Apps Data Innovation Accelerate Every business is looking to accelerate everything  - apps, agility, and innovation. They want to be digital enterprises, bringing new data-driven apps to market They’re increasingly becoming more digital and bringing new data-driven apps to market 

What if you could have both agility and resiliency for your mission-critical apps? HPE Nimble storage Manage Itself HPE Infosight But what if you had a platform that could deliver both agility and resiliency for your mission critical apps? A platform that manages itself, predicts and prevents problems, and consolidates safely for every mission critical app of today and tomorrow. If you look at our portfolio, we have assembled incredibly strong IP – with Nimble Storage - arguably the simplest enterprise storage platform in the industry, InfoSight - the most advanced AI for infrastructure, and 3PAR - proven resiliency and performance at scale, we realized we have an opportunity to bring these core assets together, to build upon what we have to redefine mission critical storage. Predict & prevent App Disruptions HPE 3PAR Consolidate Without Risk

World’s MOST intelligent storage for mission-critical apps HPE Primera Excited to announce…the worlds most intelligent storage for mission critical apps – HPE Primera. It delivers an: On-demand experience for instant access to data and delivered as a service App-aware resiliency built from a resilient design center with global intelligence to predict/prevent disruptions Predictive acceleration to safely consolidate every mission critical app on the same platform with extreme low-latency performance Predictive Acceleration App-Aware Resiliency On-Demand Experience

HPE Storage On-Demand Experience Enterprise storage ownership transformed All inclusive licensing No Forklift Upgrades StoreMore Guarantee Free controller upgrade options No enterprise likes dealing with forklift upgrades or being nickle-and-dimed for new features. They want a platform that delivers timeless value and investment protection. So are excited to bring a unique ownership experience for customers with HPE Primera. We have extended Nimble’s Timeless Storage over to Primera which brings with it all-inclusive software licensing, an architecture with investment protection and no forklift upgrades, data reduction guarantees through the Store More guarantee, free controller upgrade options, and a 100% availability guarantee. 100% Availability Guarantee Investments are timeless

HPE Storage App-Aware Resiliency See once, prevent for all Host, VM, network Installed-Base Prevention Problem Resolution 5 4 Interop Global correlation Deep sensors We have this saying - see once and prevent for all, which means if we see a problem in any customer environment, we make sure no other customer will see the same problem. If InfoSight detects a problem, it is able to generate a fingerprint and scan its install base using pattern recognition and predict if any other system will be susceptible. This can remediate future problems and eliminate any performance, availability or security problems before they occur.

HPE Storage App-Aware Resiliency See issues beyond storage Noisy neighbor Host & Memory Analytics Latency Attribution Inactive VMs Top Performing VMs Storage Related Compute Network Vm/container/db The cross-stack analytics feature saves users tremendous time and frustration. We are able to quickly diagnose the root cause of the performance problem and identify if it is coming from the host, VM, network or array. We are giving visibility and insight into more than just your storage infrastructure. Look beyond your storage infrastructure to gain the deepest insights

HPE Storage App-Aware Resiliency App-aware data protection extended to the cloud Start with platforms that are efficient, always-on – and secure HPE solutions do just that: Predictive analytics for continuous digital operations (Predictive Analytics to anticipate and prevent issues across the infrastructure stack) with HPE InfoSight and HPE All-Flash Storage. HPE all-flash storage is the only storage smart enough to predict and prevent issues1 and close the app-data gap. Fast and reliable access to data with HPE All-Flash Storage Predictive analytics, coupled with cloud ready flash storage, deliver fast and reliable access to data both on-premises and off. TRANSITION: Enterprises are seeing the value of creating modern IT foundations. 23x Faster backup 15x Faster restore access for your applications Self-Service. Zero RPO/RTO. No Appliances. Assured app Quality of Service.
