Seamless data management and cost reduction achieved through advanced storage capabilities

What is our primary use case? My main use case for HPE Alletra Storage is production server storage. How has it helped my organization? The speed and reliability of HPE Alletra Storage have benefited my organization by allowing us to avoid worrying about the high cost of moving to the cloud quite yet. What is most valuable? The features of HPE Alletra Storage that I appreciate the most are speed and reliability. HPE Alletra Storage has reduced our data management operation expenses. Since we're such a small shop, we replaced two other storage devices with it, so the cost of support, maintenance, time, and labor has helped reduce our overall expenses. HPE Alletra Storage has helped reduce the time I spend on capacity planning. We don't spend a lot of time on that since we're so small. I assess HPE Alletra Storage's capacity efficiency as awesome because we've reduced from two storage arrays down to just one Alletra while still having so much more room. HPE Alletra provides a cloud-like operational model on-premises for managing data infrastructure. The cloud-like operational model of HPE Alletra Storage has affected our operations such as deployment, provisioning, and day-to-day management by increasing our development to production time. What needs improvement? There are so many features of HPE Alletra Storage that I probably don't even know about, and as a small shop, we probably don't take advantage of half of them. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using HPE Alletra Storage for about a year. What do I think about the stability of the solution? I have not experienced any downtime, crashes, or performance issues with HPE Alletra Storage. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? HPE Alletra Storage scales with the growing needs of my organization great. That said, typically, our expansion storage isn't very fast. How are customer service and support? I would evaluate customer service or technical support for HPE Alletra Storage as excellent since I haven't had to call them at all. How would you rate customer service and support? Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? Prior to adopting HPE Alletra Storage, I was using an old HP storage solution. How was the initial setup? My experience with deploying HPE Alletra Storage was easy. What was our ROI? I haven't seen an exact ROI with HPE Alletra Storage. I have experienced a reduction of labor, as managing one device instead of two has helped. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? My experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing for HPE Alletra Storage was good, however, licensing is always a challenge since nobody enjoys those costs, though having support going forward gives me peace of mind. Which other solutions did I evaluate? Before selecting HPE Alletra Storage, I looked at Synology and remember that there was another option. I don't recall what it was. What stood out to me in my evaluation process was that Synology fits in between the straight consumer and enterprise level, as they didn't seem to have a full-on enterprise product HPE Alletra does. What other advice do I have? We haven't had to do any support calls on HPE Alletra Storage yet, and it's been a year. I would rate HPE Alletra Storage a ten out of ten and definitely recommend it to other organizations looking to upgrade from older equipment that doesn't have the same feature set. Which deployment model are you using for this solution? On-premises Disclaimer: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer.

Improved efficiency in storage provisioning reduces project allocation time

What is our primary use case? My main use cases for HPE Alletra Storage are dHCI and virtualization. How has it helped my organization? The benefits of using Alletra for my organization are that the amount of time it takes for my team to define storage and allocate storage for projects has reduced, and there's less training, too. It's just easy to teach the team how to do it. What is most valuable? The feature I appreciate the most about HPE Alletra Storage is how easy it is to provision storage. We've reduced time spent on capacity planning by 25%. The capacity efficiency is good. The deduplication and compression seem to be getting high in terms of ratios. We use it through GreenLake. It's simplified management. What needs improvement? To improve HPE Alletra Storage, it would help us if CIFS is included in one of the later versions, especially since they recently released NFS. We struggle to gain access to senior support engineers. Typically, we need to escalate via sales. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using HPE Alletra Storage for nine months. What do I think about the stability of the solution? We have had one failed drive, however, we didn't have any downtime. Knock on wood, we haven't had any issues. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? HPE Alletra Storage scales with the growing needs of my organization. How are customer service and support? We had some support engineers who were not qualified to do the work, and we had to wait until we could get some qualified people to come out to fix it, which was a low point from support. It was our first experience with HPE in years. We'd used HPE in the past, became Dell EMC customers, then transitioned back to HPE, so that was not a great experience. Since that has been resolved, however, support has been really good. How would you rate customer service and support? Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? Prior to adopting HPE Alletra Storage, we were using Dell Unity and VxRail to address similar needs. Alletra gave us more flexibility to expand and the pricing was better. How was the initial setup? Initially, we had some struggle points. The Array that came out was new and there was some technical issues. However, sine then, it's been great. What about the implementation team? The implementation process was smooth. We had professional services come out to help us. What was our ROI? We have seen an ROI with HPE Alletra Storage since the maintenance costs of our previous solution were higher. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that the licensing was that it was fairly simple, and the cost was better for us than a Dell solution. Which other solutions did I evaluate? Before selecting HPE Alletra Storage, we considered using our Alletra deployment as part of a dHCI solution for hyper-converged. However, we were looking at the competitor Dell VxRail solution. What other advice do I have? My advice to other organizations considering HPE Alletra Storage is to ensure that when you deploy it, you have all the necessary components in place that the teams that will install it need. I would rate HPE Alletra Storage overall as a nine on a scale of one to ten. Which deployment model are you using for this solution? On-premises Disclaimer: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer. What is our primary use case? My main use cases for HPE Alletra Storage are dHCI and virtualization. How has it helped my organization? The benefits of using Alletra for my organization are that the amount of time it takes for my team to define storage and allocate storage for projects has reduced, and there Read more

