Storage

The HPE StoreFront Analytics software provides customers using HPE 3PAR StoreServ/StoreVirtual storage with operational dashboards to gain deep insights and visibility into the health, risk and efficiency of the storage infrastructure’s performance and capacity capabilities.

HPE StoreFront Analytics integrates directly into VMware vRealize Operations Manager through an additional dashboard specific to HPE storage. This dashboard allows VMware vSphere administrators to quickly view storage capacity, performance metrics, health information and allows to easier troubleshoot scenarios that span across virtual and physical layers, which includes the HPE 3PAR StoreServ and HPE StoreVirtual storage layer.
By actively analyzing and providing alerts on the health of the 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.

Do you need to increase the performance between FICON® links and your networked data storage?

The HPE XP7 Compatible High Performance FICON Connectivity Software provides FICON for System z® or zHPF and is an enhancement of the FICON channel architecture. It delivers compatibility with standards such as Fibre Channel (FC) Physical and Signaling Standard (FC-FS), FC Switch Fabric and Switch Control Requirements (FC-SW), and FC Single-Byte-4 (FC-SB-4) standards. Enhancements have been made to the z/Architecture® and the FICON interface to deliver improvements for online transaction processing (OLTP). zHPF is implemented exclusively in System z10®. When XP7 Compatible High Performance FICON Connectivity Software is exploited by the FICON channel, the z/OS® Operating System, and the control unit; the FICON channel overhead will be reduced. Simplification of the protocol reduces the number of information units processed, resulting in more efficient use of the fiber link.

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.
