The Next Era of Storage is Here

The most significant storage announcement in HP’s history

HP has just introduced industry-first, breakthrough innovations to the HP Converged Storage portfolio to save you time, lower costs and help you extract more value from information in virtualized, cloud and big data environments. Whether you engage in looking for new cures, help keep financial markets ticking, find new ways to connect people, or explore new frontiers, you’ll have more resources to fuel what matters to you.

HP Converged Storage delivers ROI to the power of three

Seamlessly delivering IT services, extracting more value from information and reducing business risk exposure—this seems like a lot to ask of storage. But this is what modern virtual, cloud, and big data environments need.

Unlike the dozens of fragmented storage products provided by other vendors, HP Converged Storage provides a single storage system architecture with common data services for block, object and file applications—delivering “polymorphic” simplicity—capable of meeting any need at any scale.

Your investments now provide higher:

Return on information: Extract more value and make better decisions.

Enabling faster decisions based on more relevant information though intelligent search and information retention capabilities.

Return on infrastructure: Lower costs and boost agility.

Improving utilization through massive consolidation and federated data mobility.

Return on individuals: Save time and reduce complexity.

Simplifying storage with common services and management from entry-level to enterprise-class.

By increasing returns on information, infrastructure and individuals with ROI to the power of three, you have more resources to channel into what matters to you.
