Use Cases

Most enterprises store diverse data types across multiple platforms, such as on-premises data centers, multiple clouds, and at the edge. Each environment becomes an independent silo that restricts access to the data and the insights they contain. This means slower time to modernize analytics and gain the insights that you need to innovate and drive your business.

The HPE GreenLake platform offers a fully managed, on-premises service containing an analytics-ready data fabric for hybrid environments. From a single management view, it allows you to set up, administer, and manage globally distributed data sets across edge-to-cloud deployments. It lowers risk by providing infrastructure in a pay-per-use model, while HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric modernizes analytics and data management, unifying different data types across on-premises, multi-cloud, and edge, and delivering seamless access to a trusted source of data.

New workplace realities are challenging legacy assumptions about where, when, and how work gets done. Location and access-device flexibility are more important than ever, while the ability to deliver productivity and security are no less essential. The public cloud is one option but not when data sovereignty, privacy, performance, or security considerations require apps and data to remain on premises

When conducting business away from the office, workers may be using any type of tablet, smartphone, or PC trusted or not—as is typical in today’s bring-your-own-device, work-from-home environment. With virtual desktop infrastructure,you have no need to store confidential company data on a personal device that could easily be lost, stolen, or tampered with. HPE GreenLake for virtual desktop infrastructure offers inherently secure on-premises VDI, tailored to users’ needs that let you avoid high up-front costs, speed time to value, and scale seamlessly to align resources with demand

Do you need an operating system specifically designed to run demanding HPC applications?
HPE Cray Operating System is a suite of high-performance software designed to run large, complex applications at scale.
Based on standard SUSE Enterprise Linux, the software provides many features designed to improve application efficiency, reliability, management, and extend data access.

Does your data storage capacity outstrip your backup, disaster recovery, and archive capability?

The Spectra TFinity ExaScale Tape Library delivers up to 2.53 exabytes (EB) of proven storage density packaged in a small footprint and offers scalability and speed to meet the requirements of the most demanding environments. Additional flexibility is provided through support of mixed media, both Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Technology and TS11xx technology, in the same library. Customers can also access and migrate data from legacy Oracle® T10000 media to both technologies. Using LTO technology, it can expand from 50 to 56,400 slots for 2.5 EB of compressed data. Using TS1170 technology, the library can expand from 45 to 42,930 slots for 6.45 EB of compressed data. The tape library can support up to 144 drives with transfer rates of 207.4 TB/hr (466.6 TB/hr compressed) using LTO-9 or support up to 144 drives with transfer rates of 207.4 TB/hr (466.6 TB/hr compressed) using TS1170 technology.

Do you require 100% uptime on your data center storage infrastructure without compromising performance, scale, or flexibility?

The HPE XP8 Storage array (Gen2) is the newest addition to the HPE XP storage family that has achieved 10-years of 100% data availability¹ across the entire installed base. There is no room to improve on 100%, but HPE XP8 is raising the bar by delivering industry leading 8-nines⁵ of availability, nearly assuring continued 100% availability well into the future.

Without compromise means HPE XP8 Gen2 provides unrivaled performance, scale and flexibility. In terms of performance,  HPE XP8 delivers over 33 million IOPs², well beyond competitors. HPE XP8 enables scalability up to 69 PB of internal capacity, and up to 255 PB of external virtual capacity. Flexibility to configure Hybrid or Flash, SAS or NVMe, HDD, SSD, FMD, or SCM. Newly added HW Compression Accelerator and Front-End FC NVMe adds even more performance, scale, and flexibility.
