Introducing the sixth generation of HPE StoreEasy Storage

[StorageExperts]

Learn about the new StoreEasy NAS models with a new management experience, lower cost expansion, more security capabilities and twice the performance of the previous generation.

Today we launched the next-gen of our affordable, entry-level network-attached storage appliances, rounding out the March introduction of the capacity-optimized StoreEasy 1660 and the performance-optimized StoreEasy 1860.

For more than a decade, HPE StoreEasy Storage has been selected by organizations in every industry and at every size, all over the world, to meet file storage needs.

Built from the best-selling HPE ProLiant Gen10 family of servers and crafted to meet the file and application data storage needs of SMBs and distributed branch offices, the sixth generation of HPE StoreEasy Storage is arguably our best yet. What I’m most excited about is how we’re driving UX improvements for StoreEasy admins through our recently launched management console & REST API. We’ve got a lot of goodness we’re cooking up for future releases, and my team is looking forward to sharing updates on console development in the near future.

We build our pre-configured models leveraging best-in-class ProLiant Gen10 components needed for a resilient, scalable file storage platform. Powered by Intel Xeon Scalable family processors, we embed the Windows Storage Server 2016 Operating System and tune the image to help streamline initial configuration and avoid common missteps when setting up your new NAS.
