DATA STORAGE
AS IT WAS MEANT TO BE


Partner Solution Brief

Get the Competitive Edge with Data Storage Designed for Modern IT Infrastructure


Challenge & Opportunity: Traditional Data Storage has become its own dark cloud for IT Teams when it comes to the day-to-day challenges they are faced with today. From keeping systems online 24/7 to delivering fast, reliable seamless experiences to the end customer.

Operations and development teams are spread thin between taking on storage related problems, developing their main cloud services and helping make them successful. The level of agility, reliability, and performance makes the difference when aiming to deliver high-quality services to customers with fast-changing needs in multiple locations around the world.

The Modern Approach: Today’s IT needs a storage system that delivers peace of mind knowing the system just works, automation to reduce the workload on the team, and simplified monitoring. The right data storage system can mean the difference between surviving and ensuring customers are receiving the experience they demand.

The StorPool Storage platform combined with HPE are exceeding the demands of modern IT Teams. The combined technologies remove old limitations and increase flexibility, enabling faster responses to market dynamics.
