I rate this review a nine overall.

For my use cases with HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000, I am trying to replace the existing 3PAR, so a primary use case would be to configure it as block storage for application servers and other enterprise-class applications. I configure it as block storage and provide the space, which is the current use case for HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000.

Apart from this, I do not have any other use cases yet.

For my one year of experience with HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000, one positive aspect is that it is very similar to the 3PAR array, which means I am already familiar with all the commands and functionalities. It is not a brand new model that requires me to learn everything from scratch; it feels almost like the latest 3PAR model, and it includes a cloud portal through which I can manage multiple arrays from the internet without needing to log into each individual array for allocation or other tasks.

Regarding the time saved on storage management with HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000, it has significantly reduced my time because previously, I needed to log into each storage for allocations, but now I have a central console that allows me to access all storage systems without logging in separately. If I calculate the time saved in percentage terms, it has reduced by around 30%.

One area that has potential for improvement is the replication side, as Alletra Direct GUI does not provide options to view replication details. While the DSCC portal offers this information, it is not available in the integrated GUI.

I have been using HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 for the last one year.

I do not see any glitches, bugs, or hardware problems with HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000; everything has been functioning well over the past year without any required downtime.

I believe HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is a scalable tool, though there are some limitations on how much I can extend capacity. However, for the projects I have worked on, it has met my requirements thus far in terms of capacity.

Technical support from HP is excellent, as I can open cases directly through the portal or by calling in, which has been a problem-free experience. From my perspective, I would rate the support at nine out of ten points.

Positive

I have not worked with any other storage products similar to HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 from other vendors.

My experience with deploying HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is straightforward, with no complexity involved.

I am working for a client as a customer, and I am a service provider, not just a partner of HP.

HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 enables line-of-business users and database administrators to self-provision storage easily. The solution definitely helps to reduce the time required for storage provisioning and management. The reduction in time for storage provisioning and management is also around 30%.

Regarding scalability and its impact on operations and storage costs, there is a dual-controller model in HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000, allowing me to touch one loop at a time without any impact. HP claims that upgrades can be done online without downtime. Currently, I do not see any area for improvement in HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000, as I believe it is a good product without any bugs or problems.

Regarding disaster recovery, I do have flexible options for the recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO). This flexibility is important because it allows for easy configurations, and I can set up replication between arrays or make other adjustments quickly through the cloud portal, enhancing efficiency.

Regarding my sustainability goals, HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 supports these goals effectively. HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 makes achieving sustainability goals possible because it is compact compared to the 3PAR, eliminating the need for a complete 4U rack, and it also enables deduplication and compression, reducing power and cooling needs, as well as space in the rack.

I would rate this solution nine out of ten points.

I am using HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 mostly for SAP systems. The latency and response time are very good, and the performance of the storage is excellent. I am very satisfied with the performance of the storage.

We are not using on-premises and cloud replication. We are using an on-premises solution across a few data centers, and we are replicating between data centers using on-premises solutions.

We are not facing issues with these storages, so we are not spending too much time on management. Our engineers are not spending excessive time on management purposes. We are using the call home feature of these storages, so HP calls us in case of any issues. We are easily aware of any issue or problem.

We are using high availability storage solutions with sync replication, which has helped us prevent the impact of accidental shutdowns or downtime of the storage in the past. I can share this as an example.

MetroCluster is very valuable. The performance is very good, but it is especially helpful for MetroCluster or stretch cluster functionality. I can share one use case. A few months ago, we had two data centers with dark fiber between them, and we were using sync replication between data centers and storages. One of our engineers accidentally powered off the storage in one data center, but all workloads simultaneously passed to the second data center and second storage. No one felt that migration. All systems continued to work from the second data center, and no users experienced any downtime or issues. All systems directly moved to the second data center and storage. This was a very good experience for me and helped us tremendously. If the systems had gone down, we may have faced many issues and problems.

The management console is simple and basic, and it shows us the information and any faulty situations. It also shows deduction rates and capacity. The dashboard is very successful and helps us see many features on the same screen.

For critical services and systems, this capability is important.

