Storage

Does your data storage capacity outstrip your backup, disaster-recovery, and archive capability? The Spectra Cube Tape Library combines field-proven reliability with storage innovation and gives you access to a full suite of enterprise storage capabilities in a compact footprint. The Spectra Cube Tape Library starts small and expands up to 1670 slots and 50 petabytes (PB) of native capacity with LTO-10 and grows capacity and performance seamlessly without disrupting operations. The Spectra Cube Tape Library can expand up to 30 half-height (HH) or 16 full-height (FT) drives and 1670 Linear Tape-Open (LTO) slots. With the versatile built-in LumOS library management software interface, you have intelligent command, control, and data integrity functionality at the touch of a screen.

HPE Storage Ethernet Switch H-series SN8325H half-width switches help organizations balance density, high availability, and affordability which helps to save space and costs on server, storage, and HCI connectivity. They can be used in data centers, edge locations, or containers where space is at a premium (for example, retail locations, healthcare facilities, media, financial, and enterprise branches).

In today's data-driven world, where both the value and protection of data are paramount, IT organizations face increasing pressure to ensure their systems are secure, reliable, and efficient. The challenge lies not only in securing continuous, non-stop access to data but also in optimizing critical applications and resources to improve productivity. To address these demands, a simple and always-on infrastructure is essential—one that supports high throughput and low-latency requirements for critical applications. HPE Storage Fibre Channel Switch B-series SN3700B is key to helping organizations meet these challenges. By integrating this robust, high-performance network into their storage ecosystem, small and mid-sized businesses can effectively handle large volumes of data with minimal overhead. This enables faster decision making, improved operational efficiency, and a competitive edge, all without the complexity or cost typically associated with large enterprise-level solutions.

Are your ever expanding data storage, protection and retention needs getting out of hand? Are you concerned about how secure your data will be in the event of a ransomware attack? The HPE Storage MSL6480 Tape Library is the gold standard for mid-range tape automation, delivering best-in-class scalability, density, and performance to meet your short-term backup and disaster recovery data protection needs, as well as long-term archival requirements. Keep pace with data growth by seamlessly scaling up to seven modules—without disrupting daily data protection. Reduce TCO by reusing HPE Storage MSL tape drives while adding more capacity and performance as you need it. Competitively priced, the HPE Storage MSL6480 Tape Library offers an outstanding return on your storage investment.

Do you want the ability to replicate data to remote locations more efficiently and cost effectively? HPE 3PAR Remote Copy Software provides enterprise and cloud data centers with autonomic replication and Tier1 disaster recovery technology that allows the protection and sharing of data from any application simply, efficiently, and affordably.

Remote Copy Software dramatically reduces the cost of remote data replication and disaster recovery by leveraging thin copy technology and enabling replication with midrange, all-flash, and high-end arrays to deliver unique cost efficiencies for protecting a broader set of applications. Set up and test in minutes, reducing the need for professional services.

With support for Synchronous, Asynchronous Periodic and multi-site, Synchronous Long Distance replication, 3PAR Remote Copy delivers a rich portfolio of replication options for customers to achieve stringent recovery time objectives (RTO) and fast recovery point objectives (RPOs).

What I can do to improve the capacity efficiency of my legacy storage volumes without complex data migration or professional services?

HPE 3PAR Thin Conversion Software leverages the zero-detection capabilities within the HPE 3PAR Gen3 ASIC to drive the conversion of inefficient, “fat” volumes on legacy arrays to more efficient, higher utilization “thin” volumes on HPE 3PAR Storage Systems. This “thinning” of volumes enables data centers to meet Green IT targets, eliminate wasted space, and increase utilization rates. Because the fat-to-thin conversion mechanism is built into array hardware, volume conversions take place inline, at wire speeds, while preserving service levels, and without disruption to production workloads. With Thin Conversion, a technology refresh no longer requires a terabyte-for-terabyte replacement, but instead offers the opportunity to reduce capacity requirements by 50 percent or more without the need to invest in professional services.

What good are thin provisioning savings if they can’t be preserved over time?

An industry first, HPE 3PAR Thin Persistence Software means that thin volumes on the HPE 3PAR Storage System stay as lean and efficient as possible by leveraging the HPE 3PAR Gen3 ASIC to reclaim unused space associated with deleted data—simply, quickly, and non-disruptively. Writing and deleting large amounts of data can leave unused space within thin volumes. Even lots of small writes and deletions can eventually reduce the efficiency of thin volumes. This logical deletion of data without actually freeing up unused space creates a hidden utilization penalty that can really add up over time. HPE 3PAR Thin Persistence Software reclaims this unused space to increase capacity efficiency, keep costs down, and help defer the purchase of additional capacity to handle new data growth. Thin Persistence also helps enterprises maintain sustainability targets by keeping down data center power and cooling needs.

Does your data storage capacity outstrip your backup, disaster-recovery, and archive capability? Spectra T950 Tape Library combines field-proven reliability with storage innovation and gives you access to a full suite of enterprise storage capabilities. It delivers powerful library management, superior and proactive data integrity administration, and the outstanding total cost of ownership (TCO) for any tape solution. Once data expands beyond the limits of your initial Spectra T950 configurations, you simply add expansion frames to keep growing. Storage can expand up to 120 drives and 10,020 Linear Tape-Open (LTO) slots in eight frames. With versatile built-in LumOS library management software, you have intelligent command, control, and data integrity functionality at the touch of a screen. Spectra T950, with its compact footprint, is installed in many organizations worldwide to meet their backup, archive, and deep storage requirements.

Does your data storage capacity outstrip your backup, disaster recovery, and archive capability?

The Spectra TFinity Plus Tape Library delivers up to 45 exabytes (EB) of proven storage density packaged in a small footprint and offers scalability and speed to meet the requirements of the most demanding environments. Additional flexibility is provided through support of mixed media, both Linear Tape-Open (LTO) technology and TS11xx technology, in the same library. Customers can also access and migrate data from legacy Oracle® T10000 media to both technologies. Using LTO technology, it can expand from 50 to 56,400 slots for 4.3 EB of compressed data. Using TS1170 technology, the library can expand from 45 to 42,930 slots for 6.45 EB of 3:1 compressed data. The tape library can support up to 168 drives with transfer rates of 241.9 TB per hour (725.8 TB per hour compressed) using TS1170 technology.

Do you need flexible storage resources in your HPE Synergy 12000 Frame?

The HPE Synergy D3940 Storage Module provides a fluid pool of storage resources for the Composable Infrastructure.
