Some features could be added to HPE Apollo Systems in the future, and I feel that some capability is needed. HPE Apollo Systems is a bit expensive, and there are some issues with scalability. Two features that could be added are integration with hypervisor and with backup software.
HPE Apollo's after-sales support and technical support should be improved. The solution should provide fast delivery when it comes to replacing a particular product that is under warranty.

The solution's deployment, security, and scalability need improvement. In addition, a while back, we needed to get a GPU-intensive HPC workload. Our client still needed to accept HPE Apollo because it does not support HPC and that was what the client required. Also, one of our telco customers has said that after the installation of HPE Apollo for their telco requirement, the generically written things regarding the performance were not approved in their operational environment.

I would want to see the flexibility of being able to run various network protocols including InfiniBand, Fibre Channel, as well as iSCSI, with iSCSI going up to 100 gigabytes per second -that would be outstanding. That in conjunction with what Mellanox offers would provide us with a very high-speed networking interface. The other thing is we may could, perhaps, use more GPUs in the future, go from eight to 16 GPUs per instance. That could run head-to-head against the DGX-1, the DGX-2 that NVIDIA has developed in their own chassis. That would be interesting to see.
The HPE Apollo high-density server family is built for the highest levels of performance and efficiency. They are rack-scale compute, storage, networking, power and cooling – massively scale-up and scale-out – solutions for your big data analytics, object storage and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. From water-cooling that’s 1,000X more efficient than air, to “right-sized scaling” with 2X the compute density for workgroup and private cloud workloads, the HPE Apollo line is a dense,...

Additional features would be beneficial in the next release of HPE Apollo Systems.

The predictive analysis feature could be improved. We would like the solution to be able to implement automatically in the next release.
The solution could improve the hardware, such as the motherboard or servers. We have had hardware faults in the past.
We are quite happy with it, but its price and storage density can be better.
