It's allowed us to compete with cloud storage providers like AWS to put together a scalable on-premises solution of more than 20PB at a similar pricepoint.
HPE Apollo Systems seamlessly integrates into Omni-Path architecture and is certified for Linux, offering scalable software-defined solutions. It delivers substantial compute power and flexibility for AI and workflows, benefiting from all-flash drives for reliability. However, there's limited storage expansion and network protocol flexibility, missing InfiniBand support. Users note cooling and technical support improvements are needed, as well as compatibility with standardization like RAID drivers on Ubuntu Linux. Operational costs are efficient with robust documentation.
