Works reliably for virtualization workloads and has supported smooth migrations from legacy systems
The features and capabilities of HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 that I have found most valuable include very good and fast hardware controllers and CPUs. The new systems have features similar to the old Nimble, such as virtual lock or ransomware snapshots to save the data. Regarding the predictive analytics feature of HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000, you can analyze information over the DSCC, the Data Center Cloud Console, where you can see a lot of information to indicate whether the system has had problems or not In my opinion, it helps optimize data management for the customers fairly well, though I have no definitive assessment.

Offers advanced features with notable emphasis on innovation
The best features of NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP include deduplication, compaction, and autonomous ransomware technology that native cloud storage solutions in AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud do not support. Moreover, NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP allows the use of multiple protocols including NFS, CIFS, and iSCSI, whereas native options may only support NFS and iSCSI. Customers already using on-premises NetApp storage such as FAS, AFF, or ASA can experience the same functionality on the cloud with NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP, which adds significant value. For data protection, customers can take advantage of the Snapshot technology available with NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP. This technology facilitates data recovery by allowing snapshots to be stored either on the same storage or on a disaster recovery (DR) storage. NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP helps us to take snapshots and store them on the same storage, with options for migration or replication of those snapshots to different storage, including on-premises DR storage or other cloud storage, providing excellent disaster recovery capabilities.
