Product & service range
9 ranges supplied and supported by Metro-Sol.
ProLiant Servers
HPE ProLiant servers form the backbone of HPE's compute portfolio, available in rack, tower and dense form factors to suit workloads from small-office file and application serving through to large-scale virtualisation and databases. Built with embedded management tools for remote monitoring and firmware updates, ProLiant servers are designed to minimise downtime and simplify IT administration. They are a standard choice for businesses building or refreshing on-premises server infrastructure.
Storage
HPE's enterprise storage range, including the Alletra family, provides shared storage platforms for structured and unstructured data, block and file workloads, and hybrid cloud environments. These systems are built for scalability and data services such as snapshots and replication, allowing businesses to grow capacity without disrupting operations. They suit organisations consolidating storage for virtualised workloads, databases or shared file access.
Back-up
HPE StoreOnce backup appliances provide disk-based backup targets with built-in deduplication, reducing the storage footprint and time needed to protect business data. They integrate with common backup software to support scheduled backups, replication between sites, and fast recovery of files or systems after data loss. This makes them a core component of a business's data protection strategy alongside its primary storage.
Disaster Recovery
HPE's disaster recovery capabilities extend its storage and backup platforms with replication between sites and orchestrated failover tools, allowing critical systems and data to be restored quickly after an outage or disaster. These solutions are designed to reduce recovery time and data loss for business-critical applications, supporting recovery point and recovery time objectives that suit each organisation's risk tolerance. They are typically deployed alongside primary storage and backup infrastructure rather than as a standalone product.
Switches
HPE Aruba Networking switches provide wired connectivity for offices, campuses and data centres, ranging from access switches for end-user connectivity to aggregation and core switches for higher-capacity backbone links. They support the security, segmentation and management features enterprises need to run a stable, scalable network. These switches form the wired foundation that supports servers, Wi-Fi access points and end-user devices across a site.
Wi-Fi
HPE Aruba Networking wireless access points deliver enterprise Wi-Fi coverage for offices, warehouses and public spaces, supporting the device density and security controls corporate environments require. Centralised management allows IT teams to monitor and configure access points across multiple sites from a single console. This range suits businesses needing reliable, secure wireless connectivity for staff and guest users alike.
Network Infrastructure
Beyond individual switches and access points, HPE Aruba Networking offers a broader networking portfolio covering routing, network security and unified management software that ties wired and wireless infrastructure together under one policy framework. This approach helps businesses simplify network administration and maintain consistent security across branch offices and head office alike. It is the layer that connects servers, storage and end-user devices into a coherent, manageable network.
Support
HPE Support services provide warranty extensions and technical support contracts for HPE hardware, giving businesses access to manufacturer-backed assistance, software updates and hardware replacement options beyond the standard warranty period. These service agreements are designed to reduce the risk and cost of unplanned downtime on business-critical infrastructure. Metro-Sol assists clients in selecting and maintaining the right level of HPE support cover for their environment.
Maintenance
HPE Maintenance services cover the ongoing, scheduled and break-fix care of HPE infrastructure, including hardware servicing, firmware and software updates, and on-site repair response for covered equipment. These agreements help extend the working life of infrastructure and keep it running at expected performance and reliability levels. This is a service offering that complements HPE's hardware sales, aimed at businesses wanting predictable, professionally managed upkeep of their IT estate.
