Patrick has been with Hewlett Packard Enterprise for over 13 years with a laser focus on storage technology, Cloud Infrastructure, and Big Data. Patrick holds the SVP & GM position running the Cloud and Data Infrastructure Platforms business for HPE. Before this, Patrick was VP Storage Business Unit and, before that, VP & GM, Big Data, Analytics, and Scale-out- Platforms. Patrick describes himself as a technology and business leader focused on growth and scaling teams. In this podcast Brian and Patrick cover off on a lot of what’s new at HPE GreenLake like files services from VAST Data, new block storage options and even new data protection and replication offerings. The guys also get into what’s new with Alletra MP hardware, which underpins the new block and file services and how Alletra MP will impact HPE’s traditional SAN storage arrays in the near future. ![](https://www.storagereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/SR-HPE-Alletra-MP-Rear-e1680608841631.png) We timestamped this podcast to help you navigate the show. 00:00 Introduction - GreenLake Day for Storage Intro - What’s new - GreenLake Cloud Platform - Block Storage - [GreenLake for Block Storage](https://www.storagereview.com/news/hpe-greenlake-file-block-and-protection-services-launched) - Features - New OS - Alletra MP 05:00 Alletra MP - What’s in the Alletra MP Platform - Collect customer attributes - Assess data and plug it into the sizing model - Cloud physics - Review APIs - Deliver SLAs - RFPs are less focused on specs - Are workloads really that different between customers - Using the telemetry database - Storage teams are smaller 10:00 Managing and protecting customer - Data Protection - IP protection - Government requirements - Data Sovereignty - Using Kubernetes, OpenShift, EKS - New services - Web experiences - Mobile - Acquisition integration - [GreenLake For File Storage](https://www.storagereview.com/news/hpe-greenlake-file-block-and-protection-services-launched) - Partnering with VAST Data - Partnering with known vendors - Bespoke hardware - Making it easy for customers - Shipping in volume - Space is the new edge - Curated partnerships for GreenLake platform consumption 14:00 HPE Partnerships - Open ecosystem - Partner friendly - Building the most modern partnerships for customers - File storage - Data services - [Zerto](https://www.storagereview.com/news/hpe-adds-new-cloud-services-simplified-experience-to-greenlake-platform) - Protection for VMs - Ransomware 18:00 Demos and Roadmaps - HPE release cadence - Waterfall release methodology - GreenLake Cloud Platform - releases can happen more often - Continuous delivery of improvement 25:00 Shift in investments - CapEx vs. OpEx - Flexibility 29:00 Wrap Up - That’s a wrap [Podcast video](https://youtu.be/Ewexi7f1zVA) Subscribe to our podcast: - [iTunes](https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/storagereview.com-storage/id1060681115#) - [Stitcher](http://app.stitcher.com/browse/feed/78079/episodes "Opens in a new window") - [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/1y6VnznABhHeOSMOmbDTz0 "Opens in a new window") - [Google Play](https://play.google.com/music/listen?gclid=CJGn-bXhu8wCFRFVfgod2KoAcA&gclsrc=ds&u=0#/ps/Izxy4obb6t52eqwngpenhxvex7i "Opens in a new window") [HPE GreenLake for Block Storage](https://www.hpe.com/us/en/hpe-greenlake-block-storage.html "Opens in a new window") [HPE GreenLake for File Storage](https://www.hpe.com/us/en/newsroom/press-release/2023/04/hpe-transforms-data-lifecycle-management-with-expanded-hpe-alletra-portfolio-with-new-file-block-and-data-protection-services.html "Opens in a new window") **Engage with StorageReview** [Newsletter](https://www.storagereview.com/storage_newsletter) |  [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/user/StorageReview "Opens in a new window") | Podcast  [iTunes](https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/storagereview-com-storage-reviews/id1060681115 "Opens in a new window")/ [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/1y6VnznABhHeOSMOmbDTz0 "Opens in a new window") |  [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/storagereview/ "Opens in a new window") |  [Twitter](https://twitter.com/storagereview "Opens in a new window") |  [TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@storagereview?
