Hewlett Packard Enterprise Introduces Storage Intelligence to Portfolio

Advancements in AI, cloud data mobility, and storage platform performance enable deeper and 2X faster data insights.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP announced innovations across its intelligent storage solutions to help customers unlock their data’s potential, drive actionable insights into new revenue streams, and deliver impact to their businesses.

HPE introduced:

  • Advancements in its AI for Operations (AIO/s) platform, InfoSight;

  • Expansion of HPE Cloud Volumes, a multicloud storage service, to the UK and Ireland;

  • Memory-Driven Flash, a class of enterprise storage built with storage class memory (SCM) and non-volatile memory express (NVMe); and

  • An enhanced partnership for secondary workloads with Cohesity, Inc. to help customers accelerate their journey to hybrid cloud.

HPE CLOUD VOLUMES

To improve business impact, enterprises need infrastructure that is effortless to manage so they can focus on getting the most out of their data. Customers require data mobility between on-premises and cloud to speed development cycles and protect their data. And they need a storage experience that aligns to their economic needs, with consumption-based models and financial flexibility. The company enables customers to harness their data and transform their businesses with intelligent storage solutions that adapt and self-adjust in real time, move data where it needs to be, and optimizes data to the right economic model.

Intelligence changes everything,” said Milan Shetti, GM, storage, HPE. “Customers using intelligent storage can reap the benefits of AI and stop worrying about their infrastructure. Instead, they can focus on getting more out of their data, whether it be uncovering new revenue opportunities by moving and monetizing data in the cloud and edge, or by extracting the right data insights to improve their products and business models.

AI-driven storage enables self-optimizing IT and unlocks data
InfoSight uses AI to remove the burden of managing infrastructure by predicting and preventing problems, as well as provide a foundation for context-aware data management. InfoSight can reduce operating costs by up to 79% by enabling self-managing infrastructure and self-optimizing IT.

InfoSight is expanding into workload management by adding the following machine-learning intelligence capabilities that reduce risk and manual work when planning for workloads:

  • Cross-stack recommendations for Nimble Storage extend the InfoSight recommendation engine to the virtualization layer. InfoSight moves beyond the basic predictive analytics tools other vendors offer to provide AI-driven guidance across the infrastructure stack regarding how best to optimize customers’ environments and where to place their data.

  • An AI-driven resource planner helps optimize workload placement based on available resources – and eliminates guesswork and the risk of disruption when deploying new workloads.

  • Performance insights for 3PAR reduces time spent troubleshooting by using machine-learning to self-diagnose performance bottlenecks. Uniquely delivered on-premises, this capability extends InfoSight to sites that have restricted access to the cloud.

The experience we’ve had with HPE InfoSight has greatly simplified our operations and has relieved our staff from constantly dealing with infrastructure issues,” said Stefan Floyhar, senior IT director, Ferrara Candy Company. “We have been thrilled with the proactive support we’ve received, and HPE InfoSight has been directly responsible for preventing critical outages that we never would have found on our own. The addition of cross-stack recommendations enhances InfoSight’s ability to watch over our virtualized environments so we don’t have to.

Storage built for cloud delivers data mobility for any workload to run anywhere
With more applications being developed for the cloud, enterprises need to optimally move data across their hybrid cloud environments. Cloud Volumes, currently available for Nimble Storage, delivers an enterprise-grade storage service with hybrid and multi-cloud mobility.

Cloud Volumes is expanding service capabilities and global reach with:

  • Expansion into UK and Ireland in 2019 to service UK and European customers requiring local cloud data access.

  • Support for leading container platforms including Docker and Kubernetes to speed DevOps as well as testing and development of cloud-native apps and hybrid cloud workloads. Customers can register for a technical preview.

  • Completed SoC 2 Type 1 certification for customers with stringent compliance controls and HIPAA compliance for healthcare customers.

HPE MEMORY-DRIVEN Flash

Advancing beyond all-flash by delivering data at the speed of memory
Memory-Driven Flash is a class of storage built with SCM and NVMe that accelerates application performance for 3PAR and Nimble Storage. It lowers latency up to 2X and is up to 50% faster than all-flash arrays with NVMe SSDs. Intelligence built into 3PAR and Nimble Storage optimizes SCM to enable real-time processing for latency-sensitive applications and mixed workloads – like AI and machine learning or high-speed transactions – at scale. 3PAR is an enterprise storage platform available with SCM and NVMe. Memory-Driven Flash marks an architectural shift to memory-driven architectures that will drive the next generation of innovation.

Memory-Driven Flash will be available December 2018 for HPE 3PAR as a non-disruptive upgrade, and is expected in 2019 for Nimble Storage.

Enhancements to HPE storage portfolio offer the right destination for data
The intelligent storage is built from a portfolio of workload-optimized storage products that serve as the ultimate destination for all types of data.

Products and features include:

  • Peer Persistence for Nimble Storage, which provides simple, always-on availability for enterprises through multi-site synchronous replication with automatic failover. It is available at no cost on Nimble Storage.

  • Enhanced partnership with Cohesity combines the web-scale simplicity and efficiency of Cohesity software with the firm’s big data and storage infrastructure and services. The expanded resell agreement, which has now qualified Apollo and DL 380 servers, enables customers to consolidate backup and secondary data over hybrid cloud.

  • Availability of the Apollo 4200 Gen10 platform, suited for big data analytics, scale-out software-defined storage, and other storage centric workloads.

  • Intelligent storage delivered as a service aligns to consumption and investment needs

The company manages 500PB of customer data delivered as a service with GreenLake Flex Capacity, providing customers scalability and simplified IT operations, all in a pay-per-use model on premises. The company is expanding GreenLake for backup to include Veeam Software AG as part of the consumption-based model, further simplifying the economics of data protection.
