HPE Alletra Storage MP

The B10000 is the disaggregated block-and-file array for mission-critical structured workloads: databases, ERP, virtualization, with a 100% data-availability guarantee. The X10000 is a separate scale-out system built for unstructured data at exabyte scale: object storage, a native POSIX/NFSv4.1 filesystem, AI data pipelines, and backup acceleration. Both share the HPE GreenLake management plane, and Uniqcli can help you decide which one, or both, fits your workload mix.

Today's switched B10000 supports 2, 3, or 4 controller nodes built on 8-core, 16-core, or 32-core AMD EPYC processors with 256GB or 512GB memory cache per node. The v10.6.0 software release extends this to 6 nodes in single-node increments, adding roughly 50% more performance headroom while maintaining dual-node fault tolerance, so you can grow performance without a forklift upgrade.

It is a 4-node configuration that removes external fabric switches, connecting nodes directly. HPE positions it for space- and power-constrained sites and SAP HANA deployments, citing up to 6x higher capacity density and up to 65% lower power draw than comparable high-end arrays, plus up to 73% space savings and 47% energy reduction versus HPE's own switched B10000 configuration.

HPE backs the B10000 with three compensation-backed SLAs on top of the 100% data-availability guarantee: a Cyber Resiliency SLA (recovery expert access within 30 minutes of a ransomware incident, immutable snapshots), an Energy Consumption SLA (capped monthly energy usage with credits if you exceed it, targeting up to 45% lower consumption), and a Zero RTO/RPO SLA (synchronous replication with automatic failover, with compensation if application access is interrupted).

Native detection runs at the storage layer, using adaptive analytics to watch for anomalous encryption and IO patterns, and HPE has validated it against the top 25 ransomware strains, aligned to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0. Layering in HPE Zerto adds VM-level inline detection, continuous journal-based replication for very low RPO, and granular rollback of a single VM or file to a point moments before an attack encrypted it.

Yes, through the X10000. Its Data Protection Accelerator Node offloads deduplication, encryption, and data movement for backup software (Commvault, NetBackup, Veeam) via StoreOnce Catalyst, and its Data Intelligence Node extracts vector embeddings for retrieval-augmented generation pipelines feeding LLMs. Both run on the same GreenLake-managed, disaggregated architecture as the block-and-file B10000.

Uniqcli is an authorized HPE partner and quotes TAA-compliant Alletra MP configurations through GSA MAS (application in progress) and SAP/FAR channels, supports GPC direct-eligible acquisitions, and accepts GPC purchases. Start a quote at /quote and we will confirm node count, SLA tier, contract vehicle, and compliance documentation before you buy.

Configurations ship with HPE factory warranty and are eligible for HPE support tiers plus the HPE Storage Future-Ready Program, which includes non-disruptive controller refresh so you avoid a rip-and-replace cycle at end of life. Uniqcli helps select the right support level and registers entitlements to your organization.
