New fast object storage offers exceptional performance and massive scalability
The new HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000 object storage is designed for exabyte scale and optimized to enable enterprises to store and retrieve object data faster. The X10000’s exceptional performance is ideal for high-speed data lakes and modern data protection. With this new offering, HPE further simplifies storage management through a single disaggregated architecture for block, file and object storage and the intuitive cloud management of HPE GreenLake cloud.
- Access object data faster at massive scale: All-flash fast object storage leverages HPE’s disaggregated, shared-everything MP storage architecture, which allows enterprises to scale capacity and performance independently. The X10000 incorporates HPE's new simplified branding alongside the HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000, formerly HPE GreenLake for Block Storage.
- Rapidly recover with modern data protection: The X10000 provides massive restore bandwidth, enabling faster data restore for rapid backup and recovery of mission-critical applications. The S3-compatible object-storage interface and deduplication supports up to 20x data reduction and streamlines integration with any backup solution. The X10000 is certified for backup by industry-leading vendors including Commvault and Veeam® and is being validated with other leading vendors.
HPE is collaborating with NVIDIA to enable a direct data path for direct memory access (DMA) transfers between GPU memory, system memory and the X10000, which is critical for AI applications. This direct path will further increase system bandwidth, decrease latency and improve GPU utilization.
Disconnected management delivers cloud experience for regulated environments
With the acceleration of AI innovation, data has become even more vital to national security and economic competitiveness.