This feature may impact our operations. Most of the activities we were doing ourselves in the past, so this feature may help with management or future investment and also improve the product feature. It may help us with storage management, or we may use this storage for internal AI usage. Nowadays, AI investigations, research, and some activities are ongoing.

For sync replication, I am using storage replication where the RPO is zero and the RTO is also zero. For disaster recovery, we are using the same storage, but we are not using storage replication. For disaster recovery, we are using different software replication, such as VMware SRM. We are using SRM as a replication tool. At the background, as infrastructure, we are using HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000. The tool is VMware, and the hardware is HPE. With this software solution, we are able to achieve the required RPO and RTO values.

Until now, I have not faced any negative issues or disadvantages. I am happy to work with HPE storages. In our environment, we are using many different vendors, but for storage, we are only using HPE. I am happy to work with HPE for these storage solutions. I do not recall any bad issues or negative experiences.

HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is a new storage system that I have been using for eight months.

The stability should provide better than 99 percent uptime.

HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 can easily be extended. You can extend or add capacity with ease. You can also add new controllers, which impacts the scalability, performance, and capacity. You can extend it. HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 was just procured, so we have not extended the capacity or nodes yet.

I think the scalability capability is around 20 percent.

We are happy with the support in Turkey. From time to time, we face disk issues where disks can break. The support team comes and visits our site to replace the disk. We have not faced any problems with HPE support.

I would rate the customer service as nine out of ten.

From a technical perspective, I have seen that the deduction rates and compression rates are better than other storage solutions I have used, such as IBM storage I used in the past. The deduction and compression rates are superior to that storage. The management interface is simpler and easier than other vendors.

The setup is not complex; it is easy. Our engineers can easily install and configure the storage. We are also getting support from HPE as a vendor. The installation and configuration are straightforward and easy.

Installation and configuration save time. The main advantage of the storage is compression and deduplication. These features save capacity for us. Saving capacity is important to me as it impacts future investment and new capacity additions.

The initial cost was affordable. However, this year, I have received some quotations for HPE products, not only for storage but also for server products, and the prices are very high and have increased significantly. I received a quotation in April, and I have seen that prices in the past were more affordable. We are using compression and deduction features, so we are using three times the exact capacity because of the compression advantages. This year, the storage and server prices are somewhat higher, possibly due to memory prices.

An integrator is recommended for implementation.

I am not sure whether the storage admin is using certain features or not, as I am not a storage administrator.

My overall review rating for HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is nine out of ten.

I deployed HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 for three or four companies, which included deploying it on iSCSI targets. One customer was using it for Fiber Channel. We also used replication, real-time replication, or what is called live replication, which synchronizes two HPE Alletra Storage systems at the same time with each other. All of the storage volumes are being replicated from one side to the other side.

One hospital uses HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 with the live replication feature, and it has volumes on one side that are being replicated to another data center in a different building on the other side. If we need that volume to go real-time to the other side, it automatically does that. We are using Hyper-V as a hypervisor and we have VMs running on both sides, which are load balancing. If one side goes down, the other side will pick up all the VMs at the same time, and they will be only five seconds or even one second behind on the volume replications from one side to the other side.

One of the companies we used it for was a legal company, and they did not want to share with GreenLake, so we used it as a dark site. This dark site is not connecting or sharing any data on GreenLake due to their restriction and legal issues.

HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is mainly used for NVMe flash storage. It is very fast and the latency is very low. I have primarily focused on using it with the hypervisor and have deployed it in three different companies where I always created all volumes in flash. GreenLake is also used for monitoring and it can see all the volumes.

The best offerings are flash storage, which is faster, and live replication, which is a great feature for disaster recovery purposes. In case of any disaster, it picks up on the other side. The main product features are latency and IOPs, which have really great performance, and it gives more edge over other storages from other companies. This array is very great.

It helped our clients in terms of any failure as it will be there. It is highly available and has high performance for enterprise databases and virtualization. Our customers see the performance enhancement in their infrastructure. It is very flexible and scalable. In case they need more space, they can always order more shelves. It can be used with VMware and Hyper-V. You can install SQL workloads, Oracle, SAP HANA, and large virtualization platforms are also being used.

