  • HPE Private Cloud now offers Kubernetes for unified management of VMs and containers on single platform with independent scaling.

  • HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000 expands with native file storage alongside object storage, scaling to 16 nodes and 23PB raw capacity.

  • X10000 delivers industry-leading backup ingest performance up to 2.5 PB/hour using Data Protection Accelerator Node.

  • HPE Zerto enables live workload migration from VMware to HPE VMs with continuous data protection.

  • New agentic AI capabilities across HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000, HPE Zerto, and HPE Data Fabric Software.

  • HPE Data Fabric Software features conversational interface and agentic AI assistant for natural language access to global namespace.

Next-Generation Private Cloud Unifies Workloads

“Enterprises are rapidly modernizing for AI and cloud-native runtimes and this transformation is placing new demands on how environments are managed, protected, and scaled,” said Fidelma Russo, EVP & GM, Hybrid Cloud & CTO at HPE. “With these innovations, we're helping organizations adopt a unified operating model that brings together private cloud, data, and protection, simplifies migration from legacy platforms, strengthens resilience, and delivers superior TCO to operate at scale.”

HPE Private Cloud is now in its fourth generation and delivers a flexible experience for organizations modernizing infrastructure beyond traditional virtualization environments. HPE Private Cloud now offers Kubernetes for unified management of virtual machines (VMs) and containers on a single platform, with independent scaling for cloud-native workloads. The new system is built on the latest HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12, delivering improved performance per watt, higher workload consolidation, and enhanced security with HPE Integrated Lights-Out (iLO).

Expanded Data Protection and Migration Capabilities

HPE Zerto Software now enables live workload migration from VMware environments to HPE virtual machines with continuous data protection, helping organizations migrate with minimal disruption. New integrations for the Veeam Data Platform provide data protection for HPE Private Cloud with agentless, host-level, image-based backup. HPE StoreOnce now integrates with HPE Private Cloud to deliver efficient, space-saving backup for real-time replication with near-zero RPO/RTO recovery.

HPE Alletra Storage MP Advancements

HPE is expanding its unified data layer with new native file storage, additional scale-out block storage, and agentic AI management. HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000 expands how customers access data by giving them new native file storage alongside existing object storage on a single platform. The X10000 now scales to 16 nodes and 23PB raw capacity and offers a new 100% data availability guarantee. The X10000 will deliver remote direct memory access (RDMA) enabled file storage, building on existing support for S3 (object storage) over RDMA.

HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 expands performance and resilience for mission-critical workloads with new real-time, agentic support that autonomously detects, analyzes, and resolves storage issues and a new 5:1 data reduction guarantee. The B10000 also allows additional scaling from four to six controller nodes to provide 50% more performance and built-in dual-node fault tolerance.

HPE Data Fabric and Zerto AI Capabilities

HPE Data Fabric Software features new policy-based data placement and movement, providing a comprehensive solution for organizations to prepare and manage data for AI workloads across hybrid environments. A new conversational interface and agentic AI assistant provide natural language access to the global namespace for faster insights, automated reporting, and improved decision-making.

HPE Zerto offers new AI-powered data protection through a simple AI assistant and is now integrated with Microsoft Defender to deliver real-time threat visibility and faster recovery.

Customer and Partner Perspectives

“At the Dallas Cowboys, we operate as a global, technology-driven sports and entertainment enterprise, where delivering a seamless, high-performance experience across AT&T Stadium is critical to our success,” said Matt Messick, CIO at the Dallas Cowboys. “HPE's unified approach to private cloud platforms allows us to modernize our infrastructure while maintaining the flexibility and resilience we need to support everything from real-time fan engagement to large-scale event operations.”

“Veeam's partnership with HPE is focused on helping organizations simplify and strengthen data and AI trust as they modernize their infrastructure,” said Dave Russell, SVP and Head of Strategy at Veeam. “By integrating Veeam Data Platform with HPE Private Cloud, we're enabling organizations to protect their environments with greater speed, resilience, and flexibility.”
