Version 4.2 of HPR Primera OS will be for free in the third quarter of this year. The added analytics capabilities identify different performance issues between storage and VMs as well as for underutilized virtual resources. It is now possible to perform cross-stack analytics for Hyper-V. This support should cut down the response time of the HPE Nimble environments by half.įurthermore, the HPE InfoSight management system for the HPE Nimble applications has been expanded upon. Another feature that has been added is support for Storage class memory (SCM). In addition, asynchronous replication capability has been added for on-premise or extensions to the public cloud. Replication capabilities for three separate sites are now provided through version 5.2 of the HPE Nimble OS. This portfolio now includes 99.9999 percent availability and two-site replication. The HPE Nimble portfolio has also been equipped with new features. The HPE Nimble storage arrays already support VVOLs and the CSI plug-in. The VVOL support includes disaster recovery via Site Recovery Manager. Containers are supported by a Kubernetes CSI plug-in. For example, the automation possibilities have been optimised for the supplying storage for VMware VVOLs and containers. HPE Primera also added extra features in terms of containers. Also, a replication environment for HPR Primera can now connect to a public cloud environment and provide data for testing, development and analytics applications. This should provide increased and transparent data access when problems emerge on a large scale. Furthermore, an array can now replicate with Peer Persistence to three global locations simultaneously. In addition, the HPE Primera systems now have an AI subsystem so that the systems can optimize array resource usage in real-time. For example, the added functionality supports twice as many SAP HANA nodes at half the price. The most important new functionality that is added is improved NVMe support.

The mid-range HPE Primera applications will get the new functionality via a new version 4.2 of the Primera OS.

These are mainly software upgrades that should give the various solutions more functionalities. HPE recently added several improvements to its Primera and Nimble storage portfolios.
