This week Brian takes us on an HPE GreenLake deep dive with Omer Asad. Omer is SVP & GM of the $1.4 Billion Data Storage, Data Services SaaS, and HyperConverged business at HPE Storage and is responsible for Engineering, Product Management, and Operations for all Data and SaaS services in Storage and Data Infrastructure platforms.

A key component of GreenLake is the Alletra product portfolio. HPE Alletra delivers agility and simplicity for every application from edge to cloud and can be provided as a service, or a fully managed turnkey offering, all with the right mix of subscription and usage-based services. Recently, we ran a piece on the Alletra 5000, the latest in the Alletra portfolio.

Prior to becoming a member of the HPE Storage team, Omer was SVP & GM at Nimble Storage, acquired by HPE in 2017. Omer has also led teams at Pure Storage and Riverbed Technology. To say he has a deep technical understanding of customer challenges would be an understatement. In addition to storage, Omer is well versed in cloud and edge solutions.
