Developed and integrated into the open-source cloud platform, HPE OpenStack for 3PAR StoreServ and StoreVirtual Software provides simplified cloud management with all-inclusive enterprise class storage features in both Cinder (block) and Manila (file) OpenStack drivers. Efficiently and simply deploy and manage true convergence of block, file and object access with 3PAR StoreServ. With Tier 1 Storage and best-in-class service levels, 3PAR StoreServ delivers robust cloud performance. For agile and simple scale out storage, StoreVirtual VSA provides complete array functionality on top of Linux KVM/ESXi environments without external array hardware. Leverage your existing x86-based hardware and transform your internal or direct attached storage into fully featured share storage arrays.

Are you wondering if the capacity in your Hewlett Packard Enterprise Storage array is running low or if your system's performance can continue to meet your applications’ increasing demand? HPE StoreFront Remote is a Hewlett Packard Enterprise storage analytics platform designed to help you make better data center decisions. It complements the Hewlett Packard Enterprise on premises management solutions by providing insights and analytics into the storage infrastructure to help you plan better for growth, be proactive in identifying incorrect configurations and older versions of firmware and software. It also keeps you informed about the wellness status of your HPE Storage and in turn helps utilize your HPE Storage Arrays more efficiently.

Containers enable portability, agility and accelerated application delivery. Stateful and mission-critical containerized applications require reliable data storage with high performance and availability. The integration of HPE 3PAR with Docker, Kubernetes, Red Hat OpenShift, Mesos and SuSE CaaS enables self-service dynamic storage provisioning, QoS, multi-tenancy, snapshots, clones, replication of data volumes on a highly available storage platform.The integration also enables migrating legacy data volumes into containers paving way for modernizing traditional workloads with containers. The IT Ops teams can deliver multi-tenant Container-as-a-Service (CaaS) offerings for tenants to on-board workloads with clear separation of data enabled by Virtual domains. The integration is made possible with HPE 3PAR Volume Plug-in for Docker, HPE FlexVolume driver and dynamic provisioner for Kubernetes. HPE 3PAR is Docker certified and a Red Hat OpenShift Primed partner.

Managing a virtualized infrastructure can be a daunting task considering the sheer amount of data, innumerable tasks, virtual and physical asset management, and simultaneous processes handled each day. It can prove to be an overwhelming challenge to oversee, maintain, and manage all your virtual machines (VMs), especially when you need to use multiple separate consoles for each operation. What if you could know exactly what was going on in your VMware® environment? HPE Storage Plug-Ins for VMware can provide you with the insight you need to manage your physical storage resources inside of your native and familiar VMware management tools. HPE Storage Plug-Ins for VMware provide value added management, monitoring, and automation integration for VMware environments through VMware® vCenter™ and VMware vRealize plug-ins that manage HPE Storage systems.

Are you dealing with error-prone and time consuming manual provisioning and management of storage? HPE Storage Software Development Kits simplifies automation of HPE 3PAR Storage management tasks including provisioning, monitoring, metrics reporting from configuration management tools and programming languages such as Python and Ruby. To have a public cloud like agility, automation of infrastructure tasks are a must. Manual provisioning and management of storage arrays can be complex, time consuming and error prone. The HPE Storage Software Development Kits provides developers and administrators with easy-to-use functions in native programming languages and significantly reduces the amount of coding required for automating simple and complex storage management tasks. Now storage management can be streamlined by reducing manual storage provisioning and monitoring and reducing human errors that can result from manual operations.

HPE Storage Integrations for Microsoft System Center provides monitoring of HPE Storage products using System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) and storage provisioning and management for select HPE Storage products with Hyper-V based virtual machines from System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM).

For business to move at the speed of cloud, infrastructure agility and consistency is key. Configuration management tools address rapidly changing infrastructure needs by providing a template for repeatable deployment thus preventing any environmental drifts and discrepancies. HPE Storage Toolkits for Configuration Management enables popular configuration management tools such as Chef, Puppet and Ansible to treat storage as a programmable resource, eliminates barrier between Developers and Operations by enabling self-service storage automation.. HPE Storage Toolkits for Configuration Management such as HPE 3PAR Cookbook for Chef or HPE Nimble playbook for Ansible provides blueprints to automate complex storage management tasks eliminating time consuming and error-prone manual tasks.

HPE XP Provisioning Manager Software is a plug-in application for HPE XP Command View Advanced Edition Software. It enables you to quickly connect an HPE XP Disk Array to a host server and make the storage ready for use. It simplifies each step of the process: carving raw disk storage into manageable logical devices (LDEV's), allocating LDEV's to host servers, creating a device file, creating a file system, and mounting the resulting block to a file system.

HPE XP Provisioning Manager enables you to integrate and manage your HPE XP Disk Array storage as a logical storage pool. By presenting the volumes associated with each resource group as a single logical volume, HPE XP Provisioning Manager lets you manage these volumes regardless of where they actually reside. This reduces the workload required to monitor and maintain the various volumes.

HPE XP Provisioning Manager provides transaction logs to help you quickly resolve file system and device management problems.

HPE XP Tiered Storage Manager Software is a plug-in application for HPE XP Command View Advanced Edition Software. It allows you to non-disruptively migrate HPE XP Disk Array data between tiers of storage while your applications remain on line. You can match key user quality of service requirements, like cost, performance and data protection level, to the storage attributes of HPE XP Disk Array controlled storage. HPE XP Tiered Storage Manager Software works not only with internal HPE XP Disk Array data, but also with External Storage, such as an MSA or EVA, connected to the HPE XP Disk Array.

HPE XP Tiered Storage Manager Software saves you time and eliminates disruption when you need to migrate ageing data to another tier of storage. With this product you can move the data while it remains online and ready for access. It improves data manageability and is perfect for applications which cannot be stopped or even paused.
