HPE Alletra dHCI Reviews

The solution is easy to use.  

It is easier to manage compared to the other vendors.

The pricing is good.

The stability seems to be reliable. 

The user interface is not as good or easy as the competition, for example, Nutanix. That's what we do find. 

The initial setup is a little bit complicated. 

We'd like to see file sharing capability, for file shares, to be available and much larger.

I've used the solution for 15 years at this point. it's been a while. 

The stability is good. We haven't seen any issues at the moment. It's working well. 

The solution is definitely scalable. If you're looking at SimpliVity, all of them are scalable. It's quite a simple process. You just buy a couple more nodes and then add it to it and it upgrades.

We typically deal with medium companies. That is less than 1000 users. We also do lighter products if a client requires it.

I have some knowledge of Nutanix.

I don't install it as much. I'm not the installer. I'm the seller. I wouldn't know from an installation point of view.

My understanding is it's just a bit complicated to install. The dHCI just takes a bit longer than the other vendors, however, once it's up and running, it's a good product, and gives you some nice features.

We can't complain. The price is good.

I'm a reseller.

We used to work with 700s, we don't sell the 700s anymore. Now, we are doing dHCI.

I would like to let people know that it is as easy as they say it is. It works as they say it does. The only feature I would want to have is it must be Fibre Channel, however, I don't think that's going to happen. Other than that, it's a great little product.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

Nimble Storage can be used for any practical application that requires storage.

Nimble Storage is a capable platform with high availability. 

Nimble Storage's integration with the management software could be better. And to my understanding, Nimble Storage is a block storage system. You need to add another server for file services. I think it would be helpful to have other forms of storage included with Nimble Storage.

Nimble Storage has been a part of our main portfolio for the past two years. 

Nimble Storage is highly stable.

HPE technical support is great. 

Setting up Nimble Storage isn't complex. We're in the process of implementing it for one of our
clients, and we're on the BI interface. We haven't implemented the storage yet. We usually deploy with our partner first to test the implementation, get some feedback from our partners, and deploy it later ourselves. It takes two or three systems engineers to deploy.

I rate Nimble Storage nine out of 10. I would recommend Nimble Storage. It's the best solution that HP has right now. We haven't had any problems, so I can't say anything bad about it. Nimble Storage is a rich in-between solution that covers everything from computing to virtualization and storage. My recommendation is to take full advantage of Nimble Storage beyond just a storage solution and incorporate it to get the availability and scalability of the infrastructure.

We use HPE Nimble Storage dHCI as a storage solution.

HPE Nimble Storage dHCI gives organizations cost savings because it provides high performance compared to the other solutions. It has a good deduplication and compression ratio.

The solution is useful for taking storage snapshots, has high performance, and the CASL architecture is good for optimizing workloads.

The solution could improve by providing better file-level restoration and DVX system options.

I have been using HPE Nimble Storage dHCI for approximately six months.

The solution is stable. They meet their 99.999% reliability standard.

The solution can scale but other solutions can do it easier.

I have used Datrium DVX previously.

The installation takes approximately one day. There are other solutions that are easier to install than HPE Nimble Storage dHCI. We have to register the host IPs and gateways but in other solutions, it does it automatically making it less tedious.

If customers were to purchase this solution it would be a good investment because they are always innovating and have good architecture.

The solution has good technology when comparing to the market today. Even though HPE acquired Nimble Storage, they kept on innovating it. 

I rate HPE Nimble Storage dHCI an eight out of ten.
