Hewlett Packard Enterprise transforms data lifecycle management
Hewlett Packard Enterprise has introduced new file, block, disaster, and backup recovery data services designed to assist customers in eliminating data silos, reducing cost and complexity, and enhancing performance. The new file storage data services provide scale-out, enterprise-grade performance for data-intensive workloads, while the expanded block services offer mission-critical storage at a mid-tier price point.
The new file and block offerings leverage a flexible architecture through HPE Alletra Storage MP, allowing customers to store, manage, and protect all types of data from a single, unified platform in the hybrid cloud. Together, the new data services deliver an intuitive cloud operating experience that empowers customers to transform their data lifecycle management and thrive in the era of insight.
“Customers today face unprecedented challenges in managing their data. The rapid increase in the volume and complexity of data has forced organizations to manage it all with a costly combination of siloed storage solutions,” said Tom Black, executive vice president and general manager, HPE Storage. “The new HPE GreenLake data services and expanded HPE Alletra innovations make it easier and more economical to manage multiple types of data, storage protocols, and workloads, allowing customers to focus on accelerating innovation and driving business results.”
Businesses of all sizes seek to leverage data to improve outcomes while reducing the cost and complexity of data management. In the meantime, the volume of data generated globally is expected to double by 2026.
Organizations are now faced with a plethora of workload types and data protocols, each requiring unique support and management systems, and struggle to backup, protect, and recover the business-critical data.
To assist organizations in overcoming this data lifecycle nightmare, HPE is introducing a new, block- or file-store-configurable modular storage solution. The HPE Alletra Storage MP supports a disaggregated infrastructure with multiple scalable storage protocols on the same hardware. Customers can deploy, manage, and orchestrate data and storage services regardless of workload and storage protocol on a single, unified cloud platform. The flexibility of HPE Alletra Storage MP offers a better price-to-performance ratio today and the ability to scale out infrastructure on the same hardware in the future at a lower cost, thereby enhancing investment protection. In addition, the intuitive cloud experience enabled by AIOps enables storage provisioning and management without the need for specialized knowledge.
