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.

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