More HPE Cloud Object Storage Pros →

Cons
"In Amazon EBS, it is difficult to reduce the space chosen by the customer. The cost increases the moment the size of the storage increases, and I will have to pay for two TB of the tool instead of one TB.""The cost of using EBS is high compared to other cloud vendors such as Tencent Cloud or CARI Cloud. Some costs are generated immediately and some are likely to increase.""It is hard to access EBS volumes in different Availability Zones (AZs) because most EBS volumes are created in a single AZ.""There is room for improvement in terms of file storage. Recently, we had a scenario in which, in a file share, we had increased the IOPS capacity; this was for the production environment.""I think performance can be improved.""I feel that there are some concerns when it comes to the accessibility area of the product where improvements are required.""The initial setup is not easy.""The setup could be easier."
