experience from many customers across a
range of industries. Below is an example of
what HPE delivered to one customer.
Challenges
Enterprises going through digital
transformation face significant problems
of simultaneously managing storage for
traditional predictable applications while
enabling storage for rapid application
development to support innovation
and experimentation.
Balancing these demands with legacy
storage platforms is not possible. Some of
the key customer challenges that HPE has
observed include:
• Poor application performance from
legacy systems. With so much data
to process and analyze, organizations
are experiencing bottlenecks that are
hindering innovative use of data. Legacy
storage infrastructure cannot keep up
with evolving demands. Application
processing is affected, and the lack of
data availability has negative impacts on
business operations. The rollout of new
applications is often blocked because the
storage infrastructure cannot deliver the
needed performance.
• Insufficient storage capabilities to handle
today’s data explosion. Digital and social
media include text, pictures, videos, and
other media types that are not easily
indexed. Adding to this complexity
is the data generated by “things” at
the man/machine edge. Designing an
infrastructure that can support these
media types is critical to leveraging
this data. It must be accessible and
stored in a way that is cost effective.
Organizations need methods to turn this
data into information that can change
how they do business. n
