Considered the latest milestone in the company's larger shift towards a services model. The new subscription model aims to provide holistic cloud software provisioning, from billing to data processing, and also more financial flexibility for its customers.
The Data Services Cloud Console is an API with which customers can manage cloud and data-centric operations. It can be used for HPE-led application automation and developers can use it to access infrastructure and data as code.
HPE Alletra, however, is a completely new 'pay-as-you-go' suite of cloud storage tools, managed through the Data Services Cloud Console. It aims to deliver a unified operation from edge to cloud, with customers no longer needing to make specific hardware choices. Instead, Alletra will run on all-NVMe (nonvolatile memory express) HPE systems, which includes HPE Alletra 9000 and Alletra 6000.
