# HPE Alletra MP File Share support

The HPE Alletra B10000 system provides a unified storage platform that supports both block storage (using Fibre Channel and iSCSI) and file storage (via NFS) from a single operating architecture. The HPE VM Essentials application can easily create and manage both block and file storage types from one interface. With the new integration in the HPE VM Essentials plugin, you can easily create and manage file shares directly through the HPE VM Essentials interface.
