HPE Alletra Storage MP – Product Review

Alletra Storage MP is a data storage platform from HPE that utilizes software defined storage to provide either block, object, or file storage. The block storage persona is developed by HPE and is an evolution of Primera/3PAR and Nimble storage software. The object storage persona was developed in-house by HPE and is available exclusively on the Alletra MP 10000. The file storage persona is a version of VAST Data’s Universal Storage, supporting only file access.

HPE offers block, object, and file solutions as HPE GreenLake services designated as GreenLake for Block Storage, GreenLake for Object Storage, and GreenLake for File Storage.

The Alletra Storage MP platform utilizes the same hardware for block, object, and file solutions, with the core difference being the storage software installed. The hardware consists of 2U building blocks with AMD processors and NVMe SSDs – with variations in configurations and scalability between the file and block offerings. Block, object and file storage are managed through the same SaaS control plane called Data Services Cloud Console. However, this is not a unified storage system because block, object and file cannot run together on the same hardware.

The Alletra naming scheme has represented HPE’s unification of multiple solutions within a single brand with common management and availability via HPE GreenLake. Previous iterations of HPE Alletra storage systems – Alletra 9000, 6000, and 5000 – were actually separate hardware platforms, evolutions of either 3PAR/Primera or Nimble storage. The Alletra Storage MP takes the concept a step further by providing a single hardware platform capable of offering two different software solutions. The MP stands for multi-protocol. Alletra MP models 6000, 9000, and 10000 use identical hardware architecture and vary in the number of network ports and drive slots each one provides.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
