Seamless integration with cloud services improves workflows but documentation needs enhancement
One area that needs improvement is the documentation, which I find to be disorganized and not user-friendly. The lack of comprehensive walkthrough guides for specific use cases makes it difficult to follow. To enhance the experience, more detailed examples, guides, and tutorials from start to finish would be beneficial. Additionally, the cost compared to other providers like Amazon could be regarded as a downside.

High‑availability block storage has protected critical research workloads and boosted VMware IOPS
It is difficult to provide specific areas for improvement at this time. We may realize approximately 20% gains in the future, but the previous SAN we used was not very time-consuming, so the improvement is not very significant. We anticipate gains of approximately 10 to 20%. The management interface could be simplified. The cloud console contains two main sections: one for hardware and one for logical volumes on the LUNs being managed. This split is understandable because the hardware console contains HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 for block storage and HPE Alletra for backup, both accessible in the same console. The separation of the SAN hardware console and the backup console is logical and understandable. We have four compute nodes, and the system was not designed to shut down gracefully with only two compute nodes remaining. Running with just one compute node functions properly, and the system continues to operate at reduced capacity. However, when we experienced a crash involving half of the system, HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 failed completely. This behavior is documented as normal in the documentation, but we hoped the block storage could manage to run with half the power. This capability will be available in a future release but is not included in the current version. Our testing before moving to production was not entirely successful, but this aligns with the documented specifications. When we perform failover and data center crash tests, the system performs very well. We have deliberately crashed all four compute nodes, and the secondary storage site manages the workload without any virtual machines malfunctioning. This level of reliability is excellent, and it demonstrates why we selected HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000. Improvements in this area would make the solution even stronger.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The capacity and space on offer are excellent."

"The best part of Nearline storage is the ability to take backups at optimal costs and its availability across multiple regions."
"There are no issues with the integration of Google Cloud Storage Nearline with other Google services."
"The data structure and the types of data that are supported are very good."

"HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 saves time for storage management because it offers AI-driven provisioning, monitoring, and optimization solutions."
"HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 enables line-of-business users and database administrators to self-provision storage easily, definitely helps to reduce the time required for storage provisioning and management by around 30%, and supports my sustainability goals by being more compact than 3PAR while enabling deduplication and compression to reduce power, cooling, and rack space needs."
"HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 saves time in storage management and is easy to manage because it's connected to the common HP cloud, enabling cloud management."
"Moving to a consumption model is highly desirable from the client side. everyone seems to be moving in that direction."
"HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 takes advantage of Nimble DNA, which is a super feature and provides the best experience in the world."
"HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is basically a high throughput, high bandwidth solution that provides millions of IOPS, very low latency, and a guarantee of 100% data availability, allowing me to run multiple VMs on that particular storage without any downtime."
"The features of HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 that I prefer the most are the snapshotting and ease of administration."
"After testing HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 in production and deliberately crashing the entire SAN to verify it functioned correctly, we confirmed it was the right choice for our needs."
 

Cons

"From a storage standpoint, it would be beneficial if the retrieval cost could be optimized, as it is comparatively higher than storage costs in Nearline."
"The UI could be a little bit more effective."
"The interface for managing file storage in the buckets could be improved."
"The pricing could be improved. It's completely non-competitive at this time."
"They need a better, more visual, user interface for folders and files."
"One area that needs improvement is the documentation, which I find to be disorganized and not user-friendly."
"Nearline security could be better. The solution could integrate better with SEIM tools."
"The suggestion for improvement primarily revolves around cost efficiency."
"The administration UI is only in English, not Spanish."
"If the customer's requirement is pure NAS, in that environment, I cannot suggest HP solutions."
"They take a long time to return the action plan after I send the logs. It takes them one to two days to respond."
"There are areas for improvement in support, and they still have potential to be better."
"I do see a negative aspect in HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 because this platform is focused on enterprise customers and has been built for scalability of 500 or more virtual instance environments."
"I see some areas that could still be improved."
"With support, occasionally, we have a little trouble escalating things."
"There is still room for reducing the cost."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Google Cloud Storage Nearline is very inexpensive. It costs us less than $50 a month to store our files. We use approximately 10 terabytes. Overall, I would rate the product a five out of five for affordability."
"Right now, for the number of servers and the storage that I have, I would say I'm charged between $125 and $150 per month."
