The HPE StoreEasy 1650 can now support 10TB drive bundles to scale up to 280TB of internal capacity.

As for HPE's Flex products, the company has refreshed its Flex portfolio for the Microsoft SQL Server.
On the server side, HPE is expanding its ProLiant Easy Connect portfolio, which offers SMBs integrated compute, storage, and networking, together with virtualization and cloud management software.
