Powered by the HPE Alletra Storage MP 10000 hardware platform, B10000 is the industry's first disaggregated, scale-out block storage with 100% availability guaranteed. Get an intuitive, AI-driven cloud experience on-prem that simplifies management and shifts operations from infrastructure-centric to app-centric. Empower line of business with intelligent, self-service provisioning while managing and protecting workloads across your hybrid cloud from a single cloud console. Scale performance and capacity independently - and without disruption - with disaggregated storage. Meet every SLA with mission-critical storage that delivers an unrivalled 100% data availability guarantee. Accelerate your most demanding apps with consistently fast performance and ultra-low latency - even at scale.

What is new

  • HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 has been rebranded - previously HPE GreenLake for Block Storage built on HPE Alletra Storage MP.
  • Easily and cost-effectively scale to meet evolving workload demands with disaggregated storage: New, multi-node switched models enable you to scale capacity and performance independently for greater efficiency and lower cost.
  • Accelerate mission-critical apps with up to 2X performance boost1. New 2, 3, and 4 controller node switched models (with a choice of 16-core or 32-core configurations) - adding to the existing option of 2 core controller node switchless models - enables a leap in performance of up to 2X.
  • Scale without limitation with 2X more capacity2. Support for up to 16 JBOF expansion shelves enables you to start small and scale big- from 15.36TB to around 5.8 PB3 - without disruption.

Maximize efficiency and cost savings with granular capacity upgrades: Support for 8 to 24 SSDs per enclosure - with the ability to upgrade drives in 2-drive increments and JBOFs in increments of 1 - gives you the flexibility to fine-tune, adapt, and elastically scale storage environments in line with specific workload capacity requirements and evolving business needs.

  • Unlock the full power of NVMe for Ethernet networks with NVMe/TCP: With new NVMe over TCP host protocol support, you get all the benefits of a low latency, high performance NVMe fabric without committing to a dedicated storage network like Fibre Channel. You now have the flexibility to choose the front-end storage protocol that best fits your workloads and existing network infrastructure thanks to support for Fibre Channel, NVMe-oF/FC, NVMe-oF/TCP and iSCSi.
  • Simplify management with enhanced and extended AI-driven performance reporting: HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is powered by industry leading AIOps for infrastructure, delivered via the Data Services Cloud Console (DSCC) on the HPE GreenLake cloud platform. The latest release of the Data Ops Manager app on DSCC continues to eliminate the guesswork for customers when it comes to storage optimization through enhanced and extended AI-based performance reporting and analytics for improved troubleshooting and insights. Key reporting enhancements include headroom utilization trend analysis by volume set, top volume set hotspots by latency, improved workload drift detection, and resource contention detection. With the latest release of the Data Ops Manager, customers also get improved capacity reporting, capacity savings and efficiency metrics, and new sustainability metrics (including carbon utilization emissions and energy consumption).
  • Take the risk and complexity out of data migration: Remove the risk and complexity of switching to a new storage platform with multiple options for quick, non-disruptive data migration.

- With HPE Peer Motion, you can move data from HPE 3PAR, HPE Primera, and HPE Alletra 9000 storage arrays to HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 - online, non-disruptively, and without complex planning or dependency on extra tools.

- With HPE Zerto, you get a simple (4-click), scalable, and risk-free migration experience for large, complex virtualized environments - regardless of hardware or storage platform.

- If you don't have the required in-house IT staff availability, expertise, and tools to ensure a successful migration, HPE Data Migration Services will get you up and running fast. This simplifies the data migration process and provides a flexible way to migrate an organization's critical data safely with minimal impact to operations. You have a choice of several online and offline options for migrating their data to align with their organization's requirements, budgets, and timelines.

  • Support for QLC SSDs: Provides lower cost per TB and greater storage density; ideal for heavy read workloads
  • Support for 10GBase-T: Enables additional host connectivity for legacy infrastructure
  • Numerous software feature improvements: Including greater system performance, security enhancements, and expanded peer motion support

Standard Features

Hardware

  • HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is powered by 2-Node and 4-Node storage controllers and up to 5.8 PB of all NVMe capacity in a single system.

Simplify management with an intuitive cloud experience on prem

  • Simplify operations and move faster with a cloud operational experience: Reduce on-premises storage complexity across the lifecycle- from install to upgrade - with an AI-driven cloud operational experience powered by the HPE GreenLake Edge to Cloud Platform.
  • Simplified deployment: Get started in minutes with streamlined device deployment. Simply rack the infrastructure, plug in the power cords, and connect the network cables. With a few clicks, the new system is configured and available in your fleet, ready to serve data for application workloads.
  • Deploy apps faster: Automate app deployment with intent-based provisioning. Select the storage tier, workload type, capacity, and protection policy, and let AI-driven intelligence automatically optimize your SLAs by recommending the best-suited system across your fleet for your new workload.
  • Unified storage management: 100% cloud-managed infrastructure means you can manage, monitor, and protect your global storage environment from a single cloud console that's accessible from any location, on any device - so managing hundreds of systems across geographies is as simple as managing one.
  • Invisible upgrades: Thanks to SaaS-based delivery, new data services instantly become available to you. Data plane software upgrades are non-disruptive and intelligently matched to a given system.

Run any app - without compromise with a 100% data availability guarantee

  • Get peace of mind with 100% data availability guaranteed: Built on an AI-driven, disaggregated, no single point of failure platform to guarantee resilient 100% data availability for your mission-critical apps.
  • Advanced DR and HA: Meet any recovery-point objective (RPO) and recovery-time objective (RTO) strategy with transparent business continuity and automatic fail-over across multiple sites, as well as getting simple and efficient hybrid cloud data protection for on-prem and cloud native workloads.
  • Accelerate your most demanding applications: Built on a unique, massively parallel, multi-node, and all-active platform, HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 consolidates traditional and next-generation mission-critical applications at scale with predictable performance and ultra-low latency.
  • Industry's most advanced AI-Ops: Predict and prevent disruptions before they occur across the stack and pinpoint issues between storage and VMs and under-utilized resources. Take the guesswork out of managing data infrastructure with AI-driven recommendations that improves performance, drives higher availability, and optimizes resource utilization and planning.
  • Transformed support experience: Eliminate time-consuming, frustrating escalations via predictive support automation and direct access to the experts and resources you need.

Notes:

- 1Slot 3 and Slot 4 can be used for host connectivity (at least one is required), and RCIP is optional; Slot 1 and Slot 2 are used for expansion

- 2Effective capacity assumes 4:1 data compaction ratio (thin provisioning, deduplication, compression, and copy technologies) in a RAID 6 (10+2) configuration. Note TB vs TiB. Actual ratios will vary based on workload. It also factors in 9% free space headroom to ensure optimal array operation. See HPE Store More Guarantee for more information.
