A new high-end intelligent storage experience: Timeless Storage for HPE Primera

[StorageExperts]

Learn how Timeless Storage for HPE Primera transforms the ownership experience by delivering storage you can depend on today, tomorrow, and well into the future.

It seems that every month or so, I will see an advertisement for a new smartphone with “must-have” technology. I’ll look down at my phone and see that it is functioning perfectly fine—but I still want the latest and greatest that’s currently being advertised. I’ll go to the store and replace my existing smartphone with a newer version.

But what if I could get the latest and greatest whenever I want—and whenever I need it?  Whenever I buy a new smartphone, I need to know that my current version is going to give me the investment protection that I need, as well as the ability to upgrade my features without switching out physical phone. This mentality isn’t limited to just the smartphone industry, but high-end storage as well.

Traditional high-end storage forces customers in to these same tradeoffs. It requires forklift upgrades, additional costs for software features, and the monolithic operating systems inhibit access to new innovation. And most importantly, it offers zero investment protection.  A customer of traditional high-end storage needs to replace the entire system (which is extremely costly) to get the features they need to keep up. 

What if I told you we’ve created a unique storage experience for high-end storage that provides investment protection from disruptive forklift upgrades down the road?  Introducing Timeless Storage for HPE Primera.
