Built from the DNA of HPE Nimble Storage Adaptive Flash, the HPE 5000 is a simple, reliable, cost-effective hybrid storage platform for general-purpose workloads. HPE Alletra 5000 is also a cloud-native data infrastructure platform adaptively designed for a mix of primary workloads, secondary backup, and disaster recovery.
As with all HPE Storage products, the HPE Alletra 5000 includes HPE InfoSight, a powerful, advanced AIOps for infrastructure that eliminates app disruptions, ensuring applications are always on. The HPE Alletra 5000’s architecture delivers both flash speed and disk economics while enabling consistent performance and data efficiency.
The HPE Alletra is a 4U chassis and can hold up to 21 HDDs and six small form factor SSDs for flash cache purposes. It supports up to six expansion shelves each supporting up to 21 HDDs and three or six Flash Cache SSDs. Supported drive capacities are 2, 4, 6, 10, and 14TB, with dual controllers and Fibre Channel and iSCSI host connectivity options. The Alletra 5000 supports Triple+ Parity RAID as standard.
Enjoy the cloud experience
HPE Alletra was introduced last year as a cloud-native data infrastructure. Powered by the Data Services Cloud Console on the HPE GreenLake platform, HPE Alletra simplifies on-premises storage with the speed and agility of a cloud operational experience.
The entire HPE Alletra line has been designed for simplicity. The HPE 5000 can be operational in minutes. Simply rack the infrastructure, plug in the cords, and connect the network cables. In a few clicks, the new system is configured and available. Using the intent-based provisioning feature makes it simple to automate and optimize app deployment. Administrators can select the storage tier and workload type, specify the capacity and protection policy, and let AI-driven intelligence automatically optimize the service-level agreements (SLAs) by recommending the best-suited system across the entire fleet for new workloads.
Being fully cloud-native, management is straightforward, providing the tools to monitor and manage the entire fleet of block storage from a single SaaS-based cloud console accessible from any location on any device. SaaS-based delivery keeps the system up to date with new data services available instantly. Data plane software upgrades are non-disruptive and intelligently matched to a given system.
HPE InfoSight predicts and prevents disruptions before they occur across the stack, pinpoints issues between storage, VMs, and under-utilized virtual resources, resulting in saving over 1.5 million hours of lost productivity due to downtime. The AI-driven recommendations take the guesswork out of managing the HPE Alletra 5000 while delivering predictive support automation and direct access to experts to avoid time-consuming escalations.
A better price for general-purpose workloads
The HPE Alletra 5000 is built from the ground up to optimize flash with the highest efficiency, delivering fast, consistent performance and data efficiency for business-critical applications. With write serialization, write to disk at flash speeds. Dynamic flash caching accelerates reads even as workloads change in real-time. The always-on data reduction can save up to 5X space without a performance penalty.
Easily scale without disruption by growing the capacity and performance of a running system independently and non-disruptively. Scale up to four arrays with transparent volume mobility between arrays to achieve linear performance and capacity scaling.
Risk-free transition
HPE Nimble Storage Hybrid Flash Array customers can use quick, non-disruptive data-in-place upgrades. In-field controller upgrades allow customers to use and drive ROI from existing HPE Nimble Storage chassis, media, and networking.
