Diverse and ever-changing data storage and compute requirements are a given in today’s data-driven world. The incoming challenges are constant, and dynamic IT demands can be difficult to meet with a single solution. Next thing you know sprawl, silos, and increased management complexity – to say nothing of reduced operational and business agility.

At HPE, we understand the resource challenges you’re facing. That’s why the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform offers a unified consumption solution from which you can deploy block (SAN) and file (NAS) storage services as needed. Both services are based on a disaggregated hardware architecture that is designed for up to 100% data availability. Both are integrated within the HPE GreenLake platform, for a seamless, centralized, and multi-protocol experience under a single cloud-based management plane.

What’s more, data services on the HPE GreenLake platform facilitate a unified, cloud operational experience for data managers, data scientists, and other innovators. Teams can access, protect, search, and mobilize data across edge-to-cloud data infrastructure from a single pane of glass.

Integrated, automated, and policy driven, HPE GreenLake data services streamline data orchestration throughout the lifecycle, including development and testing, production, protection, and analytics. This approach collapses data silos and slashes the complexity of traditional data management operations. So your organization can accelerate data-driven innovation and intelligently move data across clouds.

By the way, the HPE GreenLake platform makes providing robust protection for all your valuable data just as easy as deploying block or file services. Comprehensive backup, recovery, and DR are simple and accessible cloud-based services that are also managed within HPE GreenLake.
