HPE Named a Leader in 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise Storage Platforms

In this article:

  • HPE Alletra Storage MP unifies block, file, and object storage on a single disaggregated, scale-out architecture, delivered with an agentic AI-driven cloud operational experience through GreenLake

  • HPE is shaping the future of enterprise data with a unified data platform built on high-performance, scalable storage, integrated cyber resilience, and enterprise-class data protection

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–HPE (NYSE: HPE) today announced it was named a Leader for the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ and recognized in the Critical Capabilitiesfor Enterprise Storage Platforms (ESP).

“We believe this recognition by Gartner reflects both the consistency of our execution and the strength of our vision for enterprise data. As AI reshapes the enterprise, customers need more than a place to store data,” said Jim O’Dorisio, SVP & GM for storage, HPE. “With our intelligent data fabric, disaggregated HPE Alletra Storage MP architecture, and agentic AI-driven cloud operations, HPE is transforming how enterprises manage, govern, protect, and activate data across hybrid environments, creating the intelligent foundation customers need to accelerate AI and time to value.”

HPE delivers innovation across storage and data protection portfolio

Consistent with this strategy, HPE is shaping the future of enterprise data with a unified data platform built on high-performance, scalable storage, AI-driven cloud management, integrated cyber resilience, enterprise-class data protection, and industry-leading availability and data services backed by outcome-focused service-level agreements, all delivered through GreenLake. Built on a disaggregated architecture, HPE Alletra Storage MP delivers block, file, and object storage in a unified platform that scales efficiently as capacity and performance needs grow. Recent innovations include:

  • Intelligent, AI-ready storage for unstructured data and AI: HPEAlletra Storage MP X10000 combines object storage with native file services, doubled performance and scale, in-line metadata enrichment and RDMA acceleration for AI inference workloads, making the X10000 an intelligent platform for AI pipelines, analytics, active data lakes, and data protection. Also, earlier this year, the X10000 became the first object storage platform to achieve NVIDIA-Certified Storage validation. HPE Data Fabric Software extends this with a unified data layer for edge-to-cloud data access, governance, and orchestration.
  • Superior flexibility and economics with unified block and file storage: HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is the industry’s first disaggregated, scale-out unified block and file storage platform on a single operating system and architecture. It now scales non-disruptively from two to six controller nodes, with the flexibility to add one node at a time, delivering up to 50 percent higher performance with built-in dual-node fault tolerance. Unlike architectures that require disruptive upgrades to grow, customers expand performance and capacity independently, without downtime or data loss.
  • AI-driven, autonomous operations: HPE recently introduced real-time, agentic AI-driven support for the B10000 that autonomously detects, analyzes, and resolves infrastructure issues, moving beyond signature-based predictive analytics to semantic understanding and prescriptive intelligence, built on more than a decade of AIOps learning across HPE’s global installed base.

“The scalability, security, and flexibility of the platform allow us to keep pace with our rapidly evolving healthcare environment without adding complexity for our infrastructure team, so we can stay focused on supporting exceptional patient care,” said Bryan Nelson, Director of IT Operations, Brooks Rehabilitation. “With HPE Alletra Storage MP at the core of our infrastructure, we’ve achieved a 4:1 space savings through deduplication and compression while supporting the addition of a hospital and more than 20 clinics in the past two years.”

“Our infrastructure is now built to keep the business running, protect critical data and scale as our needs grow,” said Alexandre Wenderlich, CIO, Hennings Group. “HPE’s technology enables us to recover data in minutes or hours instead of days, significantly improving business continuity, and as we grow, we can expand the environment without having to rip and replace our infrastructure.”

Kaplan Fox Alerts ZoomInfo Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: GTM) Investors Who Suffered Losses to a Securities Class Action – Deadline is August 24, 2026

NEW YORK, Aug. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against ZoomInfo Technologies Inc. (“ZoomInfo” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: GTM) on behalf of investors that purchased or otherwise acquired ZoomInfo securities between November 3, 2025 and May 11, 2026 (the “Class Period”).

DEADLINE REMINDER: If you are a member of the proposed Class, you may move the court no later than August 24, 2026 to serve as a lead plaintiff for the purported class. If you have losses we encourage you to contact us to learn more about the lead plaintiff process. You need not seek to become a lead plaintiff in order to share in any possible recovery.

On May 11, 2026, after the market closed, ZoomInfo reported its first quarter 2026 financial results. The Company reduced its 2026 revenue guidance from a range of $1.247 – $1.267 billion to $1.185 – $1.205 billion. During the subsequent earnings call, Chief Executive Officer Henry Schuck stated that “[i]n the closing days of March and into April, [the Company] saw a trend of AI and agentic confusion,” which led to “a pause in purchasing decisions.” According to the complaint, the Company also announced restructuring costs of $45 million to $60 million and that it would be laying off 20% of its workforce.

