A multinational enterprise deployed the Q8B37A-HPE NS CS1000H Hybrid Base Array to support 5,000 remote VDI users. By leveraging its NVMe caching and high-density HDD tiers, IT cut desktop boot times by 60% and achieved sub-millisecond I/O latency. Outcome: Enhanced end-user productivity, simplified Storage management, and a scalable platform to onboard 2,000 additional remote employees without performance bottlenecks.
A financial services firm implemented the Q8B37A-HPE NS CS1000H Hybrid Base Array as an on-prem repository for critical application snapshots and backups. With built-in snapshot orchestration and space-efficient deduplication, RPOs were reduced from 4 hours to 15 minutes and RTOs from 8 hours to under 1 hour. Benefit: Assured regulatory compliance, minimized data loss exposure, and rapid service restoration in case of outage.
A retail chain integrated the Q8B37A-HPE NS CS1000H Hybrid Base Array to accelerate its point-of-sale and inventory analytics platform handling 50TB of daily transactions. The hybrid architecture delivered consistent 200K IOPS and sustained throughput of 5 GB/s, enabling sub-second query responses. Outcome: Data-driven pricing decisions, optimized stock levels, and a 20% uplift in same-store sales through instant insights.

Hybrid base array installed without issues.
Balanced performance for mixed workloads.
Stable operation in production.
Good starting point for hybrid deployments.
Met capacity and performance needs.
The CS1000H delivers a hybrid architecture combining flash and HDD tiers, adaptive caching, inline deduplication and compression, scale-up and scale-out expansion, and integrated HPE InfoSight AI-driven management.
The base array accommodates up to 12 drives for a raw capacity of 336 TB and, with additional CS-Series expansion shelves, can scale to multiple petabytes of effective capacity.
Hot data is automatically cached on SSDs for sub-millisecond response times while less-frequent data resides on HDDs, optimizing performance per dollar through tiered storage.
Standard 10 GbE iSCSI connectivity and optional 16/32 Gb Fibre Channel or 25 GbE iSCSI/FCoE provide flexible integration with SAN and LAN environments.
