cluster as well. Now there are over 40 VMs running on the cluster, with more to come.
翻译：在创建基于OpenStack的IaaS私有云平台方面，XSKY给我们提供了更好的产品。我们测试过基于OpenStack的开源Ceph, 性能表现不太满意。我们十分注重存储产品的性能，稳定性和数据安全，了解到XSKY在行业中有较多的成功案例，并且测试结果在块，文件，对象，VMware场景，Linux, Windows等应用方面的性能表现比其他基于开源Ceph的SDS厂家更具优势，所以初期采购了10节点的XEDP用于开发测试系统，并逐渐将互联网类及管理类系统的前中后台应用，以及交易类系统中间件的测试环境迁移到SDS集群中。目前该集群中有40个虚机在跑，后续数量会继续增加。
