With HPE GreenLake Flex Capacity and HPE Financial Services, you can combine the economic agility benefits of consumption-based IT with the performance and security of on-premise.

Have Cloud or IT-as-a-Service (ITaaS) environments forced you to settle for Tier-1 storage that compromises your data center? HPE 3PAR StoreServ 20000 Storage is an enterprise flash array with more than 3.8M IOPS, sub-millisecond latencies, a 16x density advantage over the competition¹, and scalability of over 20 PB of usable capacity for massive consolidation – for block and file workloads as well as object access – with Quality of Service (QoS). The flash-optimized architecture features the HPE 3PAR Gen5 ASIC for silicon-based hardware acceleration, including inline deduplication, compression, data packing, thin technologies and other compaction technologies that can reduce acquisition and operational costs without compromising performance. Configuration options are available for all-flash models and combined flash and HDD models. HPE 3PAR StoreServ 20000 also includes at no extra charge data protection with HPE Recovery Manager Central.

Is your storage slowing down your HPC compute cluster?

The Cray ClusterStor E1000 Storage System is purpose-engineered to meet the demanding input/output requirements of supercomputers and HPC clusters in a very efficient way. The E1000 parallel storage solution typically achieves the given HPC storage performance requirements, significantly reducing the number of storage drives. That means HPC users with a fixed budget for the HPC system can spend more of their budget on CPU/GPU compute nodes, accelerating time-to-insight. The E1000 Storage System embeds the open-source parallel file system Lustre to deliver this efficient performance. Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides enterprise-grade customer support in-house for Lustre that scales out (nearly) linearly, without software licensing for the file storage systems per terabyte capacity or per storage drive. This allows customers to reap the benefits of the open-source movement while getting enterprise-grade support.

Are your High Performance Compute (HPC) and AI environments struggling with file management?
HPE Data Management Framework 7 (DMF7) delivers centralized data management across HPC and AI storage systems and protects scalable, parallel file systems like Lustre and Spectrum Scale. Namespace reflection is used to create an independent snapshot of file system state, allowing you to recover file systems in a known good state. This system maintains file versions, allowing users to recover files from previous successful job runs.

HPE DMF7 automates data movement between tiers in a storage hierarchy, e.g. between flash and disk. Administrators and users can also use HPE DMF7 to move files between file systems, e.g. when files must be moved from storage that is being retired. HPE DMF7 improves utilization of expensive, high performance storage by automatically moving files to lower cost storage tiers, creating a virtual storage space that appears to scale beyond the physical capacity.
