Learn English – ny other structure that can replace “on one hand,…, on the other hand”

sentence-structure

"on one hand,…, on the other hand" can be used to describe two aspects of something. But I am wondering if there is other structure can be used for this purpose. For example,

On one hand, the backgrounds need not be re-computed when new data arrives, rather, they are updated with much less computational cost; on the other hand, it helps capture the potential unusual in a timely manner, and ask the doctors, drug laboratories or insurance companies to pay prompt attention.

The structures I can think of include "not only, …, but also", for example,

This is not only because the backgrounds need not be re-computed when new data arrives, but aslo it helps capture the potential unusual in a timely manner, and ask the doctors, drug laboratories or insurance companies to pay prompt attention.

Are there any other structures can be used for the same purpose of describing two aspects of one thing? Thanks!
