Enterprises have the option to buy on-premises storage as a service through HPE GreenLake, paying only for what they use, similar to the way they do in the public cloud. The simplification theme extends to procurement. Hewlett Packard Enterprise's new Alletra 9000 is based on the Primera storage array that it launched two years ago. HPE also makes available a unified API to facilitate access to infrastructure and data and let partners and customers build their own services or automation. The new cloud console can ease system upgrades and provide instant access to new SaaS-based data services - such as a Data Ops Manager and intent-based provisioning - that are available through a subscription model.

He noted that customers won't need to know the details of the differing HPE storage systems, and they can replicate data between the Alletra 9000 and Primera and between the Alletra 6000 and Nimble. Instead of time-consuming LUN provisioning, customers pick the type of application workload, service level and capacity they need, and HPE's AI-driven InfoSight recommends the best way to optimize the system, said Sandeep Singh, vice president of HPE storage marketing. Once users rack the hardware, they can connect and authenticate to the cloud console to configure the system. HPE designed the Data Services Cloud Console to offer the public cloud-like operational model that it claims increasing numbers of customers want for their on-premises storage infrastructure. The most significant change for HPE storage customers may be the new Data Services Cloud Console that is optimized to work with Alletra and due to become available by year's end for use with Nimble and Primera to provide a common SaaS-based control plane. But enterprises that use HPE's Nimble Storage and Primera arrays will find key similarities in the new Alletra 'workload-optimized systems.' The NVMe-only Alletra 60 may deliver higher performance and lower latency, but under the covers, they use the same operating systems as Nimble and Primera, respectively.
