In a multinational enterprise, IT architects deploy the Q9D43A-HPE Storage File Controller to unify on-premises and public cloud file repositories. Automated tiering policies dynamically migrate cold data to AWS S3 or Azure Blob Storage, while hot files remain on ultra-low-latency flash. Benefit: achieves up to 40% lower storage TCO and delivers consistent sub-millisecond file access for global teams.
Data science groups ingest and process petabyte-scale unstructured datasets via NFS and SMB shares provisioned on the Q9D43A-HPE Storage File Controller. High-efficiency caching and parallel I/O deliver sustained multi-GB/s throughput, reducing model training times by over 50%. Benefit: enables rapid experimentation, shorter data-to-insight cycles, and scalable performance for AI/ML workloads.
Enterprise backup administrators leverage the Q9D43A-HPE Storage File Controller to consolidate file share backups and orchestrate disaster-recovery replication to a secondary data center or cloud vault. Native snapshots and WAN-optimized replication ensure sub-15-minute RPO and 99.999% availability. Benefit: simplifies DR workflows, reduces recovery costs by 30%, and strengthens business continuity.
