Alletra + object storage tiering, anyone done this combo?
Looking at pairing HPE Alletra for our hot/primary tier with an S3-compatible object storage layer underneath for everything that doesn't need flash performance. The capacity economics on flash alone don't work for us at our data volumes, but we don't want to give up Alletra for the workloads that actually benefit from it.
Cloudian's the platform that's come up most in this context since they've got documented integration patterns with Alletra specifically, letting the flash tier stay smaller by tiering cold data off automatically. Has anyone actually run this in production long enough to know if the tiering logic is smart about what's genuinely "cold" versus just infrequently touched?
