Today Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) announced it would help the acceleration to the all-flash data center with 3PAR StoreServ Storage solutions. Along with the new 3PAR StoreServ Storage solutions, HPE is also refreshing its HPE StoreOnce and HPE StoreEver product lines. These refreshes are aimed at keeping protection and retention up to pace with application demands.
The new 3PAR StoreServ products include:
StoreServ Storage support both file and block storage as well as a secondary HDD tier of storage. This support makes up the new 3PAR StoreServ 8200 Converged File and Block Starter Kit, which enables consolidation onto a single unified system. HPE states that its new system will cost 26% less than its competitors’ systems. HPE is also releasing several reference architectures for 3PAR StoreServ Storage that will help customers deploy the new unified systems. These new reference architectures address VDI and Sharepoint environments as well as HPE Software solutions for information management, including HPE Data Protector. Data Protector offers customers additional storage options for efficient long-term data retention, higher storage efficiency with federated catalyst support, and advanced virtual machine recovery options, and rapid single recovery.
HPE announced innovations to long-term tape storage today as well. HPE has refreshed its StoreEver LTO-7 media, drives and automated libraries with twice the capacity and performance of the previous generation and with 100x improvement in reliability. HPE claims that users of 3PAR StoreServ flash arrays can use these new tape offerings like “tape as NAS.” In other words, this new tape media will be used as bulk archive but will be able to be accessed as though it was on disk.
And finally, HPE is releasing a new lineup of entry and mid-range HPE StoreOnce Systems. HPE claims these new systems will have up to 2.7 times more performance and twice the density of their competitors all while being priced under $0.05 per usable GB of logical capacity. The new systems will also improve performance, reduce network bandwidth, and eliminate dedicated backup management through support of native integration with Oracle, SAP, Microsoft, Veeam, and Veritas applications.
The new StoreOnce models also include application-integrated snapshot offload capabilities from 3PAR StoreServ via StoreOnce Recovery Manager Central (RMC) software. RMC software is integrated with VMware and enables the rapid creation and movement of Microsoft SQL snapshots directly from the 3PAR StoreServ array to any StoreOnce backup target via unique HPE Express Protect technology. That means users can lower risks by moving data to a secondary storage tier, eliminate licenses for dedicated ISV backup software thus reducing costs, and accelerate backup and recovery.