Provisioning and encryption ease improve data storage efficiency

What is our primary use case? Our main use cases for HPE Alletra Storage are that all of our data is on there, including SQL, Windows, file servers, ZenApp servers, and everything. How has it helped my organization? The encryption feature benefits our organization significantly, as we had to buy separate products that used to involve more hardware and licensing costs to store the keys. With HPE Alletra Storage, this is inbuilt, so it obviously saved a lot of money. What is most valuable? The features of HPE Alletra Storage that I prefer the most are the ease of provisioning and encryption, where the ability to provision a volume used to be difficult. It's easier to do now. Feature-wise, it's pretty simple; just a one-click button to enable it, so implementing it was pretty easy too. As for provisioning, in the old days, we had to be really specific about what type of volume we wanted, the parity size, and the cage protection model. We used to be a 3PAR shop, and transitioning to HPE Alletra Storage made provisioning very simple and easy. HPE Alletra Storage has helped reduce the time I spend on capacity planning as InfoSight plays a big part; it tells you what to expect to a degree, and the tools it provides give you good insight on when to expect to expand, alongside the support, which also gives you good insight. It has reduced the time I spend on capacity planning by about 80%. When assessing HPE Alletra Storage's capacity efficiency, if you're talking about data dedupe, it dedupes fairly efficiently; coming from older storage model systems that did one-to-one, we see at least a two-to-one dedupe, so that's definitely a 50% reduction. Performance-wise, you're looking at different models; a 6030 gives you more than a 6010, and a 6050 gives you more than a 6030. When we transitioned from a 3PAR F400 or an 8200, the performance definitely increased by 100%. HPE Alletra Storage provides a cloud-like operational model on-prem for managing our data infrastructures; we are a private cloud/managed service provider, so we don't prefer the level of cloud management of the infrastructure or the storage. We prefer to keep it in-house, however, it obviously gives us more options, where you can be just on-prem or have management from the cloud, providing a lot of flexibility. What needs improvement? To improve HPE Alletra Storage, it needs to have a true active-active controller; it claims to have an active-active controller from the back end, however, the second node is pretty much sitting there doing nothing. The MV 10000 series, which is the next series, is an improvement to HPE Alletra, and HPE is already doing that. In the next release, I would prefer to see better dedupe features; I know other companies do excellent dedupe, and they have protection group policies, meaning you have immutable data in case of a ransomware attack. If you're on the SAN, it should give you a way to protect that data without being erased. Other vendors have that capability built-in, ensuring that you can't erase the data, so features similar to that would be great. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using HPE Alletra Storage for about three years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? I would assess the stability and reliability of HPE Alletra Storage as being quite robust, as we haven't had an outage. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? HPE Alletra Storage scales with the growing needs of our organization; we size it based on customer needs and plan for immediate growth in the first and second years. The expansion process is pretty straightforward; we estimate growth after two to three years, building in enough space and power to expand easily. The process is very simple; it just involves connecting another shelf and adding the storage. How are customer service and support? When evaluating customer service and technical support, I want to highlight that, similar to my experience with 3PAR and Nimble, Nimble support was outstanding, and I never had an issue. The support for HPE Alletra is about the same; however, there are occasions, especially after hours or on weekends, where we might get the B team, resulting in a bit of a runaround as you have to gather logs and go through troubleshooting steps. If it's the A team during the day, the solutions are usually quite good. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate customer service and technical support as a nine. To make it a ten, I would prefer avoiding the runaround and the delays I sometimes experience with weekend support; in previous years, I would get immediate responses and solutions, and now the process can take several days, which can be frustrating. Streamlining that process to get quicker answers would significantly improve my rating. How would you rate customer service and support? Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? Prior to adopting HPE Alletra Storage, I wasn't using another solution to address similar needs, as we're an HPE shop, and we were on 3PAR, which effectively transformed into Primera and then into HPE Alletra. So, all our products have been HPE. How was the initial setup? During the evaluation process, I did not notice anything that particularly stood out, both positive and negative; it was a better product than what we had and fulfilled our needs from our previous solutions. It was just a learning curve to adapt to the new product and the new UI. The deployment model for HPE Alletra Storage is on-prem. What was our ROI? I have seen a return on investment with HPE Alletra Storage. The return on investment is a bit of complicated math; the way we sell storage to our customers is by the terabyte, with locked-in prices for three or five years. It's not possible to go back and compare it and factor money in, but we try to achieve a return of interest within around 18 months for a three-year contract and 36 months for a five-year contract, just as examples to get the money back. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? Regarding my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing, I am not directly involved; we go through our third-party vendor, and we pretty much just stick with what he gives us in terms of good pricing. Which other solutions did I evaluate? Before selecting HPE Alletra Storage, we considered various other solutions, but we're an HPE shop, so we stick with whatever our vendor gives us. Our vendor said that after Primera, HPE Alletra is the next big thing, so we just set it up. What other advice do I have? The solution's impact on data management operations expenses depends on what model you had, what model you went to, the size of the data, and the type of data, so it depends on many factors. While I'm not sure if it reduced or increased costs, it definitely did not go down. HPE GreenLake AI Ops enables me to get assistance from senior support engineers without having to go through support escalations, and the basic support has been pretty good. I would rate HPE Alletra Storage overall as an eight out of ten; while it has dedupe numbers and encryption at rest, the IOPS depend on the model, and similar models from different vendors tend to have better IOPS. Which deployment model are you using for this solution? On-premises If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use? Other Disclaimer: My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer. What is our primary use case? Our main use cases for HPE Alletra Storage are that all of our data is on there, including SQL, Windows, file servers, ZenApp servers, and everything. How has it helped my organization?

