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.

Great migrations, useful integrations, and offers good data replication
The local libraries from NetApp to NetApp are good. This way, we don't have to put the middleman in between to do the transition or conversion. The NetApp Cloud Volume Services for AWS has been helping migrate workloads onto the cloud. We did migrate a couple of native applications into AWS using this, and it was helpful. In terms of the integration with AWS native services, I did not configure it by myself. There was another team who did it. That said, I presume they didn't run into any issues, which is why we are using it. While the solution did not help us reduce the amount of storage, it allowed us to have data replicated across on-premises and in the cloud, so that we have a backup in DR. While it did not reduce the footprint, it helped DR expansion. It increased redundancy. Since deploying the product, we have not been affected by ransomware or other external threats.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 reduces the time I spend on storage provisioning and management, saving about 50% of my time because by default I configure the host groups and host volumes, and if I need to add one more storage to the VMware environment, I put it in the group and it automatically presents to all of the hosts."
"The features of HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 that I appreciate the most include the high RAM, which allows us to extract the data quickly, and the GUI, which is much more intuitive than the competitors."
"An example of how the features of HPE GreenLake for File Storage have been benefiting my organization is through the reliability and stability we experience, as the engineering team that takes care of it, plus my team that reports up to me, are very comfortable with the technology, which has been reliable, and HPE's support has been fantastic."
"The feature I like is that I can create a template and apply it to multiple switches. I don't have to do the same task on every switch, and the same goes for access points. It's central management, with the features that come with central management."
"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 saves time in storage management and is easy to manage because it's connected to the common HP cloud, enabling cloud management."
"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 enables a line of business or DB admins to self-provision storage."
"The NetApp Cloud Volume Services for AWS has been helping migrate workloads onto the cloud. We did migrate a couple of native applications into AWS using this, and it was helpful."
 

Cons

"One area that has potential for improvement is the replication side, as Alletra Direct GUI does not provide options to view replication details."
"I would appreciate improvements in performance monitoring to create custom reports."
"With support, occasionally, we have a little trouble escalating things."
"There is the negative impact of the high price for HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000, which is costly considering economy-related price increases."
"The debugging of devices could use improvement. Connection problems on devices as well."
"When the system first came out, it had some problems with the Data Center Cloud Console, which made implementation difficult."
"Support management is not straightforward. With Dell, we had direct access to phone support, but with HPE, access is not as simple and support is not always available in French."
"I see some areas that could still be improved."
"We'd like the solution to be less expensive and offer lower latency."
