Have Cloud or IT-as-a-Service (ITaaS) environments forced you to settle for Tier-1 storage that compromises your data center? HPE 3PAR StoreServ 20000 Storage is an enterprise flash array with more than 3.8M IOPS, sub-millisecond latencies, a 16x density advantage over the competition¹, and scalability of over 20 PB of usable capacity for massive consolidation – for block and file workloads as well as object access – with Quality of Service (QoS). The flash-optimized architecture features the HPE 3PAR Gen5 ASIC for silicon-based hardware acceleration, including inline deduplication, compression, data packing, thin technologies and other compaction technologies that can reduce acquisition and operational costs without compromising performance. Configuration options are available for all-flash models and combined flash and HDD models. HPE 3PAR StoreServ 20000 also includes at no extra charge data protection with HPE Recovery Manager Central.

Storage Area Networks and the tools that are used to manage them have become increasingly complex. SAN administrators spend more time in configuration tasks – tedious manual activities which can potentially result in unplanned downtime. The reasons for the complexity include the increased adoption of Virtualization – a complexity stemming from mapping the virtual and physical layers of the SAN and the adoption of multiple protocols - iSCSI, FC and FCoE. HPE Smart SAN for 3PAR makes SAN configuration and management simple and error-free through intelligent automation. It is a protocol agnostic application embedded in SAN components that enables the 3PAR to orchestrate configuration, settings and policies in a HPE StoreFabric SAN. HPE Smart SAN’s Target Driven Peer Zoning enables you to configure zones accurately in minutes and not in hours and its automatic discovery mechanism creates a powerful platform which would enable real-time diagnostics and SAN analysis for more resiliency.

Do you need to protect your data across multiple site failures ? Are you looking for a multi disaster tolerant solution that also provides high availability?

HPE XP7 Three Data Center High Availability Suite with High Availability and Continuous Access Journal delta resync combines the high availability and synchronous replication at metropolitan distances with the long distance capability of journal replication.

A campus/metropolitan HA implementation allows for data currency due to Active-Active configuration at data center 1 and 2 with no impact to application availability or performance.

The HA pair volume are configured for Active-Active setup to provide for 14 9s availability.

If a failure at Site A, prevents host access to primary volume at Site A, read and write I/O can still continue to Site B, providing continuous server I/O to the data volume.

The journal for delta resync pair holds the differential data between the S-VOLs on local and remote sites.

The HPE StoreFront Analytics software provides customers using HPE 3PAR StoreServ storage with dashboards to gain deep insights and visibility into log analytics of the storage infrastructure.
HPE StoreFront Analytics integrates directly into VMware vRealize Log Insight through dashboards and custom fields specific to HPE storage. This dashboard allows VMware vSphere administrators to quickly view storage logs and errors and allows to easier troubleshoot scenarios that span across virtual and physical layers, which includes the HPE 3PAR StoreServ layer.
By actively analyzing and providing alerts of virtual machines, datastores and storage, the VMware vSphere administrator's productivity increases, as does the ability to rapidly identify and troubleshoot potential problems and ensure consistent, predictable quality of service.

Looking to consolidate onto an enterprise-class flash array without compromising performance, scalability, data services, or resiliency?

HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 Storage, with the lowest all-flash starting price, delivers the performance advantages of a purpose-built, flash-optimized architecture without compromising resiliency, data services, or data mobility. Unlike other purpose-built flash arrays, 3PAR StoreServ 8000 doesn’t require you to introduce an entirely new architecture to achieve flash-optimized performance. With unmatched versatility, performance, and density, HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 Storage has you covered with unified storage of block & file protocols, application managed data protection and simplified fabric zoning along with SAN diagnostics.

Do you need to simplify your storage environment to enable growth and reduce complexity?

Then HPE XP7 Intelligent Storage Manager is the application you need. HPE XP7 Intelligent Storage Manager is a configuration management tool that reduces the complexity of managing HPE XP storage systems.
