About the HPE Alletra dHCI Small 2-Node Solution
The HPE Alletra dHCI Small 2-Node Solution delivers enterprise-grade NVMe performance through a disaggregated hyperconverged architecture that decouples compute and storage scaling. This solution combines HPE compute nodes with an HPE Alletra 6000 all-NVMe storage array, enabling storage architects and IT infrastructure teams to deploy a flexible, scalable platform without the constraints of tightly integrated systems. The 2-node configuration supports VMware vSphere environments with native VMware vCenter integration, allowing administrators to manage storage policy through Storage Policy-Based Management (SPBM) and leverage VMware-native data services including snapshots, thin provisioning, deduplication, and compression.
Built on iSCSI Ethernet-based storage fabric, the HPE Alletra dHCI Small (part number R9K18A) incorporates HPE Data Services Cloud Console (DSCC) for centralized management and HPE InfoSight AI-driven predictive analytics for proactive support and optimization. The disaggregated architecture enables independent scaling of compute and storage capacity as workload demands evolve, eliminating over-provisioning waste. Hybrid cloud management is available through the HPE GreenLake cloud platform, providing unified visibility across edge, ROBO, and datacenter deployments. The rack-mountable form factor integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructure. Contact Omnixon Global for an RFQ to explore how this solution fits your enterprise storage roadmap.
Ideal Deployment Scenarios
- Enterprise edge locations requiring independent compute and storage scaling without full datacenter footprint
- Remote office and branch office (ROBO) environments where VMware vSphere integration and native hypervisor management are prerequisites
- Secondary datacenter deployments needing synchronous replication and snapshot-based data protection
- Small enterprise core infrastructure where all-NVMe performance and deduplication reduce storage spend while maintaining SLA commitments
- Hybrid cloud environments leveraging HPE GreenLake for unified management across multiple locations
