    Definitely would recommend this unit or this family of units into most peoples organizations. Especially if you're starting fresh with a whole dedicated SAN and dont have to move a ton of data over to these (though that is possible, it is very messy). If you're moving from existing storage, then you will have to be prepared for some sore spots!

    In our organization, we are using HPE Cloud Volumes for backups storage. HPE Cloud Volumes has given the flexibility of maximum availability and scalability. Now adding space is not a cumbersome process and it can be easily managed by HPE Cloud Volumes as per our need. In another scenario, we have used HPE Cloud Volumes for temporary storing the data for Datacenter move activity. On the downside, I think HPE Cloud Volumes solution is not suitable for temporary need as its more of a long term solution.
