It’s time for another Around the IT Block Chalk Talk. I’m your host and chalk board writer the IT
Oddfather Calvin Zito. In this Chalk Talk, we'll look the HPE GreenLake for Block Storage service.
You can’t have complexity slowing you down. You need the speed and agility of a cloud experience
everywhere to simplify operations and move faster. In fact, 91% of organizations agree
that cloud operations on-premises is the single most important step to eliminating complexity.
Cloud operations is a game changer for storage as a service but the current storage as-a-service
offerings are limiting transformation. • Managed services come at a premium
not suitable for broad adoption. • Four 9s availability is not suited
for mission critical applications. • And complex storage management is
not suited for self-service agility You can transform faster with HPE
GreenLake for Block Storage, the industry's first storage as a service with self-service and 100%
availability guarantee built in for mission critical environments.
• HPE GreenLake for Block Storage simplifies day two operations and beyond
so you go faster with self-service agility. • Shift from owning data infrastructure to
simply accessing and utilizing it, and consume it as a service.
• Meet your desired SLAs with mission critical, business critical, and general purpose storage
tiers to run any app without compromise. And getting started is simple.
Get instant attribute-based quoting and rapid ordering. It’s four easy steps:
1. Select your availability tier. 2. Select your performance level.
3. Select your reserve capacity and then finally 4. Select your subscription term.
You select outcomes, we deliver them. Go faster with self-service agility and
simplify on-premises block storage lifecycle management with cloud operations. Let’s
look at the cloud experience you will get: • Simplified deployment with no specialist
required. Deploy block storage in just minutes. • Intent based provisioning intelligently
provisions application workloads on infrastructure. I'll talk more about this next.
• Manage and monitor from anywhere with one console to manage it all,
simple self-service cloud experience and access from anywhere, any device.
• And invisible upgrades that are automated, non-disruptive, and policy driven.
Let's look a bit closer at intent-based provisioning: Provisioning data today is complex,
time consuming and filled with guesswork. The intent-based provisioning service in HPE
GreenLake for Block Storage makes it simple to provision applications at scale and eliminates
the guesswork. The intent based provisioning service, powered by AI determines where data
should be stored with real time context to resource headroom and application specific SLAs.
HPE GreenLake for Block Storage cloud operational experience is powered by data driven insights
and intelligence of HPE InfoSight. The AI managed service drives autonomous,
self-driving data infrastructure. • Predict and prevent problems
with over 1.5 million hours saved. • Redefine this support experience
with predictive support automation. • Pinpoint issues across the stack
from storage to VM visibility. • And eliminate the guesswork
with AI driven recommendations. HPE GreenLake for Block Storage
empowers your organization to shift from buying and maintaining data infrastructure to simply
accessing and utilizing it. • It's self-service: get the
storage resources you need with workload optimized storage tiers delivered in days.
• It's pay-per-use: shift from heavy upfront costs to a transparent and
predictable monthly subscription. • Scale up and down: scale on demand
as required with buffer capacity for unexpected workloads or usage demands.
Run any app without compromise. Let me share two numbers 100% and six nines. 100% availability
guaranteed for mission critical apps and six nines availability guaranteed for all other workloads.
Let me end by looking at how HPE GreenLake for Block Storage leads.
• While competing on-prem storage-as-a-service offerings are still delivering the same
traditional storage management - requiring expertise for day 2 and beyond - HPE
GreenLake for Block Storage simplifies on-prem storage management with self-service and cloud
operational agility across the lifecycle, from ordering to provisioning and upgrades.
• Competing on-prem and public cloud-based solutions only offer 4 nines availability
but HPE GreenLake for Block storage is suitable for mission critical apps with 100% availability
guaranteed for the mission critical tier. • You get on premises security, cost,
and regulatory control – the kind of control you can’t get with the public
cloud. And with HPE GreenLake for Block Storage, you get a cloud-like experience.
• HPE GreenLake cloud services has a breadth and depth of cloud services with the widest portfolio
of on-premises cloud services that competiting on-premises storage as a service vendors
can not deliver. To learn more,
