The nice thing about it is that it truly integrates with the cloud, so I can move my volumes bi-directionally in and out of the cloud.

HPE Alletra dHCI was good because we could have the vVols, which we are using for our production server, with the snapshots.

It's helpful as you stand on high-end storage. Alletra offers up to 99% availability, providing excellent stability. You also get the benefits of an HCI solution with a template and upgradability at any time.

With regards to performance, configuration, and longevity it is upgradeable, which means it has a good TCO rate. These are valuable aspects to me.

Their documentation needs to be simpler to read yet more detailed so it's easy to compare models and easier for clients to pick.

The only issue I'm really running into is we have a SQL server that we're having a lot of high IO latency on one of my drives and it's my data drive from my SQL server. It's not really giving me any good information as to where that latency is coming from, so that's what I'm trying to track down and troubleshoot.

The solution must be hypervisor-agnostic.

This year 2022, we have the possibility to include new kinds of storage with a high disk availability, such as Alletra 6000 and Alletra 9000. Those are the new storage available. If we would like to improve the quality and the capability and the high availability of these products, we can choose between different costs. This is another benefit from this HPE Nimble Storage dHCI solution of hyper-converged.
