Without question, the ability to store, manage, and protect data is now more critical than ever. Yet, according to ESG Research, a staggering 76% of organizations struggle to meet these demands. This challenge is particularly pronounced when it comes to unstructured data, due to its sheer volume and complexity.
That’s because the role of unstructured data storage has fundamentally transformed. It’s no longer just a static repository for transactional data. It’s become a dynamic enabler of business value. To navigate contemporary challenges, a next-generation approach to data management is essential. Such a solution must not only address existing limitations but also deliver faster time to outcomes. By rethinking data storage, your organization can unlock new levels of efficiency, security, and business value, ensuring they remain competitive in an increasingly data-centric world.

The X10000 is not just a storage solution. It's a game changer for enterprises looking to optimize their data management and drive business value.
Built from the ground up by HPE for enterprise customers, the X10000 is ideally suited for data lakes, digital repositories, and data protection use cases. It delivers enterprise-grade, all-flash, scale-out performance with up to 6x faster performance versus leading competitors2 to turbocharge your most demanding applications. With its uniquely disaggregated storage design, you can easily scale to exabyte levels, ensuring your storage needs are right sized without compromise.
Managing your storage infrastructure has never been easier. HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000 leverages the radically simple HPE GreenLake cloud operational experience. This means you can streamline management tasks, reduce complexity, and accelerate your time-to-value, all while maintaining flexibility to adapt to new trends and requirements.
One common platform, one management paradigm
Managing distributed systems is becoming increasingly complex, and IT teams are now often tasked with bringing more workloads back on-premises. This shift can slow down the very innovation these teams aim to deliver. The convergence of rising data-first demands and hybrid cloud complexity creates a perfect storm for IT departments. Enterprises need solutions that streamline operations, optimize workloads, and unlock the full potential of data lakes and analytics without compromising agility.
HPE Alletra Storage MP is designed to address these challenges head-on. It is a software-defined, multiprotocol storage platform that provides flexibility and high performance for both structured and unstructured data storage needs. It consists of standardized, composable building blocks – compute (node), capacity (JBOFs), and switches – that can be configured for different software-defined storage personas and use cases. Serving as a storage building block, HPE Alletra Storage MP offers a common platform for multiple storage services. With it, you can leverage: HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 (formerly HPE GreenLake for Block Storage), HPE GreenLake for File Storage, and now the X10000 for object storage. All are managed by HPE GreenLake cloud.
With the introduction of object storage delivered by the X10000, we are delivering on our vision to provide multiple storage services with multi-protocol support on a single disaggregated cloud managed platform. This approach simplifies data management, reduces complexity, and enhances operational efficiency.
Meeting the new requirements for modern data-intensive applications
While cost remains a significant focus, the demands surrounding data consolidation, storage performance, scalability, flexibility, and extensibility have evolved profoundly. Modern workloads now require innovative solutions to address these new challenges effectively.
Transformative performance
Managing and accessing vast volumes of data necessitates performance enhancements, low latency, and high throughput to support your data-intensive systems. Without these improvements, it's impossible to maximize the return on investment (ROI) from your AI and data-driven initiatives.
Why choose HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000?
- Advanced key value store – The X10000 incorporates a log-structured key value store, optimizing the use of flash media for superior performance. Native AWS S3/S3a API support ensures robust object storage capabilities, making it ideal for modern cloud-ready applications.
- All-NVMe performance – Enjoy fast, sustained, and predictable all-NVMe performance across the entire solution, with up to 6x faster performance versus the competition.2 Unlike traditional systems, there is no front-end caching or data movement between media. Each node adds a proportionate amount of performance to the cluster, enabling seamless scaling for concurrent users and client nodes.
Massive scale
Consider the sheer gravity of a petabyte of data. Moving such enormous amounts of data to the cloud or other storage tiers to manage ongoing data growth is not only burdensome but also risky. In a time when unstructured data is proliferating in unprecedented ways, a highly scalable solution is essential for your most data-intensive workloads. Your storage infrastructure must be designed to handle petabyte-scale or even exabyte-scale data, while also being flexible and adaptable to new trends and requirements.
Why choose HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000?
- Disaggregated storage – The X10000 features a disaggregated shared everything storage architecture, allowing independent scaling of performance and capacity. This innovative design, based on HPE Alletra Storage MP, meets the needs of any workload while reducing costs and enhancing flexibility. You can boost efficiency and cost savings with single controller node performance scaling. Capacity expansion is seamless, requiring minimal data movement, and upgrades can be performed non-disruptively. Performance and capacity can be rebalanced during expansions with minimal impact, eliminating the need for costly data transfers.
- Start small, scale big – Don’t be forced to overprovision right from the start. The X10000 is designed to allow you to start with just three nodes and scale to hundreds of nodes, while always maintaining storage efficiency and high availability.
- Software-defined flexibility – As a container-native solution with Kubernetes-based orchestration, the X10000 allows for future inline data services, bringing compute closer to the data. This software-defined approach ensures that your infrastructure remains flexible and adaptable to evolving data needs.
- Capacity efficiency – The X10000 supports erasure coding and inline data reduction, maximizing capacity efficiency and ensuring optimal use of storage resources.
Cloud operational experience
Traditional storage solutions often come with multiple data management applications that can become complex to manage. To keep pace with the speed of modern business, you need to simplify operations and accelerate processes with a robust cloud operational experience. This experience should not be limited to the public cloud but should extend to on-premises environments and encompass all storage types, including block, file, and object storage.