The benefits for my organization include reduced operational workload and complexity. What is most valuable? The feature I appreciate most about HPE Alletra Storage is its simplicity. HPE Alletra Storage has reduced our data management operation expenses. The cloud-like operational model has drastically affected operations such as deployment, provisioning, and day-to-day management, improving our management timeframe. HPE Alletra Storage enables me to get assistance from senior support engineers without going through support escalations. The direct access to senior support engineers is crucial for us. The solution has helped reduce the time spent on capacity planning by approximately two to four hours. The uptime was notably improved compared to our previous system, being two to four times faster. I have not expanded usage yet. What needs improvement? HPE Alletra Storage could be improved in the observability GUI by consolidating information in one place instead of having it separated. It's currently too compartmentalized. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using HPE Alletra Storage for at least two years now. What do I think about the stability of the solution? I haven't experienced any downtime, crashes, or performance issues. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? HPE Alletra Storage is scaling effectively with the growing needs of my organization. We don't have problems. How are customer service and support? As an engineer, the internal service we provide for running databases receives positive feedback from database administrators. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate customer service and technical support as a nine. This rating is based on their fast response time and readily available assistance when needed. The escalation process is very efficient. How would you rate customer service and support? Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Direct access to senior support has improved operational efficiency with faster data infrastructure management

What is our primary use case? My main use case for HPE Alletra Storage is storage. How has it helped my organization? The storage features benefited my organization since we were able to duplicate our Active Directory and the capacity to do our EDR. What is most valuable? The features of HPE Alletra Storage that I prefer most are storage. HPE GreenLake AI ops enables us to get assistance from senior support engineers without having to go through support escalations. I'm the director of IT. So if things go down, I'd like to get it fixed immediately, and storage is a big part of that. While not definte, since I haven't used it long enough, the solution likely helps reduce the time spent on capacity planning. It runs fast. It works fine. The cloud-like operational model for on-prem works fast and I like the GUI interface. What needs improvement? The solution runs pretty good right now, although I haven't used it for too long. The features are pretty spot on. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using HPE Alletra Storage for less than two months. What do I think about the stability of the solution? I have experienced no downtime, crashes, or performance issues. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? The solution scales well. How are customer service and support? The issue I faced with technical support was that the power supply they sent was the wrong one since it was a case unit. It was a 240 and we needed a 120. Once that was resolved, everything went smoothly. I understood that it was basically a supply and demand situation, so there wasn't much they could do. Once they received the part, they delivered it overnight. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate customer service and the technical support line a seven since they didn't have the part that I needed right away. That was one of the main reasons I went with them, expecting they would have parts readily available. How would you rate customer service and support? Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? Prior to adopting HPE Alletra Storage, I was using an on-prem storage unit, which was usually Veeam. We wanted to go to all HP. Scalability and the fact we could go all AI were two big factors. How was the initial setup? The biggest challenge was again down on that unit. The power supply was not the correct power supply, and it took forever for them to send me the one that I needed. It took five months to get it. What was our ROI? It's only been a few months; it's hard to measure the ROI. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? The vendor gave me the price, and I liked it, so I bought it. What other advice do I have? Scalability and AI capabilities were the factors that led me to consider a change. What stood out about the product was our desire to transition completely to HPE to accommodate AI and eventually change the whole infrastructure to HPE. My advice to other organizations considering HPE Alletra Storage is to ensure they have the correct power supply before proceeding with installation. The deployment model for HPE Alletra Storage is hybrid. On a scale of one to ten, I rate HPE Alletra Storage a ten. Which deployment model are you using for this solution? Hybrid Cloud If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Provisioning and management ease enhances storage efficiency

