At HPE, weโre focused not just on enabling enterprises to make crucial optimizations through lower carbon footprints and smarter economics. We see sustainable IT as a game-changing catalyst for business transformation.
Thatโs why HPE Storage solutions incorporate modern design elements that save on space requirements and energy consumption, optimize operational efficiency and visibility, and deliver future-proof infrastructure to help you meet your sustainability goals โ and evolving regulatory standards โ now and in the years ahead.
Letโs dig into specifics. Here are a dozen reasons to consider HPE storage to meet your sustainable IT energy, resource efficiency, and carbon emissions reduction goals:
1. Weโre a recognized leader in sustainable IT
When you partner with HPE, youโre working with a leader in corporate sustainable IT, as ranked by industry analysts. HPE boasts 30 years of proven leadership and numerous firsts, including an industry-leading supply chain assurance program. Our Design for Environment program sets science-based emissions targets across our entire value chain.
2. Easily track your consumption and emissions
Leverage complete reporting on your global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and costs associated with your energy consumption, from the HPE Sustainability Insight Center. You can now efficiently plan cost reductions and map sustainable IT goals by calculating carbon emissions and energy expenses.
3. Slash your e-waste with disaggregated scale-out storage
Forklift server and storage upgrades create tons of new e-waste. But with the modern, disaggregated scale-out architecture of HPE GreenLake for Block Storage built on HPE Alletra Storage MP, you can add, upgrade, or replace specific resources without having to scrap entire systems. By sharing storage resources across multiple servers, disaggregated storage also reduces data silos for improved energy efficiency.
4. Save as much as 4x on space with always-on data reduction
Sustainable IT means avoiding unnecessary scale and wasted energy consumption. To achieve that, take advantage of HPEโs always-on, inline data reduction for peak efficiency without performance penalties. Multiple data reduction technologies reduce storage capacity utilization and improve flash media endurance, including advanced dedupe with express indexing, efficient compression, data packing, thin provisioning, adaptive sparing, and virtual copy โ all of which we back up with a 4:1 data compaction ratio guarantee.
5. Embrace sustainable asset management
Digital transformation means building sustainability in. Propel your business forward with new innovations, more efficient infrastructure, and cost controls by prioritizing reuse over recycling. Building on two decades of IT asset management expertise and financial know-how, HPE has infused $1.1B back into customer budgets from upcycling and accelerated migration programs over the last three years. Take advantage of our innovative, sustainable strategies that create additional investment capacity by focusing on your entire tech estate.
6. Accelerate procurement with ENERGY STARยฎ certified solutions
Todayโs massive data growth and rapid storage expansion challenge enterprises to quickly find the right sustainable storage solutions to meet their operational and efficiency needs. That includes requirements for power and cooling, component-level energy and space efficiency, density, upcycling, and e-waste reduction, and more. With ENERGY STAR-certified HPE Alletra Storage, including HPE Alletra 4000 and HPE Alletra 9000, you can confidently achieve your sustainability objectives.
7. Increase performance and lower energy consumption with flash storage
Flash storage enables much more than just radically faster data processing operations. Flash far surpasses traditional spinning disk media for energy savings, carbon emissions, data per watt of power, heat generation and related cooling, and cost of ownership over time. And flash manufacturing and materials sourcing are also cleaner. With HPE Alletra Storage, HPE leads the industry in storage solutions powered by flash.
8. Escape overprovisioning expense
Conventional storage involves significant waste, with about one-third of both public cloud and on-premises capacity going unused. As-a-service solutions like HPE GreenLake for Block Storage enable organizations to consume capacity as needed and avoid the cost of overprovisioning. The entire experience is simple and flexible: you can access additional capacity in minutes as opposed to months, exceed your minimum monthly commitment to meet surges in demand, and expand your core capacity when it makes sense.
9. Gain complete visibility
To streamline your IT for sustainability, you need to optimize your visibility. HPE Data Ops Manager on the HPE GreenLake Platform does just that, delivering global, unified management of data infrastructure across edge to cloud from a single web interface. Gain complete visibility into infrastructure utilization that helps you maintain sustainable IT goals with efficient provisioning. Deploy and manage as-a-service infrastructure on demand with simple discovery, activation, and configurations, and orchestrate workflows at scale, which makes managing hundreds of systems as simple as managing one.
10. Harness AI-powered tools
Youโre absolutely going to need the power of AIOps to meet your sustainability goals, and HPE provides the industryโs most advanced AI for infrastructure. Rely on AIOps to boost efficiency and improve sustainability by streamlining manual processes, and increase operational ROI, which enables additional sustainability investments. HPE AIOps for infrastructure predicts and prevents disruptions before they occur across the stack and provides recommendations to take the guesswork out of managing data infrastructure. Predictive support automation and direct access to experts eliminate time-consuming escalations. Meanwhile, HPE CloudPhysics delivers data-driven insights for smarter IT decisions across edge-to-cloud, enabling your IT team to optimize application workload placement, procure right-sized infrastructure services, and lower costs.
11. Get an intuitive cloud experience on-premises
Enterprises can significantly advance their sustainable IT efforts by simplifying on-premises storage with the speed and agility of a cloud operational experience, which is what HPE GreenLake delivers. Cloud operations reduces the physical movement of people, saving you as much as 650g of CO2 per kilometer. Cloud operations can also relieve bandwidth requirements for IT teams and help you optimize cloud storage infrastructure. Transform your LUN-centric, time-intensive storage provisioning into an AI-driven, self-service approach that saves time, makes better use of your infrastructure, and doesnโt require additional storage expertise.
