The speed and agility of a cloud operational experience everywhere holds the key to removing complexity. Public
cloud has set the standard for agility with a cloud operational model that enables the line of business (LOB) owners
and developers to build and deploy new applications, services, and projects faster than before. This renders underlying
infrastructure invisible, enabling a shift to app-centric operations.
Now, extending that idea further, organizations are seeking to bring the benefits of the cloud operational experience to
wherever their data and app workloads live, from edge to on-premises to colocation. The challenge is that the ability to
provide a cloud operational experience everywhere has been limited to date.
For starters, managed services come at a premium. Customized, managed service offerings are the right fit for
large-scale customer deployments—but they come at a higher cost. Moreover, most storage-as-a-service (STaaS)
offerings, which typically commit to four-nines availability, are not suitable for mission-critical applications that require
six-nines or even 100% availability.
Finally, current on-premises STaaS vendors don't deliver self-service agility. They've introduced pay-as-you-go
consumption, which is fine as far as it goes, but customers must still deal with a traditional storage management
experience, including the need for storage domain expertise around Day 2 operations and beyond.
This is why HPE provides solutions such as STaaS that can help you succeed as a data-first business.
