In this episode, Chris catches up with Omer Asad (SVP & GM) from HPE and Phil Manez (Director of Channel Sales) from VAST Data to discuss the recent announcement of HPE GreenLake for File Storage, powered by VAST Data’s Universal Storage platform. HPE and VAST Data have partnered to bring a new scale-out file services solution to market. HPE has developed a new platform of storage hardware, branded Alletra MP. The “file persona” is powered by VAST Data Universal Storage, marketed, sold and supported by HPE.
GreenLake for File Storage (and Block Storage sibling) represents a change in strategy for HPE, as software and hardware are licensed separately. This approach aligns with the direction adopted by VAST Data when Gemini was first announced in April 2021. From the perspective of VAST Data, the HPE partnership provides access to a broader market of customers, with an entry point as small as 250TB of unstructured data storage capacity.

Finally, here’s a link to the HPE GreenLake Day for storage event Omer mentions in the discussion.