What is our primary use case? Our main use cases for the HPE Alletra Storage are for primary storage; we have four Alletra arrays, using two of them for primary storage and the other two for backup workloads. How has it helped my organization? The benefits of Alletra for our organization include the ease of detecting when we have a storage or volume that's running low, and being able to allocate space to those is simpler than other management platforms I've used. What is most valuable? The features I appreciate most about the HPE Alletra Storage are its ease of provisioning storage and management. From one console, we can manage all four of our arrays, making management significantly easier than previous software or storage arrays I've managed in the past. The solution has reduced our data management operations expenses, although we haven't quantified that yet. We know that expenses have been reduced because we have consolidated storage, managing one set of storage from one vendor instead of having two or three different storage arrays from different vendors. I can definitely say that the solution has reduced the time I spend on capacity planning. That said, we have not quantified that. I would assess the capacity efficiency of the HPE Alletra Storage as a reduction in time. We no longer have to dig and find out when or actually act, as it alerts us when we can set thresholds for low space or performance issues, allowing us to manage our arrays more proactively. What needs improvement? To improve the HPE Alletra Storage, I would suggest including smart functions and AI capabilities on the Nimble versions of the Alletra arrays since we are not using the MP version at this time. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using the HPE Alletra Storage for about three years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? I would assess the stability and reliability of the HPE Alletra Storage as very good; only the initial rollout had issues, but for the last two years, it has been very reliable. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? The HPE Alletra Storage scales with our growing needs, but we haven't expanded usage yet; that's something we are currently considering. How are customer service and support? On a scale from one to ten, I would rate customer service and technical support a nine. Since our initial rollout where we had issues, HPE worked with us to resolve them, and whenever we needed to talk to a rep with questions, we could reach someone quickly. How would you rate customer service and support? Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? Prior to adopting the HPE Alletra Storage, we were using another solution, but I can't recall the name right now. The main reasons we moved were capacity, scalability, cost, and performance. How was the initial setup? There were challenges initially, deploying it. I'm not sure there was an issue with compatibility between our ESX host connecting to storage, or something of that nature. However, we would constantly drop storage. We did work with HP and our third-party integrators to get that issue resolved. Since then, we haven't had an issue, even though there were initial onboarding challenges. Once we got those issues resolved, it's been pretty solid. What was our ROI? We haven't seen a return on investment with the HPE Alletra Storage other than the initial purchase price as we have not quantified operational costs. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? My experience with the pricing and setup costs of the HPE Alletra Storage was phenomenal, which is one of the reasons our organization decided to go with it, as the setup costs were in some cases half the price of some of the other competitors with even more features. Which other solutions did I evaluate? In evaluating solutions before the HPE Alletra Storage, we considered some other HPE offerings such as the MP, however, the cost was so much more than what we needed at the time. Looking forward, we could leverage some of that MP functionality, but cost remains a factor. What other advice do I have? The HPE Alletra Storage has not yet provided a cloud-like operational model on-prem for managing data infrastructure. We have not fully leveraged the cloud functionality of the Alletra yet, and while I know it integrates with GreenLake, we're here to learn how we can use all the functionality of the Alletra arrays. My overall rating for the HPE Alletra Storage is a nine out of ten. Disclaimer: My company has a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer. What is our primary use case? Our main use cases for the HPE Alletra Storage are for primary storage; we have four Alletra arrays, using two of them for primary storage and the other two for backup workloads.