One of the customers used to have a ten-year-old Dell SAN and their latency was really high. They were experiencing about twenty-five and up millisecond latency, which was making their restore time very slow. Backups were running at about each VM, and even if it was a small VM, it took twenty to thirty minutes. After we migrated all the workloads to HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000, everything became very fast. All those smaller machines which used to take twenty to thirty minutes were taking five minutes to back up and fifteen minutes to restore the VM.

HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is highly complex. Some of the advanced features like replication are not very easy to set up. If we could do some minor management changes in that area, reporting could be better for customers. Also, the GreenLake dark site feature should be included. Rather than that, we have to open up a ticket with HPE and they have to disable that on their end. These are some of the key common improvements that need to be made in terms of manageability of HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000.

I do not see much room for improvement regarding HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 other than the complexity. If we add more training specific to workloads and make it more easier and flexible for consultants to deploy the solution for different customers, it would make it more usable for deployments. This will improve the deployment very well.

I have been deploying HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 for about two and a half years.

One of the hospitals where I deployed live replication for HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 has basically two Alletra Storage systems that they bought. One Alletra storage is in one building and the other one is on the other side. We created the live replication feature enabled between both of them. We created volume one on the first building, and then with the live replication feature, whatever is written into this volume one is being real-time replicated on the volume one on the other side. In case that volume has ten VMs and that whole storage is being offlined, that volume is being replicated real-time to the last second on the volume one of storage B. If that side goes down, the volume one with ten VMs will start up on the other side. Those machines will be live migrated onto the other hypervisors. In our scenario, we had host one, three, and five in site A and host two, four, and six on site B. Both of them are load sharing all the VMs and they can be live migrated real-time with no latency and they will be up and running all the times.

HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 has great scalability features. One feature is that you can add more disk anytime and add shelves. It is highly scalable. Performance is good and we have high availability and resiliency in the storage. It is also cloud-native with GreenLake integrated and is centrally managed. Users are being created on-premises and also in GreenLake where you can manage all operations. It also has a live feature of any hardware failure where HPE notifies you right away within one hour of any failure. Then you can open up a ticket and order and send the part right away. There are no issues in that regard.

My review rating for HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is nine point five out of ten.

HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is primarily used for managing data storage needs. The usual use cases involve all storage being generally used for the storage of computing operations and data that is required for a process. The host provides the capacity to host the application that we run on the storage. HPE Alletra Storage is used for many purposes.

The features of HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 that I prefer most include its performance. These features have benefited my organization by meeting our capacity requirements. If you are growing and your data and capacity are growing, that definitely helps to provide the capacity while adding the disk shelf or a different controller plus disk shelf. The performance level of HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 impacts our organization's processes by enhancing operational efficiency.

The main point for choosing HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 over the vendors we compared it with is the costing, which is much lower compared to the others. Currently, I believe HPE Alletra is giving good performance, and reliability totally depends on how many hardware failures we are getting. It could be a good solution, but the performance and reliability depend on how the hardware is sustained for a longer duration, including the controllers and everything.

I have never used the feature of HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 to move workloads from on-premises to the cloud and back.

I have been working with HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 for about six months.

I have never been in a situation where we tried to scale HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000. Currently, every storage vendor in the market is very scalable. You can scale in or scale out at any time without interruptions. I believe HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 will help in a similar way, but I have never dealt with the situation where I needed to scale the storage.

We often reach out to the technical support team of HPE. My experiences with them have been quite flexible, and their response was good because every company and vendor is working on some SLA parts. According to the priority of the ticket, we get the response and solutions when we are facing any issues, so it is quite good. I would rate the technical support from HPE about eight to nine, which would be a great solution.

Positive

Before using HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000, I worked with many other technologies for the same use cases. We actually worked on many technologies and vendors like EMC, which is Dell now, IBM, NetApp, and some others that are the market leaders we already worked with apart from HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000.

I have never been a part of the initial setup and deployment of HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000. The deployment was done by the HPE team, and we got the handover storage after configuration. We do implement things like host mapping and everything.

