Secure, resilient, and mission-ready 

Federal IT leaders trust Paragon Micro because we combine deep expertise in government technology requirements with the ability to deliver HPE’s most advanced storage solutions. Our team understands the mission-driven urgency behind every workload, whether it’s intelligence data, telehealth systems, or cyber defense operations, and we tailor each solution to meet strict compliance, resiliency, and security mandates.  

From initial design to deployment and lifecycle support, Paragon Micro acts as a strategic partner, helping agencies modernize infrastructure, simplify operations, and maximize the value of their HPE investments. That’s why agencies across the federal landscape choose Paragon Micro as their storage partner of record. 

“From design to deployment, Paragon Micro ensures federal agencies get more from their HPE storage investments—streamlined operations, stronger compliance, and zero compromise.” Andy Heikes, Federal Solutions Architect, Paragon Micro 

HPE’s storage portfolio centers on: 

  • HPE Alletra systems: Scale-out block and file storage with a 100% data availability guarantee. 
  • HPE GreenLake cloud services: A unified platform for provisioning, monitoring, and managing storage across environments. 
  • Integrated data protection: Continuous resilience against cyberattacks and outages. 

With HPE InfoSight AI, agencies gain predictive analytics and proactive recommendations. InfoSight analyzes global telemetry to prevent issues before they disrupt operations, reducing downtime and helping small federal teams manage large, complex estates. 

Storage as a Service 

HPE GreenLake for Block Storage delivers cloud operations for on-premises arrays: 

  • Self-service provisioning and elastic scaling. 
  • Pay-per-use consumption with guaranteed service levels. 
  • Unified control across on-prem and public cloud for hybrid operations. 

GreenLake centralizes fleet management through the Data Services Cloud Console, with analytics and NVMe scaling for high-performance workloads. 

HPE also provides native, controller-based encryption across Alletra systems, meeting strict federal confidentiality requirements without sacrificing performance. 

Cyber Resilience and Recovery 

Federal missions must withstand ransomware and destructive attacks. HPE strengthens cyber resilience with: 

  • HPE Zerto: Continuous data protection and near-zero recovery points, with anomaly detection to flag ransomware early. 
  • HPE GreenLake Backup and Recovery: Policy-driven protection, immutability, and global dedupe/compression to reduce costs and meet retention requirements. 

Together, these create a defense-in-depth strategy: prevention, containment, and rapid recovery. 

Designed for Federal IT Reality 

  • Hybrid by default: Alletra and GreenLake simplify management across on-prem, cloud, and air-gapped environments. Non-disruptive migrations modernize legacy systems without downtime. 
  • Multi-classification support: Policy-based provisioning and tenant isolation secure data by classification level while maintaining centralized administration. 
  • Automation at scale: InfoSight reduces manual tuning and troubleshooting with proactive recommendations. 
  • Efficiency: ENERGY STAR-certified Alletra MP configurations reduce costs and support sustainability goals. 

A Federal Reference Architecture 

Most agencies adopt a common pattern: 

  1. Primary storage on HPE Alletra (MP/9000) for mission-critical databases and analytics, with guaranteed uptime. 
  1. Provisioning through HPE GreenLake, enabling API-driven workflows, capacity scaling, and compliance checkpoints. 
  1. Data protection with HPE Zerto for rapid ransomware recovery, paired with GreenLake Backup and Recovery for long-term retention and immutability. 
  1. Continuous compliance aligned to NIST 800-53, with encryption, access control, and audit reporting integrated with agency systems. 

What It Means for Federal Leaders 

For mission owners, the value is clear: 

  • Cloud experience everywhere without losing control or compliance. 
  • Resilience against cyber threats with continuous protection and rapid recovery. 
  • Predictable funding with consumption-based pricing and transparent usage data. 
  • Operational focus: Agencies can spend less time managing infrastructure and more time delivering mission outcomes. 

Bottom Line 

If your agency needs to modernize storage without sacrificing control, HPE Alletra, HPE GreenLake, and integrated data protection offer a proven path forward, aligned with federal standards, designed for hybrid operations, and built for nonstop missions. With Paragon Micro acting as a strategic partner, helping agencies modernize infrastructure, simplify operations, and maximize the value of their HPE investments.
