    2.2. Setup Service provides cloud-based wizards to help set up and initialize newly installed HPE Alletra storage.

    2.3. Data Ops Management provides visibility into resource/capacity utilization across multiple devices, even at a granular level.

    2.4. Snapshots management and visualization of read-only images of a volume at a specific point in time within the dashboard of Data Ops Management.

    2.5. Block Storage focuses on storage lifecycle management for block provisioning, native replication, and snapshot-based data protection. The Service makes it easy to provision, protect and manage volumes and volume sets.

    2.6. Intent-based provisioning removes manual planning using spreadsheets by ensuring workloads are always deployed on the right HPE Alletra storage resource (device), by understanding system and meta-data for real-time context into resource headroom.

    2.7. Capacity and performance trends determine resource utilization of HPE Alletra Storage using key performance indicators of capacity in an interactive time-series graph for storage system, volume, ports, and hosts.

    2.8. Alerts and notifications enable customers to receive fleet (multiple device deployment) wide alerts and notifications with pursuant actions to manage HPE Alletra storage at scale. Monitoring at scale with exception-based monitoring and reporting of highlighting issues with appropriate resolution steps.

    2.9. Advanced reporting, monitoring, and support leveraging AIOps - provides predictive analytics to be performed within the platform; predicting, preventing, and resolving problems.

    2.10. Thin provisioning enables efficient HPE Alletra storage utilization by dedicating installed HPE Alletra storage capacity on-demand.
