HPE Adds More Automation, Predictive Intelligence to 3PAR Storage

Artificial intelligence seems to be embedded in every enterprise app here in mid-2018. Now even the normally serene and relatively docile data storage sector is getting more smarts inserted into things like arrays, virtual machines and controllers. Hewlett Packard Enterprise on July 24 announced that it is adding new intelligence into its 3PAR data center storage lineup, so that the machines ostensibly can optimize themselves for higher application availability, among other things. HPE InfoSight is a cloud-based AI platform built on a new approach to data collection and analysis; it predicts and automates resolution to problems and is continuously remembering processes to make HPE storage hardware smarter and more reliable.
