General purpose storage configurations

For workloads that do not require an all-flash solution, these HPE GreenLake platform configurations—based on HPE Nimble Storage Adaptive Flash Arrays—offer reliable, cost-effective storage. These arrays are truly adaptive—designed for both primary and secondary flash workloads. The flash-enhanced architecture is combined with HPE InfoSight predictive analytics for fast, reliable access to data and 99.9999% measured availability. HPE InfoSight:

  • Predicts and prevents issues across the entire stack
  • Defends against storage and site failures for business continuity
  • Extends app-aware data production to the cloud
  • Protects SLAs with quality of service (QoS)
