Is your Hyper-V backup solution disruptive or does recovery lack the granularity to restore individual files? HPE 3PAR Application Suite for Microsoft Hyper-V is an array-based, online virtual machine snapshot and recovery solution that gives superior control over data protection and recovery in Hyper-V environments.

By leveraging HPE 3PAR Virtual Copy Software, Recovery Manger enables administrators to non-disruptively create space-efficient, application-consistent, point-in-time snapshots to protect and recover Virtual Hard Disks (VHDs), individual virtual machines (VMs). The Application Suite for Recovery Manager includes Recovery Manager for Hyper-V and the VSS Provider software.

Competitively priced, the HPE StoreEver MSL6480 Tape Library offers an outstanding return on your storage investment.

Today’s IT organizations are under pressure to keep pace with the growing avalanche of data traffic between data centers and the changes driven by virtualized application workloads. Faced with this challenge, coupled with rising Service Level Agreement (SLA) requirements and recovery expectations, enterprise data centers need their disaster recovery plans to enable fast, continuous, and easy access to mission-critical data from anywhere in the world.

The HPE B-series SN4000B SAN Extension Switch with Brocade Fabric Vision technology delivers unprecedented performance, continuous availability, and simplified management to handle the unrelenting growth of data traffic between data centers.

The HPE SN4000B is a purpose-built data center extension solution that maximizes performance and scalability for large, complex environments, allowing IT organizations to future-proof their storage extension infrastructure by adding more throughput capacity as their needs grow.

Do you need to encrypt the hard drives of your HPE XP7 Storage system?

HPE XP7 DKA Encryption Software enables the encryption capability for all the data that is stored on the internal drives of the HPE XP7 Storage. The enhanced DKA encrypts the data on disk drives so that data cannot be read off a disk drive that is removed from the HPE XP7 Storage. Only data on the disk drives is encrypted (data in cache is not encrypted).

Are you struggling with managing heterogeneous storage across the different platforms?

In today’s business world, mergers, acquisitions, and technology changes have created IT environments where varieties of dissimilar servers and storage must co-exist. HPE XP7 External Storage Software decreases the stress and reduces the cost of owning heterogeneous data storage by simplifying and centralizing common SAN management tasks through storage virtualization. In addition it simplifies movement of data between dissimilar arrays. It provides these benefits by giving you the ability to access, monitor, and manage data residing on a variety of different disk arrays as if all of the data were residing on an HPE XP7 Storage.

Through advanced virtualization technology, HPE XP7 External Storage Software enables the hosting of XP7 Storage data on externally attached disk arrays. Servers can see the capacity of the various arrays, but are insulated from the physical attributes.

Does your data center need a solution for reducing the complexity of replication?

HPE XP7 Replication Manager Software enables you to create, manage, and maintain HPE XP7 Storage and HPE XP Disk Array replication pairs. It provides centralized management of replication applications, decreases storage administration complexity, increases productivity, and improves service levels by providing a single enterprise view of the replication environment. It allows you to view replication status graphically in real-time, improving your efficiency.

In addition to replication status, XP7 Replication Manager Software also provides early warning of impending problems. It reduces tedious data entry that can cause outages and simplifies difficult replication tasks. Plus it reduces costs and training expenses associated with replication management.

Do your storage administrators need to partition HPE XP7 Storage resources, at physical and logical levels?

The HPE XP7 Resource Partition Software allows role-based access control of XP7 resources. It allows storage administrators to partition XP7 Storage resources, at physical and logical level (ports, parity groups, LDEV, host groups, and external volumes) and assigning these resources to sub-administrators while retaining overall control.

HPE XP7 Resource Partition Software is ideal for a multi-tenant environment set up where dedicated sub-administrators need to manage the IT infrastructure needs of their respective business units. At the same time, it allows the data center administrator to retain complete control of XP7 Storage resources and decide to partition the XP7 Storage resources either at a logical level to improve storage utilization efficiency or at a physical level to improve quality of service and avoid data and access breaches across multiple tenants.

Do you need concurrent access to mainframe volumes on your XP7 Storage?

HPE XP7 for Compatible Parallel Access Volumes (PAV) Software and HPE XP7 for Compatible Hyper PAV Software enable high performance concurrent access of your mainframe volumes by permitting a mainframe host system to issue multiple I/O requests in parallel to individual logical devices within the HPE XP7 Storage system. Without PAV, mainframe systems can initiate only one I/O request per device at a time, and must wait for the I/O to complete before starting another I/O request to the same device. PAV enables the host system to start several I/O requests simultaneously to the same device, thus greatly improving your overall performance.

The XP7 Storage supports static PAV, dynamic PAV, and Hyper PAV; the number of aliases assigned to each base device does not change. With dynamic PAV, high workload base devices can borrow idle PAV aliases from other base devices, increasing their I/O capability.

Are you searching for cost reductions for your HPE XP7 Storage?

HPE XP7 Thin Provisioning Software reduces your cost, accelerates your return on investment and reduces the environmental impact of your HPE XP7 Storage. It allows you to supply disk storage capacity to your applications from a pool of virtualized storage. By enabling you to allocate your anticipated future storage capacity needs from virtual disk storage, HPE XP7 Thin Provisioning Software reduces the amount of physical disk capacity initially required. As utilization of disk space increases over time, you can purchase more disk capacity as it is needed and install it without affecting your applications. It reduces both your initial storage acquisition cost, and total cost of ownership, by allowing you to defer some storage purchases to a later date. Configure large logical volumes using a minimum of physical capacity, only paying for and installing storage when it is needed.
