Right now, organisations are dealing with a deluge of data that needs to be available across hybrid cloud environments and reliably backed up. Data storage has to be up to the task. With HPE Alletra, organisations get a transformational cloud operating and consumption experience wherever data lives – the same simplicity and the same cloud consumption for every single app, and across each app’s lifecycle. In terms of storage platforms, it’s a paradigm shift. If you have customers who are looking to upgrade from HPE Nimble, they will want to hear how much further HPE Alletra can take them.
Here are five reasons why HPE Alletra stands out.
1 – The AI advantage
AI-driven, predictive analytics are at the heart of HPE Alletra, ensuring that apps are always-on and always fast.

HPE InfoSight also provides visibility across storage, virtual machines and applications, providing actionable insights to boost optimisation. Less time on troubleshooting and management means more time on strategic projects.
2 – Absolute resiliency
Because HPE Alletra is driven by HPE InfoSight, you can expect minimised service disruptions across storage, virtual machine and servers - all down to smart AI and ML written into HPE InfoSight. During the past ten years or so, it’s analysed application routines and patterns over as many as 1,250 trillion data points. This has transformed how storage is managed and supported, saving users upwards of 1.5 million working hours and preventing 1000s of service disruptions.
3 – Enable true hybrid cloud
HPE Alletra is closely linked to the HPE GreenLake, enabling shared, cloud ops capabilities with optimised systems both in the cloud and on-premises. This provides predictable agility and ease across each application, throughout its lifecycle. Effectively, it enables you to overcome the complexities of data mobility and set data free, no matter where users are. This opens up a variety of hybrid and multicloud use cases, including bi-directional data and workload migration, cost-effective DR or backup in the cloud, hybrid test/dev and analytics, and rapid multicloud DevOps CI/CD pipelines for containerized workloads.