The decision to switch to HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is completely a business decision about what we are trying to achieve within a lower cost.

I am not sure about the pricing of HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 because I never dealt with the pricing part. I am not aware of whether we purchased HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 via AWS Marketplace or any other marketplace because the purchasing team is different.

Managing and monitoring our global block storage environment from HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000's single cloud console is perfectly fine, although I have never seen this feature in practice. HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 enables line of business or database admins to self-provision storage.

HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is on-premises in our organization and we use it as an on-premises device.

I believe we can achieve the targeted RPO and RTO with HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000. The flexibility of RPO and RTO with HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is important because it gives you confidence and customer satisfaction when providing a certain limit of SLA for RTO and RPO within a timeframe.

I would rate this review with an overall rating of eight out of ten.

We are now using HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 for the virtualization workload and cloud applications, which performs well. Previously, my customer was using Dell Unity storage, but they feel that HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 delivers more performance than that storage system. The product is very hassle-free.

My customer is very happy about the throughput and IOPS provided by HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000. Everything is now moving toward AI and security. My customer is using the analytics features and has plans for the future to incorporate analytics from a storage level as well. I think this is perfect for their needs.

With HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000, we observed that compression is very good. After three months of use, we continue to see excellent compression and deduplication capabilities. The customer is very happy about that. Performance is also good.

HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 makes storage management very easy to use. The customer can also get reporting and everything they need. The management is very easy and not harder than 3PAR. We can manage it with the GreenLake platform and also locally.

The pricing is a significant concern with HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 because although the product is perfect, the price is very high.

The pricing is the biggest matter that needs improvement with HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000. Another issue is that sometimes there is complexity when engaging with third-party applications, such as Oracle. This complexity could be improved.

We are working with the customer and partnering with HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 for more than six months. We gathered sizing information because many devices are involved, and after that, we deployed it with one of our customers.

HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is stable with a rating of ten out of ten. We have worked with it over the last three months with our customer, and their feedback is that it is very stable.

More than forty people are using HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000.

We can give technical support a rating of five out of five as we are very satisfied. HPE is excellent, especially for support. I have not seen this level of support from other vendors. I have been working with HPE for more than ten to twelve years, and the support is perfect. The support structure is very perfect because they have a depot locally and can provide 24/7 support and next business day support. The depot is upgraded every time. The support is very perfect, and this is why HPE has remained at the forefront for the last forty years.

We have completed one installation in Colombo with HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000, Alletra 10000 30, and we have also completed Synergy and SimpliVity installations. These are emerging products that we have deployed in Colombo and Maldives.

The investment with HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 provides a twenty percent return on investment.

We have recommended HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000, and as the distributor in Sri Lanka, we are trying to push our legacy customers to Alletra. We are currently proposing many quotes for HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000. The reduction with HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is more than fifty percent compared with the previous solution. We provided this review with an overall rating of ten out of ten.

We sell HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 directly to the customer. We get the pricing from HP, put some margin on it and we sell directly to the customer.

HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 enables a line of business or DB admins to self-provision storage. For our customers, HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 enables them to reduce the time required for storage provisioning and management.

The ability to scale capacity and performance independently has positively impacted our customer's operations.

The initial setup of HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is straightforward and easy. We are not dealing with many problems during the installation and setup.

We are not using the feature of HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 that enables customers to move workloads from on-premises to the cloud and back for now. I do not have an answer for it at this time.

The most important advantage we find in HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 as a managed service provider is not the storage itself but HP's GreenLake model, because it could be offered to our customers as an OPEX budget. That is why we are most of the time choosing HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000.

HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 sometimes helps to lower their storage costs, especially if the customer is using old storage and bought an expensive storage. Sometimes more expensive storages like NetApp storages or some IBM storages, if the customer is using that kind of storages before, their maintenance support and expansion costs are pricey. That is why sometimes customers choose HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 for its pricing advantages.

I have been dealing with HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 for about a year, but not in very much technical detail or deep dive technical detail.

