Hewlett Packard Enterprise enhances its entry storage portfolio

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has announced enhancements to its entry storage portfolio to help customers with limited budgets harness content and accelerate applications. New HPE MSA Storage options enable dual-controller hybrid flash array while the new HPE StoreEasy 1650 Expanded transforms the economics of storing large volumes of digital information, says the company.

“In today’s economy, agility and speed are critical to stay competitive, regardless of business size,” said Joybrata Mukherjee, Country Head, Storage, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, India.“That’s why Hewlett Packard Enterprise is bringing enterprise storage scale and performance within reach of customers who have even the most constrained budgets.”

To accelerate business responsiveness and enable faster decision making, HPE has enhanced its HPE MSA Storage family to include solid state drive (SSD) support for the HPE MSA 1040. This expanded support for SSDs results in new hybrid flash configurations that deliver performance and latency-optimised storage, which makes the hybrid flash-enabled HPE MSA product family affordable for a wider range of new customers.

Application demands are driving the need for shared storage with greater efficiency and performance at a cost that can still fit into constrained IT budgets. With added support for SSDs and advance storage virtualisation features previously available only with the flagship MSA 2040, both the MSA 1040 and 2040can now take advantage of more cost-efficient flash media, says HPE.

For customers who need an affordable and sustainable capacity-optimised solution for bulk and secondary file storage, the HPE StoreEasy 1650 Expanded is an ultra-dense and resilient NAS appliance designed to maximise value and scale without complexity, says the company.

The HPE StoreEasy 1650 Expanded and the HPE MSA 1040 are part of the HPE Just Right IT portfolio and are available through the HPE Small Business Marketplace.
