Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) announced the launch of its new block storage system, HPE GreenLake for Block Storage Release 3, today. This system is based on HPE Alletra Storage MP and is the first of its kind to allow businesses to scale their storage capacity and performance separately.
The system is designed to work without causing disruptions and can expand from 15.36 terabytes (TB) to 2.8 petabytes (PB).
The storage solution is intended for modern businesses that prioritize data management. It offers features such as AI-driven performance reporting and analytics for better troubleshooting and insights into data management.
The new release includes enhancements like multi-node switch models for improved performance and capacity, support for various connectivity options including NVMe over Fabrics using TCP, and advanced AI-based management through the HPE GreenLake cloud platform.
Additionally, a new warranty promises better data compression costs, and the product guarantees 100% data availability.
Unlike traditional storage systems that can create capacity wastage and management silos, Release 3 eliminates these issues by allowing flexible addition of controllers and drives.
This flexibility supports the scaling of performance and capacity independently according to the needs of the applications. The architecture is designed to ensure consistent performance and ultra-low latency by utilizing a multi-node, all-NVMe setup that processes I/O across all components.
Moreover, HPE introduces cloud-based AIOps management for this storage, aimed at reducing operational issues by predicting and preventing disruptions. The system’s analytics offer insights into usage trends, latency issues, and resource allocations, improving capacity planning and efficiency.
Release 3 also includes technologies for reducing and organizing data more effectively, enhancing storage economics without compromising on performance. The product comes with a promise of four times data compression, ensuring more cost-effective use of storage capacity.
HPE GreenLake for Block Storage was the first storage-as-a-service in the industry, and it offers self-service and a 100% availability guarantee. HPE GreenLake for Block Storage is designed for mission-critical workloads.
