HPE Alletra dHCI Reviews

It is mainly to implement some digitalization in administration or something like that.

In addition to the notary thing of HPE, it is one of the most stable evolving companies. With regards to performance, configuration, and longevity it is upgradeable, which means it has a good TCO rate. These are valuable aspects to me. 

Software upgrade is still more complicated than the competitors, so that's an area of improvement. 

In future releases, HPE can add some advanced features like those we can see on some HP devices like Aruba controllers. They have two modes, although it is still an administration and network-based mode, it has two modes, one enhanced and one basic. Basic, which could be used as a wizard. Most likely to be like a wizard for quick deployment and the advanced to permit more advanced adjustments.

So, I would like to see a similar feature in HPE. 

 We have been with HPE Nimble Storage for four years now. We deal with the latest version. 

I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. 

I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. 

The initial setup's complexity is average because most of the time, we propose or apply for HPE service. We are not alone in installing such a system. In most cases, we buy HPE services.  

In our company, we are integrators. We have five engineers in our technical time. We don't use the label. So, most of the time, we are an integrator. So we sell it to the end customers.

We do the basic maintenance. Most of the time, we also buy three to five years of service from HPE. And we also organize support training for our customers or IT personnel in charge. Most of the time, customers also need to be independent. 

The pricing is expensive. I would rate the licensing model a three out of ten, where one is extremely expensive, and ten is cheap. 

I would recommend it to other users. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

The initial setup is easy, and I would rate it at ten out of ten. The deployment does not take more than an hour. If the client already has an existing VMware setup with a three-node cluster, then it is just a matter of a few clicks to cluster the system. After that, the virtual machines need to be moved from the old setup to the new setup. It is a straightforward task.

HPE Nimble Storage dHCI is much cheaper than the competition and has value proposition. Customers can see an ROI in three months. There are no additional costs, and VMware licenses can be reutilized.

I would strongly recommend taking a look at HPE Nimble Storage dHCI and evaluating it because there's no point in going for old technology. I rate this solution at ten out of ten because if there's an issue, HP support will contact the admin as a result of the built-in AI.

Our main goal was to be able to use the [inaudible 00:01:19], to be able to make the backup more efficient.

I rate HPE Nimble Storage seven out of 10. It's easy to use. You can set it up and forget about it. The integration with VMware is solid, and it's easy to upgrade. It isn't the best on the market, but far from the worst.
