HPE Alletra Storage

Beyond the flagship Alletra Storage MP B10000 (unified block and file) and MP X10000 (scale-out file and object for AI), the family includes Alletra Storage Server 4000 (4110, 4120, 4140) for data-centric server-based storage, Alletra Storage 5000 for cost-efficient hybrid HDD/flash-cache arrays, Alletra dHCI for disaggregated hyperconverged infrastructure, and MSA Gen7 as the entry-level SAN. Each targets a different budget and workload tier so you are not overbuying capability you do not need.

Any Alletra Storage MP B10000 purchased with a minimum 3-year support agreement carries HPE's 100% data availability guarantee. HPE backs it with additional named SLAs: Zero RTO/RPO for synchronous active-active replication and automatic failover, a Cyber Resiliency SLA guaranteeing recovery-expert access within 30 minutes of a ransomware incident plus immutable snapshot retention, and compensation terms if HPE misses these commitments.

Yes. In 2026, X10000 became the first object storage platform to achieve NVIDIA-Certified Storage validation at the Foundation level, validated against AI environments scaling to 128 GPUs. It supports RDMA for objects and NVIDIA GPUDirect, and HPE cites up to 20x faster time-to-first-token and 17x higher effective inference throughput versus prior-generation storage feeding the same GPU cluster.

The B10000 supports 2, 3, or 4-controller-node switched models (16-core or 32-core controllers) and scales via JBOF expansion shelves up to roughly 5.9 PB of all-NVMe capacity in a single system. The X10000 scales to 16 compute and 16 storage nodes with up to 23 PB of raw file and object capacity, and both scale non-disruptively as you add nodes or shelves.

Storage Server 4000 (4110, 4120, 4140) is a server-based platform, not a controller-pair array: you run software-defined storage or data protection software (Cohesity, Veeam, Commvault) directly on the box. The 4110 is a 1U all-NVMe design for up to 315 GB/s of PCIe Gen5 bandwidth, the 4120 is a 2U balanced-capacity model with configurable LFF/SFF/EDSFF bays, and the 4140 is a 4U bulk-capacity model supporting up to 84 LFF drives.

Yes. HPE offers a dedicated Alletra Storage MP 2U TAA-compliant chassis for federal buys, and MSA Gen7 configurations can be built TAA-compliant across HDD and SSD media choices. Both are purchasable via GPC direct, SAP, FAR-based purchase orders, and GSA eBuy contract vehicles, which is required since SAP/FAR channels dollar values exceed the Trade Agreements Act threshold.

Alletra Storage 5000 is the hybrid tier: a 4U array holding up to 21 HDDs plus 6 flash-cache SSDs per base enclosure (up to roughly 294 TB with expansion shelves), using dynamic flash caching to write at flash speed to cost-optimized disk. It targets mixed primary and secondary workloads such as backup targets and file shares where 9000-series or MP-class performance is not required, backed by a 99.9999% guaranteed-availability SLA.
