More and more CIOs and CDOs are clear that the cloud orientation of their organization necessarily involves the hybrid cloud. Workloads that have to run at the edge, workloads that require very low latency or 100% availability, having total control over data sovereignty or simply the cost, are just some of the reasons that lead these professionals to consider that the public cloud does not respond to all their needs. needs, while betting only on environments on-premises is not sufficient.
In this sense, most technology professionals have transitioned in recent years from a firm commitment to the public cloud, to new IT needs that require environments that are not only hybrid, but also multicloud. It is to respond to the new needs that are precisely derived from an increasingly complex ecosystem, where HPE develops its GreenLake platform.
A platform that, as its managers explain, offers the best of both worlds and is committed to offering on-premises services with cloud management, which can be automatically deployed anywhere (far edge, edge, data center or public cloud), counting with open-source architectures to avoid the dreaded vendor lock-in.
A data-first strategy
On the other hand, these same technology managers point out that few challenges are as complex to overcome as establishing proper data governance in these hybrid environments. In this sense, they face problems such as the dispersion of data between the edge, data centers and cloud. But also different technologies that appear in the data life cycle (intake, transformation, training, backup, disaster recovery…), heterogeneous control panels, lack of automation, shortage of human and technical resources, or worse, failures. that can cause serious business disruption.
In this field, HPE proposes a data-focused strategy that materializes in HPE GreenLake For Block Storage. What the multinational offers, in this case, is a self-service storage modality, with a control panel in the cloud and cloud modules located in the user’s facilities (own centers, leased, etc.), with a simple choice based on SLAs of performance, availability (even reaching 100%) and capacity. Supported by Artificial Intelligence to automate critical decisions in the operation, detection of suspicious behavior and that is subscribed, or consumed, on a pay-per-use basis.
HPE GreenLake For Block Storage offers in this sense a cloud experience both for day-to-day operations and for storage lifecycle management. In addition, and thanks to the data provided by the Infosight AI system, it will offer us the best recommendations for the deployment of workloads and, in a predictive manner, the necessary recommendations so that the service always has a 100% availability guarantee, improve efficiency and data immutability as protection against ransomware.
Why choose a storage-as-a-service solution
And why choose a pay-as-you-go, storage-as-a-service solution like the one HPE proposes? As the multinational explains in the infographic that we propose for no less than ten great reasons that you can take into account such as:
- You can eliminate the infrastructure and its maintenance costs.
- You have greater capacity for self-service.
- You meet any SLA and the highest levels of availability and performance.
- You can simplify and speed up provisioning.
- You have a guarantee for mission-critical applications.
- AI ensures that apps are always on.
- You get started quickly, you can manage your infrastructure from anywhere, and you accelerate your business results.
In short, a storage-as-a-service solution modernizes data management by offering you a unified operating experience in this case, the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform. You want to know more?
