HPE Alletra 9080 Enterprise All-Flash Array — High-Cache Mission-Critical Storage

3 TiB Cache · Over 2 Million IOPS · 100% Availability — Maximum-Performance Enterprise NVMe

The HPE Alletra 9080 is the high-cache variant of the Alletra 9000 mission-critical all-flash family. Its 3072 GiB of cache memory — 3× that of the 9060 — is purpose-built for workloads with large active data sets, high write intensity, or multiple concurrent enterprise applications sharing a single storage platform.

  • Over 2 million IOPS (8KiB random, All-NVMe, 4U)
  • 75% of I/O within 250μs latency
  • 3,072 GiB controller cache — 3× the Alletra 9060
  • 1966 TiB raw / 6103 TiB effective capacity
  • 100% availability guarantee — standard benefit
  • RPO zero + RTO zero via Active Peer Persistence
  • RAID 6 (10+2) multi-drive failure protection
  • Non-disruptive controller upgrades — no forklift replacements

Key Features

Everything you need in one device

💾

3 TiB Controller Cache

3072 GiB of cache memory — ideal for workloads with large hot datasets, high write intensity, and consolidated multi-application environments needing extreme I/O responsiveness.

All-NVMe 2M+ IOPS

Over 2 million IOPS in 4U using All-NVMe drives — the same raw throughput as the 9060 but with significantly greater in-memory active data headroom.

⏱️

Sub-250μs Consistent Latency

75% of all I/O completes within 250 microseconds, ensuring consistent application response times across mixed workload environments.

🛡️

100% Availability Guarantee

Enterprise availability guarantee backed by redundant hardware, RAID 6 (10+2) data protection, and Active Peer Persistence synchronous replication.

🔄

Zero-RPO / Zero-RTO DR

Active Peer Persistence synchronous replication between two Alletra 9080 arrays provides transparent site failover with zero data loss.

📈

Scale to 144 Drives

Scales from initial deployment to 144 NVMe drives across four HPE Alletra 2240 drive enclosures, growing raw capacity to 1966 TiB.

☁️

GreenLake Cloud Management

Managed via HPE Data Services Cloud Console with AI-driven provisioning, performance recommendations, and predictive issue prevention.

🔃

Non-Disruptive Upgrades

Non-disruptive, data-in-place controller upgrades and flat support pricing protect investment across the entire product lifecycle.

About the HPE Alletra 9080

The HPE Alletra 9080 is the high-cache flagship model in HPE's Alletra 9000 mission-critical product family. Where the 9060 ships with 1024 GiB of cache, the 9080 provides 3072 GiB — three times the cache capacity in the same physical footprint. This distinction matters most for organisations running consolidated enterprise workloads: large Oracle databases with active working sets exceeding what the 9060's cache can hold, high-frequency financial trading applications, or multiple tier-1 applications sharing a common storage platform.

Both the 9060 and 9080 achieve over 2 million IOPS from All-NVMe drives in a 4U chassis, and both guarantee 75% of I/O within 250 microseconds. The 9080's larger cache ensures that this performance level is sustained across a broader range of access patterns and working set sizes — reducing cache miss rates that would otherwise result in reads falling through to underlying NVMe storage and introducing latency variability.

Like the 9060, the 9080 supports configuration as a 2-node or 4-node all-active system. All nodes participate in serving I/O simultaneously — there are no standby or passive nodes. Active Peer Persistence provides synchronous replication with RPO zero and RTO zero between two Alletra 9080 arrays at geographically separated sites, supporting transparent failover without any application-visible interruption.

The Alletra 9080 is managed through HPE Data Services Cloud Console and HPE GreenLake — providing AI-driven insights, automated provisioning, and a SaaS-based user experience accessible from any device. Non-disruptive controller upgrades, flat support pricing, and flexible GreenLake consumption options ensure the platform remains economically viable across its entire operational lifecycle.

Use Cases

Ideal for a wide range of deployments

🗄️

Large Oracle Databases

The 3 TiB cache keeps more of a large Oracle OLTP database's active working set in memory, reducing cache misses and sustaining sub-250μs response times at peak load.

💹

Financial & Trading Systems

High-frequency trading and real-time risk platforms demand consistent ultra-low latency across large, rapidly shifting hot data sets — exactly where the 9080's cache advantage is most measurable.

🖥️

Consolidated Enterprise Storage

Consolidate multiple tier-1 applications — databases, virtual infrastructure, analytics — onto a single high-cache platform without any workload competing for limited cache headroom.

🔄

Zero-Downtime Business Continuity

Active Peer Persistence synchronous replication between two 9080 systems provides zero-RPO/zero-RTO failover for the most critical enterprise applications.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is the difference between the HPE Alletra 9060 and 9080?

The primary difference is cache memory: the 9060 provides 1024 GiB and the 9080 provides 3072 GiB. Both deliver 2M+ IOPS and 250μs latency from the same NVMe drive architecture, but the 9080's 3× larger cache sustains this performance across larger active data sets and more demanding consolidated workload environments.

Q. What cache size does the HPE Alletra 9080 have?

The HPE Alletra 9080 has 3072 GiB (3 TiB) of controller cache memory — three times the cache of the 9060's 1024 GiB.

Q. Can both Alletra 9060 and 9080 use Active Peer Persistence?

Yes — Active Peer Persistence is available on both the Alletra 9060 and 9080. It provides synchronous replication with RPO zero and transparent failover with RTO zero between two arrays at separate data centre sites.

Q. Can I buy the HPE Alletra 9080 from Servnet?

Yes — Servnet is an authorised HPE reseller in the UK. Contact sales@servnetuk.com for a full Alletra 9080 configuration quote with drives, networking, expansion shelves, and GreenLake support.