Following this news, on May 12, 2026, the price of ZoomInfo stock fell $1.98 per share, nearly 33%, to close at $4.06 per share.

The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period Defendants created the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to the Company’s projected revenue outlook and anticipated growth of its legacy and emerging AI-driven products, core software business and sustained improvement in net revenue retention. Further, the complaint alleges that, in truth, ZoomInfo’s optimistic plan for continued growth was undermined by slowing seat-based demand, weakening upsells and customers revising decisions to purchase AI products and develop internal AI-driven go-to-market solutions, making ZoomInfo’s 2026 full year revenue guidance increasingly unlikely to be met.

Solana Company Announces Positions and Votes on first Solana Governance Proposals

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Solana Company (NASDAQ: HSDT), a listed digital asset treasury company and operator of institutional Solana validator infrastructure across Asia-Pacific, today announced its positions on the first three Solana Governance Proposals (SGPs) ahead of on-chain voting expected to open on 22 August 2026:

  • FOR — SGP-0001, The Solana Constitution
  • AGAINST — SGP-0002, Double Disinflation Rate
  • AGAINST — SGP-0003, Resource and Inclusion Fee

Solana Company supports the new Solana governance system. By giving every staking participant a transparent, stake-weighted vote — and by guaranteeing that the underlying holder can always override the vote of its operator — it provides neutral infrastructure through which institutions can participate directly in the decisions that shape the network. That participation will strengthen Solana’s position as global financial infrastructure, and ratifying the Constitution (SGP-0001) is the right first step.

The Company will vote against SGP-0002 and SGP-0003 on grounds of timing, not intent. Both proposals pursue reasonable long-term goals — lower issuance and fees that better reflect network resources. However, this is a critical moment for institutional adoption of Solana, and capital markets place heavy emphasis on maintaining consistent rules.

In the Company’s conversations with institutions, the level of issuance is rarely cited as an obstacle; more commonly, its uncertainty over whether the network’s economics can be relied on over a multi-year horizon. Repricing the network’s two most stable economic parameters in the governance process’s first live cycle risks delaying institutions that are currently evaluating participation in validator operations and staking.

On SGP-0002: Solana’s terminal inflation rate of 1.5% is already fixed, and the existing schedule already reaches it. The Company’s objection is not to lower issuance as an end state, but rather to reopening the settled, deterministic schedule. Staking yield is a reported financial line item — forecast, disclosed and audited — and for many holders it is operating cash flow. The Company would support a renewed disinflation discussion once there is evidence of sustained net inflow into SOL.

On SGP-0003: the Company agrees that a flat fee mismatches cost to network load, but today’s fee is a known constant that financial institutions using Solana can budget in advance. Making transaction cost variable before the ecosystem has adapted transfers estimation risk to users and operators. The Company would revisit its position on a revised design that preserves a deterministic fee floor.

“We strongly believe that institutional adoption is a critical driver of Solana’s growth, and institutions make decisions based on consistent, predictable structures. The positions we have outlined today are in support of furthering institutional adoption and we look forward to collaborating further with the industry to jointly shape the Solana network. Solana Company fully supports the SGP as an important foundation to attract more institutional participation in the growth and governance of the network.” — Joseph Chee, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Solana Company

The Company states its voting positions openly and in advance so that delegators can exercise their own vote with full knowledge of their operator’s position.

About Solana Company

Solana Company (Nasdaq: HSDT) is a publicly listed digital asset treasury and infrastructure company purpose-built to maximize SOL per share. The company combines active treasury management, institutional-grade staking and validator operations with bespoke advisory services for financial institutions navigating blockchain adoption. Solana Company executes a self-reinforcing flywheel designed to compound value with every turn. The company’s mission is to put more SOL behind every share, bridging public capital markets with the most commercially viable blockchain for institutions and financial applications.

HDB Investors Have Opportunity to Lead HDFC Bank Limited Securities Fraud Lawsuit with SBS Law

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Schall, Brown & Schwartz LLP (“SBS”), a national shareholder rights litigation firm, reminds investors of a class action lawsuit against HDFC Bank Limited (“HDFC” or “the Company”) (NYSE: HDB) for violations of §§10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Shareholders who purchased shares of HDB during the class period listed are encouraged to contact the firm regarding possible lead plaintiff appointments. Appointment as lead plaintiff is not required to partake in any recovery.

CASE DETAILS: According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. HDFC disguised payments as marketing costs to hide higher interest for state-controlled firms. Senior management was aware of these activities and approved them even though they likely violated policies and regulations. Based on these facts, the Company’s public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about HDFC, investors suffered damages.