The technical support for HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is adequate. There is no problem in that area. We also have some special relations with the HP Turkey office in terms of support. We are getting quick and prompt responses from HP both globally and locally.

I would rate their technical support an eight out of ten overall.

There is not that much room for improvement when it comes to response time or first-level support quality.

The initial setup of HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is straightforward and easy. We are not dealing with many problems during the installation and setup.

The pricing of HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is not very cheap but it is not very expensive either. It has some pricing disadvantages compared to Huawei storage, as we also sell sometimes Huawei storages. Our customers say that Huawei is much better in terms of performance and is also a cheaper choice.

The competitors have more models for different workloads than HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000. HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 has a couple of models that we can provide to our customers, but the competitors have different entry size, mid-level size or enterprise size models that could be used for AI workloads or VDI workloads. Competitors have more models for different use cases, but HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 does not have such a model portfolio. That is something that could be better.

The solution's 100% data availability guarantee is an important aspect of the product. We most of the time tell our customers that it's a 100% guarantee. That most of the time becomes a choosing point when we try to sell to our customers.

I do not have much experience in the area of HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000's AI-driven predictive analytics and performance reporting, so I am not able to answer that question.

The model portfolio of HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 should be increased. That's the most important part. Sometimes prices are becoming higher from the competitors. I remember that we have lost to Dell storage for certain projects. Pricing could be a little bit lower than now.

Huawei has a big penetration in the Turkish markets nowadays because of their performance and price effect. Huawei is becoming an important player in our market nowadays. Pure Storage has also introduced a new OPEX model which is called GreenFlex. Pure Storage has introduced the OPEX model to us as well. There was no other competitor in the Turkish market at least that could give an OPEX pricing model until this time. However, there are a couple of other competitors that are able to give OPEX models, especially Pure Storage nowadays. Pure Storage is becoming an important competitor. In terms of pricing and performance, Huawei is another.

HP should learn from its competitors by improving their price performance KPI points. They should investigate how Huawei is able to sell their products at lower prices and with higher performances. They need to look at that part.

My overall rating for this product is six out of ten.

I am using HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000, which is a SAN storage that I use for our production environment where I have configured the cluster in an active-active configuration for zero downtime.

This setup fulfills our very high production requirements very well.

Active-active means data is replicating between two HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 clusters in asynchronous mode, so there is no downtime for production.

I have never experienced any issues regarding production performance, and the IOPS and all performance metrics are very good from HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000.

The performance of HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is very good.

Regarding speed, reliability, and performance, these are all very good for this storage. It is also very easy to monitor.

If your production has 100% uptime, this is a very significant achievement for any company because there is no downtime.

Regarding security, HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is very secure because they use encryption with the latest encryption methods such as AES 128 and 256. I have no concerns regarding security.

HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is very reliable with very minimal hardware failure. It is very good in data reduction rate, production, and IOPS. As storage, it provides very good performance.

Regarding the data reduction rate for HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000, it is providing very good results, but for future challenges, they definitely need to work on that.

They need to provide Capex and Apex level utilization for their customers.

Because there is always room for improvement everywhere, that is why I have given the rating of nine.

HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is stable.

It is very easy to scale without any downtime, so it is very good.

I definitely appreciate HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 support because whenever I request support, they provide immediate support if there is any very urgent requirement.

Earlier there was HPE 3PAR and then later I moved on to HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000.

The implementation was done directly from the vendor.

As of now, the setup cost is good. They are very competitive compared to other vendors.

However, going forward, HPE needs to think more about this because they need to remain in the market and be competitive with other vendors, so they definitely need to work on it.

I evaluated HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 with Dell EMC and NetApp. HPE was the chosen solution.

I would recommend HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 because it is very good storage.

They provide solutions according to your needs and requirements in terms of money and production requirements. It is a time saver, though I cannot comment specifically on cost savings. I rate this product a 9 out of 10.

I usually recommend HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 in the government sector. We are the integrator, not just a consultant or using Cisco products ourselves.

