Today Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) announced that it is adding new features to its popular 3PAR storage. HPE is adding its new version of InfoSight that leverages AI and automation for the data center. The company states that this will lead to better productivity and efficiency while unlocking the economic value of data.

Companies looking to get a leg up on their competition need to be agile and flexible.  By introducing AI and automation to storage can help with the first two while also freeing up IT to focus more on the core business and revenue versus putting out fires. Taking the latest InfoSight and combining it with 3PAR will deliver self-improving infrastructure and self-service storage, thus accelerating customers’ digital transformation.

As we previously said, HPE InfoSight goes beyond storage and looks at millions of sensors across all of its customers to gather information that will help it predict and prevent several issues. Since the solution can find issues before they happen it can guarantee availability over 99.9999%. This solution will put companies on the path to the autonomous data center. InfoSight’s AI recommendation engine will provide the intelligent decisions needed to anticipate and prevent issues across the data center. The solution will continue to learn and thus improve itself as it moves forward.

Other benefits and enhancements include:

• Powerful toolsets to automate and manage HPE 3PAR for the cloud, DevOps, virtualization and container environments. In addition to existing integration with Docker and Mesosphere DC/OS, HPE 3PAR now works with Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift to offer best-in-class automation and integration with the leading container platforms.
• A new plug-in for VMware vRealize Orchestrator, which empowers users with self-service storage automation through pre-built workflows to quickly deploy, and streamline storage management.
• Enhanced native infrastructure management toolchains to empower DevOps teams to be more agile. New pre-built blueprints for configuration management tools available for HPE 3PAR users – Chef, Puppet and Ansible, as well as language software development kits in Ruby and Python – enable DevOps teams to automate storage functions in native programming languages for faster application deliveries.

Availability

• HPE InfoSight predictive support automation is now available to all HPE 3PAR customers with an active support contract at no additional charge.
• Extended application automation features are now available to all HPE 3PAR customers at no additional charge.
