HPE Alletra: Reshaping the data storage landscape for SMEs

In today’s digital era, businesses of every size, from small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to the largest corporations, are undergoing a rapid surge in the production and retention of data. These increasing volumes of data are highlighting the demand for swifter and more effective data storage solutions that are capable of handling these floods of information. 

Moreover, the value of data has increased, holding the potential to revolutionise businesses. This includes fueling innovation, enhancing customer experiences, and optimising operational efficiency. 

However, achieving data innovation means a monumental shift in the application landscape has to take place. It can also mean dealing with the complexity of managing and maintaining more infrastructure than ever before. 

The cloud provides agility, instant access, adaptable resources, and charges based on actual usage. It has become extremely popular among all organisations, who want to extend it to all their application data. Without the cloud, infrastructure may struggle to keep up with business dynamics. 

SMEs can find themselves entangled in maintaining, upgrading, and fine-tuning on-premises, edge, and cloud storage in disjointed, disparate systems.

Robust, expandable storage

Enter HPE Alletra Storage - a groundbreaking solution that is reshaping the landscape of data storage. It offers an adaptable, robust, and expandable data storage solution, delivering top-tier performance from start to finish, without breaking the bank, which is particularly important for SMEs who lack the budgets their corporate counterparts enjoy. 

With HPE Alletra, SMEs can streamline their on-premises storage, and prioritise app-centric operations, without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure. It can be deployed in a matter of minutes, seamlessly upgraded, and managed from anywhere. 

Unlike conventional storage management, HPE Alletra empowers a line of business and database administrators to effortlessly allocate storage and expedite application deployment, allowing IT teams to focus on strategic, high-value initiatives.

AI-powered automation

Furthermore, SMEs can harness the exceptional flash performance and economical architecture that HPE Alletra offers, as it was designed for rapid and consistent performance and leading data efficiency for workloads. These organisations can accelerate applications with sub-millisecond latency, slash storage costs and footprint with constant data reduction, providing a lot more space savings without compromising performance.

SMEs can also leave the stress of unexpected downtime behind them. With HPE Alletra, built on a proven AI-driven platform, they can ensure data availability for every array and customer. This ensures that no extra cost or effort is incurred, and when combined with HPE InfoSight's predictive capabilities, SMEs’ arrays continuously improve in reliability and performance.

This ensures that no extra cost or effort is incurred, and when combined with HPE InfoSight's predictive capabilities, SMEs’ arrays continuously improve in reliability and performance.

Data integrity ensured

Another major benefit is that SMEs no longer have to settle for a trade-off between data resilience and performance. HPE Alletra features Triple+ Parity RAID as a standard feature, with zero impact on performance. Triple+ Parity RAID can tolerate three simultaneous drive failures without data loss and offers added protection through intra-drive parity.

Furthermore, capacity and performance of operational systems can be expanded effortlessly, and without disruption, through the solution’s scale-to-fit capability. Companies can scale-out to up to four arrays with transparent volume mobility, achieving linear performance and capacity expansion.

Unleash the power of HCI

Another major benefit for SMEs is that they can reap the benefits of hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI), including critical speed and resilience, as well as the independent scaling of compute and storage.

In addition, they can transition from owning and managing data infrastructure to effortlessly accessing and utilising it. Worries about over- or under-provisioning, budget constraints, and complex procurement cycles have become a thing of the past, by adopting a flexible as-a-service consumption model through the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform. 

In addition, with HPE GreenLake, SMEs can accelerate their data-centric modernisation with unified experience, control, and visibility, bringing the advantages of the cloud to wherever their applications and data reside.
