HPE Brings Artificial Intelligence to the Data Center
November 21 2017 - 7:45AM
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE:HPE) today announced the
industry’s first artificial intelligence (AI) recommendation engine
designed to simplify and reduce the guesswork in managing
infrastructure and improve application reliability. HPE InfoSight
is an industry-leading predictive analytics platform that brings
software-defined intelligence to the data center with the ability
to predict and prevent infrastructure problems before they happen.
Leveraging advanced machine learning, the new capabilities
for HPE InfoSight pave the path toward an autonomous data center.
HPE also announced the first release of HPE InfoSight for HPE 3PAR,
setting in motion the promise to extend machine learning across the
HPE storage and server portfolio.
Businesses today cannot afford any disruptions or delays to
their applications. But the complexity of infrastructure causes an
“App-Data Gap” that impacts businesses and wastes time. HPE is
working to minimize disruptions and lost time through the AI and
predictive analytics capabilities of HPE InfoSight, reducing the
time spent troubleshooting issues by up to 85%1.
Every second, HPE InfoSight analyzes millions of sensors across
the globally connected installed base and uses this data to predict
and prevent problems from storage to applications. HPE InfoSight
ensures reliable performance and application uptime, helping to
deliver greater than 99.9999% of guaranteed availability.
“HPE InfoSight marks the first time a major storage vendor has
been able to predict issues and proactively resolve them before a
customer is even aware of the problem,” said Bill Philbin, Senior
Vice President, HPE GM Storage. “As applications increasingly drive
today’s businesses, we need to help customers move toward a
self-managing IT model. HPE InfoSight enables IT to spend more time
on projects that add value to the business rather than on
troubleshooting issues.”
The next step toward an autonomous data
centerHPE InfoSight lays the groundwork for an autonomous
data center with the new AI recommendation engine. Building on its
predictive capabilities, HPE InfoSight now preemptively advises IT
how to avoid issues, improve performance, and optimize available
resources. The recommendations are based on advanced machine
learning that leverages almost a decade of data science expertise
and rich telemetry collected from more than 10,000 HPE Nimble
Storage customers. HPE InfoSight continuously learns, making
customers’ systems smarter and more reliable. Third-party research
has recently shown that HPE InfoSight lowers storage IT OpEx by
79%.
“InfoSight's predictive analytics have saved us from
potentially impactful issues,” said Justin Giardina, CTO, iland
Secure Cloud. “And the new recommendation engine is phenomenal
as it’s making proactive decisions, showing us how we can improve
our environment. iland provides 100% availability to our
customers, and InfoSight is a huge part in making that happen.”
Bringing the power of predictive to 3PAR HPE
has demonstrated the unique capabilities of HPE InfoSight in HPE
Nimble Storage environments, where today 86% of issues are resolved
automatically before the customer knows a problem exists. By
extending HPE InfoSight to 3PAR, both HPE Nimble Storage and 3PAR
customers can now realize the significant benefits of HPE
InfoSight.
This first release of HPE InfoSight for 3PAR makes available the
following capabilities:
- Cross-stack analytics. For 3PAR customers
running the latest release of the 3PAR operating system2, HPE
InfoSight will also provide IT the ability to resolve performance
problems and pinpoint the root cause of issues between the storage
and host virtual machines (VMs). It also provides visibility to
locate “noisy neighbor” VMs.
- Global visibility. Through a new cloud portal
that combines HPE Infosight and HPE StoreFront Remote, all current
3PAR customers with systems that are remotely connected will see
detailed performance trending, capacity predictions, health checks
and best practice information across all of their 3PAR arrays.
- Foundation to enable predictive support.
Analytics and automation infrastructure are now in place that in
the future will be used to detect anomalies, predict complex
problems, and route cases directly to Level 3 support.
“None of HPE’s competitors have the predictive capabilities of
InfoSight,” said Morten Nyhuus-Eriksen, Global Head of Storage
& Backup, Basefarm. “The cross-stack analytics will save my
team tremendous time troubleshooting our complex environment.
InfoSight for 3PAR is going to make a big impact for our business
and theirs.”
