Canada is not a big market for HPE. They offered a solution called Cloud Volumes that are based in Europe or in the U.S. Because of compliance reasons, it is not hosted in Canada. Our customers in Canada cannot use it because it has to be compliant in the same country. We would like it to be available to our clients in Canada as it is cheaper than going to AWS, Azure, or Google. I would like to see the storage available to connect with other external solutions, other than just HPE. It is currently only available on their hardware. For example, for a customer who does not have HPE hardware, they should be able to connect or interact with the cloud volumes.

As far as improvements in the product itself, it would be good to upgrade the speed and performance to improve the data access time. Also, we would like to see better security added to protect the data and access from hackers. These are not missing features that need to be added, it is only that existing features could be enhanced to make the product better.

How does it work?
Companies will rent space on the cloud-provider’s data servers. These companies will pay the host cloud vendor for the ability to run their applications, perhaps host any services or backup data to the cloud. This...
