PROS

HPE Alletra Storage does not require direct vendor case logging thanks to its on-premises log access and features such as thick or thin data provisioning, data grid duplication, and compression.
The system offers high-speed data transfer capabilities and is highly valued for its performance, particularly with NVMe and VDI, which are crucial for efficiency and replication across sites.
Alletra’s ease of deployment and management significantly reduces the time spent on storage-related tasks, enhancing overall storage performance.
Integration features with vCenter through the HPE multi-storage plugin and InfoSight analytics provide simplified management and real-time insights, improving ease of use and operational efficiency.
Reliability and uptime are robust, with features like all-flash arrays ensuring high speed and zero downtime, supporting intense and varied workload demands effectively.

CONS

There is a need for an option to incorporate NVMe alongside other storage tiers.
Initial setup requires more resources and could be improved.
A smaller chassis in hybrid arrays would be appreciated.
Direct integration with Veeam repositories is desired to eliminate the need for intermediate OS platforms.
Installation difficulties may arise, particularly with connection to the cloud which is mandatory during configuration.

Since it's a slightly cutting-edge technology, we had to put in quite a lot of new fabric and stuff for it. That's probably the only thing people need to be aware of—to make sure you've got everything sorted out upfront to make the implementation smooth and fast.
