[StorageExperts]

HPE Alletra, HPE Nimble Storage dHCI, and Zerto 9.0 are finalists, reinforcing the importance of simple, agile, and secure storage solutions that deliver the cloud operational experience.

HPE Alletra, HPE Nimble Storage dHCI, and Zerto 9.0 have been selected as enterprise data storage finalists for the TechTarget 2021 Product of the Year awards.

The editors of TechTarget’s Storage Magazine and SearchStorage.com have selected the finalists for their 2021 Product of the Year Awards, and – good news! – products from Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Zerto, an HPE company, have been selected in three categories.

This recognition underscores our vision to simplify data management with a cloud operational experience. Customers, partners, and industry experts all know it’s time to reduce complexity and make bold, holistic moves beginning where data lives: in your storage resources, whether they be on-premises, in a colo, or at the edge. We deliver on this vision with the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform, giving HPE Storage customers unprecedented levels of agility, protection against ransomware and other cyberattacks, seamless operations across hybrid cloud, and lower costs.

Announcing Product of the Year finalists

TechTarget’s 2021 Product of the Year Awards recognize winners in five categories, and HPE Storage has finalists in three:

• Disk and Disk Subsystems
• Backup and Disaster Recovery Hardware, Software and Services
• Hyperconverged and Composable Infrastructures

All enterprise data storage products were judged based on technological innovation, performance, ease of integration, ease of use and manageability, functionality, and value. It’s exciting to see our products showcased in these categories and realize how well they conform with customers’ needs.

Disk and Disk Subsystem Category: HPE Alletra 

HPE Alletra represents a bold paradigm shift for data infrastructure across edge to cloud, enabling IT to shift from owning and maintaining data infrastructure to simply accessing and utilizing it on-demand and as a service. The cloud-native data infrastructure is built for every application from traditional to modern, spanning workload-optimized systems to deliverHPE Alletra 9000 architectural flexibility without the complexity of traditional storage management. 

You can deploy, provision, manage, and scale storage in 99% less time with storage that sets up in minutes, automates provisioning, and upgrades transparently. AI-driven recommendations improve performance, drive higher availability, and optimize resource utilization and planning.

HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform delivers enterprise storage as a service across workload-optimized systems on-premises and in the cloud, allowing customers to consume HPE Alletra in a pay-per-use model, to scale up and down, or as complete turnkey solution.

Backup and DR Hardware, Software, and Services Category: Zerto 9.0

According to Storage Magazine, the finalists in this year's Backup and Disaster Recovery (DR) category embody “the growing need of IT professionals to address some of the most pressing issues in data protection, such as SaaS backup, growing cybersecurity threats like ransomware, and cloud management. Scalability, replication, and immutability capabilities were also key components in many finalist entries along with Kubernetes support and backup of containerized workloads.”

Yesterday’s one-size-fits-all approaches don’t have the scope or resiliency to protect data in the current threat landscape — and won’t power your IT modernization journey. Zerto, a recent HPE acquisition, adds market-leading DR to our cloud services portfolio to help enterprises like yours meet cyberthreats and ransomware attacks head-on. Continuous Data Protection (CDP) technology in Zerto 9.0 software provides recovery in minutes – and to a state just seconds before an attack.

You can seamlessly deploy and scale DR protection as a service and from edge to cloud. With the lowest recovery point objectives (RPOs) and fastest recovery time objectives (RTOs) in the industry, you get near zero data loss and application downtime.

Hyperconverged and Composable Infrastructure Category: HPE Nimble Storage dHCI

IT is increasingly looking to streamline operations, unlock agility, and do more with less. Hyperconverged infrastructure brings an experience that makes it simple to deploy, manage and upgrade infrastructure. As organizations look to bring thisHPE Nimble Storage dHCI experience to business-critical apps and mixed-workloads, there’s a need to evolve HCI to do more.

Delivered as-a-service, HPE Nimble Storage dHCI is disaggregated hyperconverged infrastructure (dHCI) that delivers the hyperconverged experience but with better resiliency, performance, and economics than traditional HCI. With VM-centric and AI-driven operations, it’s simple to manage. And with 99.9999% guaranteed data availability, sub-millisecond latency, and cloud-based operational agility support, it’s ideal for business-critical apps and mixed workloads.

HPE Nimble Storage dHCI empowers your IT organization with:

• Simplicity for any VM admin to deploy and manage workloads
• Performance with All-NVMe support with latency as low as 200 microseconds — especially for write IOs for mixed workloads
• Intelligence for AI-driven operations
• Cloud experience for VMs as a service available in a cloud consumption model via HPE GreenLake, and
• True hybrid cloud with on-prem to cloud mobility

Ready to see it in action? Take dHCI for a test drive.
