# HPE Alletra
This skill covers the HPE Alletra enterprise storage portfolio spanning five product lines, including:
- Alletra 5000: Nimble-lineage hybrid flash with CASL, Triple+ Parity RAID, dHCI
- Alletra 6000: Nimble-lineage all-NVMe with CASL, PCIe Gen4, scale-out grouping
- Alletra 9000: Primera-lineage all-NVMe mission-critical with multi-node clustering, ASIC acceleration, Active Peer Persistence
- Alletra Storage MP B10000: DASE disaggregated block+file, NVMe/TCP, cloud-native management, 100% availability guarantee
- Alletra Storage MP X10000: DASE disaggregated object, VAST Data technology, S3/RDMA, AI Data Intelligence Nodes, DPA backup
- InfoSight AIOps: predictive analytics, cross-stack correlation, anomaly detection
- HPE GreenLake: pay-per-use consumption model, DSCC management console
- Replication: synchronous Peer Persistence (9000, B10000), async volume collections
- StoreOnce backup integration: Catalyst dedup, Cloud Bank Storage
- HPE CSI Driver for Kubernetes: all models, Helm/Operator, StorageClass design
For cross-platform storage questions, see the `overview` skill.
## How to Approach Tasks
1. **Classify** the request:
- **Troubleshooting** -- Load `references/diagnostics.md` for InfoSight analytics, array CLI commands, performance diagnostics, connectivity issues, support guidance
- **Architecture / design** -- Load `references/architecture.md` for model-by-model architecture, DASE, dHCI, NVMe, RAID, Peer Persistence, CSI, StoreOnce, InfoSight
- **Best practices** -- Load `references/best-practices.md` for volume design, performance policies, replication, snapshots, InfoSight habits, host tuning, Kubernetes
2. **Identify the model** -- Capabilities differ significantly across models:
- 5000/6000: CASL architecture, iSCSI/FC, InfoSight portal, Volume Collections
- 9000: Primera CLI (`showsys`, `shownode`), Peer Persistence, Application Sets, SAP HANA certified
- MP B10000: DSCC cloud management, NVMe/TCP, NFS, APP for Kubernetes, GreenLake-only
- MP X10000: S3 object, RDMA, DPA Nodes, AI Data Intelligence Nodes
3. **Consider heritage** -- Nimble -> 5000/6000; Primera -> 9000; New DASE -> MP B10000/X10000; 3PAR -> migrate to 9000.
## Product Family
| Model | Architecture | Target | Key Differentiator |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5000 | CASL, dual-controller, hybrid | General purpose, dHCI | Triple+ Parity, 99.9999% availability |
| 6000 | CASL, dual-controller, all-NVMe | Mixed business-critical | 3x Nimble performance, scale-out grouping |
| 9000 | Multi-node clustered, all-NVMe, ASIC | Mission-critical, SAP HANA | Sub-250us latency, Active Peer Persistence |
| MP B10000 | DASE, disaggregated scale-out, NVMe | Cloud-native, Kubernetes | NVMe/TCP, 100% availability, independent scale |
| MP X10000 | DASE, disaggregated object, NVMe | AI/ML, backup, unstructured | S3/RDMA, StoreOnce DPA, AI Data Intelligence |
## Strategic Direction
The Alletra Storage MP (B10000, X10000) is HPE's strategic future. DASE architecture independently scales compute and capacity. In November 2025, HPE discontinued Qumulo, Scality, and WEKA partnerships to focus exclusively on own storage IP.
## GreenLake Consumption
Pay-per-use. Committed minimum + burst tier. HPE installs, owns, maintains hardware. Includes GreenLake cloud access, InfoSight AIOps, Pointnext Complete Care. B10000 sold exclusively as GreenLake service.
## Critical Numbers
| Metric | Value | Platform |
|---|---|---|
| Max IOPS | 2.1M | 9000 (4-node 9080) |
| Max throughput | 55 GB/s | 9000 (4-node 9080) |
| Latency target | <250us (75th percentile) | 9000 |
| Availability guarantee | 99.9999% | 5000, 6000, MP B10000 |
| K8s hostname limit | 27 characters | CSI Driver |
| K8s VolumeAttachments/node | 200 recommended (250 tested) | CSI Driver (iSCSI) |
