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.
When the system first came out, it had some problems with the Data Center Cloud Console, which made implementation difficult. However, I have implemented it over the last four months, and it works very easily. The implementation in the Data Center Cloud Console and the startup and configuration is very easy, working similarly to the old Nimble OS systems.

HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 could be improved by integrating it with GreenLake, as this would enable us to do end-to-end monitoring across both on-prem and cloud environments better. It has a lot of capabilities, but we haven't yet put it in action.
It's still a block environment. The file storage is too big. If they can lower that so I can store files and objects on the same device, that would be great. You need two different boxes for block and file storage. They aren't using the same hardware. It's the same hardware, yet not a compiled solution. I'd like one box in my data center. I see some features from InfoSight in the GreenLake management platform. However, it's not on par yet.

I do not have any areas for improvement. We are experimenting with Alletra MP. In the next couple of years, we will be migrating our primary systems to Alletra MP, so I have no need for new features at the moment.

My main concern is that changes made on the devices take a long time to configure and show their status. It's very inconvenient how long this takes. For example, if I configure five switches at a time. They all come with the same default name, so I have to identify them somehow. I select the first switch, change its name, and save the configuration. But it still has the same default name. So, I'm having a hard time figuring out what configuration has been implemented... Is it configured? Why is it not shown in the portal? I'm disappointed with the portal. The debugging of devices could use improvement. Connection problems on devices as well. Better logging within GreenLake to understand what's happening with devices—why something isn't working, those kinds of things.

I don't have a feature set I'm looking for right now for the next release.

We just started using the solution. With support, occasionally, we have a little trouble escalating things.
