Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has announced new file, block, disaster and backup recovery data services designed to help customers eliminate data silos, reduce cost and complexity, and improve performance
The new data services are built on HPE Alletra Storage platform, which the company introduced two years ago to deliver on-premises storage with cloud-like management. HP is calling the new HPE GreenLake Alletra Storage MP offering "the future of storage". It is a modular storage offering that supports both block and file stores on the same hardware. Customers can store, manage, and protect all data types from one unified platform, across the hybrid cloud.
HPE says businesses want to leverage data to achieve better outcomes, while controlling data management costs and complexity. At the same time, the global volume of data generated is expected to double by 2026 according to the Worldwide IDC Global DataSphere Forecast.
Tom Black, executive VP and GM, HPE Storage, says, “Customers today face unprecedented challenges in managing their data. The rapid increase in the volume and complexity of data has forced organisations to manage it all with a costly combination of siloed storage solutions.
"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.”
The HPE Alletra Storage MP supports a disaggregated infrastructure with multiple storage protocols on the same hardware that can scale independently for performance and capacity.
HPE GreenLake enters file storage market
The new HPE file and block storage offerings are available through HPE GreenLake.
HPE GreenLake for File Storage provides a scale-out service to accelerate processing of data-intensive workloads through enterprise performance at scale, with throughput of hundreds of gigabytes per second .
The new file storage service brings together the HPE GreenLake cloud experience and VAST Data software to establish a highly resilient file service designed for exabyte scale.
