Mission Critical Apps: Keeping up with the ever increasing demands

It’s near impossible for IT to keep up with the demands of both new and existing mission-critical applications because they’re consumed with provisioning, troubleshooting, and supporting infrastructure. Sacrificing resiliency for agility is no longer acceptable; you need a new generation of enterprise storage that frees IT to accelerate what’s next with storage that manages itself, predicts and prevents disruptions, and delivers ultra-low latency for every application. HPE Primera is one of the world’s most intelligent storage for mission-critical apps, combining autonomous operations with extreme resiliency and performance. The storage platform for these workloads is the key for you to unlock innovation, get ahead, and ultimately be more competitive. The 10 HPE must haves for your organisation.

1. The most advanced AI for infrastructure

Over the past decade, HPE InfoSight has analysed over 1,250 trillion data points, transforming how storage is managed and supported. Through cloud-based machine learning, it predicts and prevents 86% of issues from storage to apps and automates 85% of support calls. HPE InfoSight is embedded into HPE Primera with real-time intelligence to deliver instant insights and dynamic optimisation that takes action on its own, creating an end-to-end AI pipeline for self-managing storage.

2. A unique OS that helps eliminate risk and simplifies management

COVID-19 has accelerated changes in how we work. Remote environments have become the norm and the ability to support employee productivity is no longer in question. But even before the pandemic, the HPE Primera OS uniquely brings advanced data services with radical simplicity and enhanced resiliency to your mission-critical apps. Unlike monolithic operating systems (OS) that create upgrade risk and require node reboots, HPE Primera is based on a services-centric OS, where every data service can be deployed, upgraded, and restarted independent of each other. This helps eliminate risk and node reboots for most updates. With the HPE Primera OS, you get a simple consumer grade user experience, faster access to new innovation, and a timeless investment that grows non disruptively with your business.
