The HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000 serves as a backup repository either directly through an S3 bucket or a data protection accelerator node for X10000.
HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000
In today's digital-first world, data isn't just growing—it's exploding. From customer records to business analytics, organizations are generating and storing more information than ever before. But with this data boom comes a critical challenge: how do you effectively protect these digital assets from threats like cyberattacks and system failures while ensuring they're always available when you need them? Enter the HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000, a game-changing solution that's redefining what's possible in enterprise data protection. By combining lightning-fast performance with innovative security features, it's designed to tackle the complex data protection challenges that keep IT leaders up at night. Let's dive into how this powerful system is helping organizations safeguard their most valuable asset—their data.
It’s all about data recovery.
The real value of backup is in getting critical data back fast when something goes sideways. Traditional systems weren’t built for that. As data volumes grow and threats become more sophisticated, enterprises need more than basic backup—they need scalable, high performance recovery built into their infrastructure from day one.
That’s what the data protection accelerator node for HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000 delivers. It brings together flash-speed performance, enterprise-class deduplication, and ransomware-resilient immutability—all backed by massively scalable object storage. And this is what modern data protection looks like.
When recovery speed isn’t optional
When ransomware hits or systems fail, recovery speed becomes the only thing that matters. The data protection accelerator node turns backup from a liability into a strength. It delivers linearly scalable performance that multiplies as you grow. This isn’t theoretical—it’s measurable relative to traditional backup targets.
One node? Up to 3x faster backup and 6x faster restore
Two nodes? Up to 6x backup and 12x restore—provides a massive leap for midsized environments
Three nodes? Up to 9x backup and 18x restore—unleashes massive enterprise recovery firepower
You’re not just reducing downtime—you’re rewriting the recovery playbook.
Built for the enterprise—not just for backup
The data protection accelerator node is a strategic component of the X10000 data protection solution. It’s tightly integrated with and runs HPE StoreOnce Catalyst—our backup-optimized protocol that delivers deduplication-aware, encrypted, and WAN-optimized workflows.
This design gives IT teams:
- Hardware-accelerated performance with zero compromise
- Full immutability and in-line encryption to protect backup data from being tampered with
- Seamless support for hybrid cloud, replication, and long-term retention
- Independent scaling of performance and capacity
From databases and virtual machines to analytics pipelines and cloud-native apps, this is a backup solution that grows with the business—and brings recovery along for the ride.
Efficiency, resilience, and cyber protection at scale
Backing up data isn’t enough. You need to protect and recover it while not blowing up your budget. The data protection accelerator node delivers enterprise-class data efficiency and ransomware resilience:
- Up to 20:1 deduplication—reducing backup storage by up to 95%
- End-to-end encryption—at the source, in flight, and at rest
- Immutable backup storage that can’t be altered or deleted
- WAN-optimized HPE StoreOnce Catalyst copy for fast, efficient replication
- Cloud-tiering for low-cost and long-term backup retention
This is a protection that pays for itself—in uptime, in security posture, and in saved storage costs.
Capacity that expands with you—without a bottleneck
HPE StoreOnce Catalyst deduplication enables effective capacity that far exceeds physical hardware—scaling from terabytes to petabytes without a forklift upgrade. With the disaggregated architecture of X10000, you can grow storage and performance independently, avoiding stranded capacity or overspending. It’s a long-term scale without compromise.
Flexible deployment with consistent results
Backups to and from HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000 are coordinated by HPE Complete data protection software such as Commvault, Veeam, and Cohesity NetBackup. The HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000 is used as a backup repository either directly through an S3 bucket or a data protection accelerator node for X10000.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise offers two validated paths for backup to X10000 as seen in Figure 1:

Why it matters
Data protection isn’t about how many copies you store—it’s about how quickly you can bring them back to life.
When recovery matters most, the data protection accelerator node for HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000 plays a critical role, offering:
- Linearly scalable backup and restore performance
- Enterprise-grade deduplication, encryption, and immutability
- Massive effective capacity with HPE StoreOnce Catalyst efficiency
- Seamless integration with backup software and hybrid cloud
Why? Because in the moments that matter, good enough won’t cut it.
You need a system built to bring your business back—fast.