The features I find most valuable in HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 are related to the core solutions we provide in networking. The ability to scale capacity and performance independently has positively impacted my operations regarding performance and capacity. It has helped lower storage costs. The AI-driven predictive analytics and performance reporting are already open for AI, so it will definitely help create all the necessary improvements. We have already empanelled all the solutions, so AI definitely impacts analyzing, recommendations, and performance. The solution has definitely helped reduce the time required for storage provisioning.

We are facing issues related to your services and support with HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000. Your product is very good, but we are facing technical issues and issues related to queries that have not been resolved in a timely manner, which would be improved on your side.

I would like to improve the response time first of all, and the second thing is clarity on who will be responsible for technical support. We faced situations when getting support where multiple channels were involved, and sometimes a technical person would call, but there was no call and no exact support at the right time.

The pricing is much higher compared to others, and if I compare it, it is a little higher, but overall it is acceptable. You definitely have to improve your pricing first of all.

Additional features that I would like to see in the future to make it closer to ten depend on situations, so I cannot specify at this time. All the features you have already applied in HP storage are good, but I think AI-based calculations and analyzing will be much better.

I have been dealing with this product for two to three years.

We do not have any issues with HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000's ability to self-provision storage for line of business or DB admins.

I do consider HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 as scalable enough.

If I can rate my current experience with technical support, I would say approximately seven.

I have worked with similar products and see some good competition to HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000.

This flexibility has definitely been important to me.

I do not think it is the best option on the market, as I am looking for options as well from their competitors.

We are still working with Cisco products as we are working with Cisco also. We are mainly focused on HP, but for server and storage related needs, we are working with Dell also. We have been dealing with Cisco as well as other vendors. HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 does not yet enable us to move workloads from on-premises to the cloud and back, as we have already set up the cloud functions and have no need. This solution enables line of business or DB admins to self-provision storage. This issue must be important to resolve, and overall, it is acceptable. I will definitely be looking for a hybrid solution.

It depends on the need. I cannot say any predictions at this time, as it depends on needs and how users can use and create everything, so it depends on situations. Our use of HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 has been extensive, with approximately 400 to 500 users. Regarding disaster recovery, I have found the RPO and RTO to offer flexible options. I have given this review an overall rating of eight.

This solution is used as a data store for real production type workloads. We have been using it regularly and it has a significant positive impact on our organization. Our data center disaster recovery strategy is based on this solution, and all of our data backup needs are met.

In the past three years, I have not had even one escalation call, which demonstrates how simple it is to manage and monitor our global block storage environment using HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000.

We chose this model because it suits our on-premises environment, and HPE has successfully implemented both HP GreenLake for Primera and then HP GreenLake for HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000, and we are satisfied. We also have StoreOnes for archiving, which includes a call home feature with dedicated support personnel who keep us proactively informed regarding consumption levels. When we set a timer or limit, the system proactively sends an email notification.

HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 enables a line of business or database administrators to self-provision storage.

There is still room for reducing the cost. While we have mitigated the ease of administration, the cost remains an area for improvement.

Since this is primarily a cost center, we must maintain the infrastructure. We are serious about reducing costs, but this requires a long-term strategy.

Backup and restore solutions inherently have overhead because we maintain an on-premises installation. This is part of our infrastructure costs and we accept it. In a price-sensitive market like India, obtaining an administrator is much more cost-effective than the cloud alternative, which is almost four times as expensive.

I used the solution recently, approximately one month ago.

In the past three years, I have not had even one escalation call, which demonstrates how simple it is to manage and monitor our global block storage environment using HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000.

When you have deterministic load, scalability is not a significant problem. We are not a large enterprise company where we need to expand storage capacity overnight.

HPE technical support is truly helpful.

Positive

We have been an HP shop overall, and that is the primary feedback I want to provide.

The deployment required a couple of days.

I faced no challenges with migrating because HPE assisted us with all of those aspects.

We are working with the on-premises version of HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000.

HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 enables a line of business or database administrators to self-provision storage.

We conduct capacity management for the next five years and have appropriate milestones that allow us to increase or decrease storage space. The system also provides a warning if we exceed ninety percent capacity.

We are not considering moving workloads to the cloud. I would rate this product an eight out of ten.
