![]() Perhaps you just yawned a bit, unimpressed at whatever it is a fancy storage array can do, because on-premises infrastructure is so last week. As a key foundational component of Nimble’s Adaptive Flash platform, InfoSight provides intelligent, actionable recommendations on how best to scale storage resources in alignment with changing business requirements.” “InfoSight automatically opens 90 percent of all support cases and generates resolutions for over 80 percent of them, dramatically reducing the amount of time and effort your IT team spends on support processes. In Nimble Storage parlance, predictive analytics comes under the branding of Infosight. HPE likes this approach so much that Nimble’s software is likely to make it into other HPE storage offerings, such as 3PAR. In other words, it’s the software that’s interesting because it’s taking on the job of helping a business get the most from their storage. Nimble’s-and now HPE’s-unique storage offering is about predictive analytics. Storage is about a lot of things, depending on your point of view. What’s special about Nimble Storage? Isn’t storage just…storage? Some is faster and some is slower, and you pick the product you find in the overlapping circles of “affordable,” “capacious,” and “fast enough.” To help build out its infrastructure offerings, HPE completed its acquisition of Nimble Storage in April 2017. Therefore, HPE has chosen to be “all in” supplying infrastructure to the world. Just because you don’t have to buy a server to run a workload in AWS doesn’t mean your workload isn’t running somewhere physical. In a cloud world, does it make sense for a leaner, meaner HPE to march ahead as an infrastructure company? HPE argues, “Yes.” Companies still need infrastructure. And let’s not forget the networking portfolio unified under the Aruba brand, which now includes the ProCurve product line. There’s still ProLiant, 3PAR, Nimble, HCI, blade systems, Superdomes, OneView, and so on. In fact, it doesn’t seem like HPE’s portfolio of hardware and software has shrunk all that much. In other words, they’re still selling hardware and software under brand names many IT folks are familiar with. ![]() What are they focused on? In marketing speak, HPE is focused on hybrid IT, apps & data, and the intelligent edge. Who is HPE, aside from one of the biggest names in IT infrastructure? If you peel away all of the recent separations, divestitures, and spin mergers, HPE is a smaller, more focused company.
