In addition to new SMB-focused server, storage, networking and hyper-converged product, HPE has brought their Consume IT OPEX pricing model from the enterprise to SMBs as well.
HPE also announces a replacement for its mid-range 3PAR 8450 all-flash array, a Nimble secondary flash array and both new and enhanced storage software.
HPE’s strategy with its new offerings is to offer strong featured hybrid-flash and software-defined offerings to the entry level at a sub-$10k price where they haven’t played before.
