Overview:

Are you bringing new mission-critical applications to market while supporting existing ones in order to accelerate speed of business, agility and innovation?

Is your traditional high-end storage holding you back because you are tied down administering, tuning, and supporting infrastructure?

HPE Primera redefines what's possible in mission-critical storage by combining autonomous operations with extreme resiliency and performance. Built with the agility of cloud and powered by HPE InfoSight, HPE Primera delivers instant access to data with storage that sets up in minutes, upgrades transparently, and is delivered as a service. Plus, it’s backed by a 100% Availability Guarantee.

HPE Primera 600 Storage

HPE Primera is a Tier-0 enterprise storage solution that delivers the extreme resiliency and performance of high-end storage with the agility of the cloud. Built upon proven resiliency and powered by the intelligence of HPE InfoSight, HPE Primera delivers instant access to data with storage that sets up in minutes, upgrades transparently, and is delivered as a service. Ensure alwaysfast and always-on storage for all mission-critical applications.

HPE Primera comprises three models: HPE Primera 630, HPE Primera 650, and HPE Primera 670. Each model is available as an all-flash version (A630, A650 and A670) or converged flash version* (C630, C650, C670). Future proof, and NVMeoF ready, HPE Primera, can be configured as an All-NVMe or as a SAS/ NVMe flash array.

HPE Primera comes standard with HPE Proactive Care and a 100% data availability guarantee without requiring special contracts or onerous terms. Ensure no disruptions are ever felt with app-aware resiliency, guaranteed across all models of HPE Primera. If you experience less than 100% availability, Hewlett Packard Enterprise works with you to resolve the issue and provide financial credit to apply toward a future purchase of HPE Primera products.

What's New

• Self-optimize system operations in real-time by intelligently and dynamically optimizing resource utilization to ensure fast and predictable performance.
