Head Of Security at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees

With a lot of the services we use, we need a single dashboard that could do more. At the moment, the biggest challenge in technology and security is redundancies in the systems. It would be great to have just one system that can manage a lot of your workflow. I think that the challenge for HPE is their diversification into new markets. They're a new company and they are doing very well; but I would say that they still have a little bit of work to do with some of their partners. That’s understandable because it is still very new. But they really need to strengthen certain vendor relationships.

Cloud Architect at Service Provider

Some improvements I think are needed are greater stability and more up to date packages. The Ceph Cluster components that we've been looking at are still in the previous Hammer release. We were expecting the next release to be pretty much in line with it; at least not more than one behind. They're a couple behind at the minute. Maybe a better track to the upstream software would be good. With this obviously being an elastic type solution, the initial setup time seems to be taking a lot longer than we expected.
