HPE Expands Storage Guarantees for B10000 with Industry-First SLAs for Cyber Resilience, Zero Data Loss, and Energy Efficiency

The News

Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE) has announced a significant expansion to its Storage Future-Ready Program for the HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 system, introducing new outcome-driven SLAs for cyber resiliency, energy efficiency, and zero data loss or downtime. These guarantees complement commitments such as 100% data availability, StoreMore data reduction, and non-disruptive controller upgrades.

Analysis

Modern enterprises need storage platforms that deliver reliability, efficiency, and sustainability, backed by contractual guarantees. HPE’s expanded SLAs for the B10000 help customers mitigate risk, lower environmental impact, and ensure operational continuity. According to industry experts, organizations with outcome-backed infrastructure contracts report 50% fewer unplanned outages and 35% faster recovery times. With B10000, HPE provides not just technology, but trusted outcomes.

Redefining Enterprise Storage Around IT Outcomes

Today’s enterprise storage buyers are not simply purchasing performance—they’re seeking outcomes. HPE is responding by building assurance into its platform, giving customers confidence that their infrastructure investments deliver resilience, efficiency, and availability. According to industry analysts, outcome-based SLAs will be a defining differentiator in 70% of storage procurements by 2027.

The new guarantees bring measurable value:

  • Cyber Resiliency SLA: Access to recovery experts within 30 minutes of a ransomware incident, and immutability guarantees for all snapshots.
  • Energy Consumption SLA: Commitments that B10000 energy use will remain under a monthly threshold, with compensation if exceeded.
  • Zero RTO/RPO SLA: Guaranteed data continuity through built-in synchronous replication and active-active peer persistence across sites.

Defending Against Ransomware with Built-In Cyber Resilience

As ransomware continues to evolve, organizations need rapid detection, isolation, and recovery. The B10000 offers:

  • Anomaly detection for malicious encryption patterns
  • Tamper-proof, immutable snapshots
  • Snapshot candidate selection based on anomaly timestamps
  • Fast access to HPE recovery services experts

This aligns with analysts’ recommendations that enterprises reduce ransomware recovery windows from days to hours—a metric the B10000 is now contractually backing.

Sustainable Infrastructure Is Now a Business Imperative

With data centers contributing to nearly 3.5% of global emissions, energy-efficient storage is no longer optional. The B10000 helps reduce:

  • Energy consumption by up to 45%
  • Storage footprint by 30%
  • Total cost of ownership by 40%

HPE’s new Energy Consumption Guarantee provides transparency and predictability, enabling organizations to plan against a capped monthly energy budget. Customers gain access to visibility tools like the HPE Sustainability Insight Center and the Data Services Cloud Console for proactive optimization.

Active Peer Persistence Enables Zero RPO/RTO—Now with a Guarantee

The new Zero RTO/RPO Guarantee covers application continuity through:

  • Synchronous replication across sites
  • Automatic failover without additional integration
  • Compensation if application access is interrupted

With 24/7 operations being mission-critical across sectors like finance, healthcare, and retail, this SLA provides next-level assurance for disaster recovery.

Looking Ahead

HPE sets a new bar for storage vendors by making outcome-based SLAs a cornerstone of its go-to-market model. These guarantees shift the conversation from capabilities to confidence and position B10000 as the most resilient and sustainable enterprise storage platform on the market.

Expect further expansion of the Storage Future-Ready Program, possibly extending to container-native workloads, AI pipelines, and GreenLake-as-a-service deployments.
