HPE Storage is all about simplicity. In that vein, I’m writing this very simple (short and sweet!) blog on the seven reasons to deploy your Oracle environment on HPE Storage. We have so many items that make Oracle deployments easier and more efficient, I could make the list go up to 100 reasons. But I think seven is a lucky number!  So let’s take a quick look at my top seven reasons HPE Storage is the place for your Oracle data to live.

1. No more complexity – Oracle environments are tough to manage. You’re always trying to tune them, get better business insights, make sure your data is online, and this list goes on and on. With HPE Storage, we make things simple. Our cloud operational model saves up to 98% of operational time with intent-based provisioning, which requires less storage expertise to manage your Oracle environment. Simplify your Oracle DBAs life – and stop worrying about managing storage. Just focus on the database instead.
2. 100% guaranteed uptime – HPE Storage guarantees uptime, either 100% or 6’9s. Yes I said guaranteed.  We are the only ones in the industry with a 100% availability guarantee. Why is this important? As you clearly know, downtime means loss of revenue, negative impact to your company reputation, sometimes with you ending up having to report the issue to Wall Street. Having access to your data at all times helps you avoid these difficult situations and drives good business outcomes.
3. High performance – Oracle environments are very demanding, right? With the need for high IOPs and throughput, it’s hard to find a storage solution that can meet the demands. With HPE Storage, you can be sure your Oracle workload will be run on prem at blazing fast speeds – without your storage breaking a sweat.
4. Built-in AI – We have built in AI in all HPE Alletra and HPE GreenLake for Block Storage as-a-service options. As a matter of fact, 86% of issues are predicted and resolved automatically to keep your Oracle environments running smooth without disruptions.
5. Hybrid-cloud ready – With HPE Storage, you can easily deploy your Oracle workload on prem, creating a dev/test environment with back up to the cloud for the ultimate flexibility in how to deploy your Oracle workload.
6. Full-stack availability – You can tackle one of the world’s most demanding workloads with HPE Superdome Flex and HPE Storage to ensure scale, high availability, and performance with one single vendor.  Why is this important?  If you deploy your mission-critical environment with different compute and storage vendors, you always face the possibility of “not our problem” finger-pointing.  Simply put, we can ensure your environment is running smoothly.
7. Easy integration with more services – HPE Alletra and HPE GreenLake for Block Storage are integrated into GreenLake central to provide more than 50 other services to help you deploy other workloads – with quick and easy backups and compute done all in a few clicks.

I could go on and on, but I think these top reasons are certainly top of mind for the many customers I talk to.
