Having difficulty with replication tasks and disaster recovery?

HPE P2000 Array System Remote Snap Software offers controller-based, asynchronous replication technology that provides local or remote replication among the HPE P2000 G3 MSA Arrays. HPE Remote Snap functionality is based on existing Snapshot technology offered by HPE MSA2000 SAN Array products. Snapshots are used to track the data to be replicated as well as to determine the differences in data updated on the master volume, minimizing the amount of data to be transferred. Supporting both Ethernet and Fibre Channel interconnects provides flexible options to your application environments. Protect your investment with Snapshot based replication enabling local and remote recovery based on need. Leveraging the integrated 64-Snapshots and the Volume Copy standard on the P2000 G3 MSA Array, the Remote Snap cost-effectively creates the local or remote copies.

Is your data protection solution causing your Exchange/SQL administrative costs to spiral out of control?

HPE Recovery Manager Software for Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft SQL Server eases administration by providing efficient online backup and recovery of entire Microsoft Exchange Server/SQL databases from multiple, highly granular points in time. Recovery Manager intelligently creates and manages highly granular and capacity-efficient Exchange/SQL database aware snapshots. These snapshots can then be used to quickly restore Exchange/SQL instances or databases, or to non-disruptively back them up to tape for near-continuous data protection. Since Recovery Manager is built on HPE P2000 G3 Snapshot software multiple snapshots can be kept online economically, allowing for extended or frequent Exchange/SQL database recovery points.

Is your organization looking to implement stricter data governance practices, or do you need to protect data from deletion to facilitate electronic discovery (eDiscovery)? HPE 3PAR Virtual Lock Software is designed to help HPE 3PAR Utility Storage customers meet data governance and eDiscovery needs more efficiently and flexibly than with existing storage products.

Virtual Lock Software gives users the ability to protect data volumes and volume copies from intentional or unintentional deletions. During the user-specified retention period, volumes and copies can be read but are protected against deletion, even by an administrator with the highest level user privileges.

Virtual Lock Software is “thin-aware,” so it works on both standard and thin provisioned storage volumes copies, and is completely compatible with HPE 3PAR Virtual Copy Software, HPE 3PAR Remote Copy Software, and HPE 3PAR Thin Provisioning Software.

Need to create snapshots for data backup, application recovery, business intelligence, and to expedite development and testing? HPE 3PAR Virtual Copy Software flexibly delivers instant, point-in-time (PIT) copies of your data so you can share and protect data from any application simply and
affordably.

Use Virtual Copy to stay ahead of the innovation curve—for example, by enabling rapid application recovery—while containing costs with a “thin-aware” implementation that minimizes the amount of physical capacity that is actually being consumed by your data—and without sacrificing performance, availability, or versatility. Most traditional copy solutions lack flexibility and require too great an investment in online capacity to be considered economical.

Virtual Copy Software is a reservationless, non-duplicative, copy-on-write product that consumes capacity only for changed data, in fine-grained increments, and without ever duplicating changed data within a snapshot tree.

Do you need to plan for advanced disaster recovery with simple configurations and management? HPE P6000 Continuous Access Software provides an array based application that uses advanced replication technologies to replicate data over almost any distance between HPE P6000 Enterprise Virtual Arrays. The HPE P6000 Continuous Access Software utilizes the powerfully simple graphical user interface (GUI) provided by Replication Solutions Manager (RSM) Software to create, manage and configure remote replication on the entire HPE P6000/EVA family of storage arrays. With the combination of unique remote replication technologies and the unparalleled easy to use RSM Software interface, enterprises can be confident their information is protected in the event of a disaster. Furthermore, the P6000 Continuous Access Software provides the necessary components to solve enterprises business continuity objectives in a cost effective and easily deployable package.

HPE P6000 Business Copy Software, an array based application that utilizes a powerfully simple HPE Replication Solutions Manager (RSM) user interface, to create, manage and configure local replication on the full P6000 product family to meet business continuity and regulatory requirements. P6000 Business Copy software shares an integrated management interface with HPE P6000 Continuous Access Software. The RSM manages all local and remote replication features across the full P6000 array storage family. The combination of the Business Copy Software’s unique Snapclone and Vsnap local replication technologies with an unparalleled easy to use RSM interface, businesses now can achieve new IT efficiencies. With the new Instant Restore capability enterprises can now quickly and easily restore a source volume if it should become corrupted. The flexible and cost effective license model offers a simple means to achieve growth without limits when business needs change.

HPE XP P9000 Resource Partition Software allows role based access control of XP P9500 resources. It allows storage administrators to partition XP P9500 Storage resources, at physical and logical level (Ports, Parity Groups, LDEV, Host Groups, External Volume) and assigning these resources to sub-administrators while retaining overall control.

HPE XP P9000 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 datacenter administrator retain complete control of XP P9500 Storage resources. Datacenter administrators can decide to partition XP P9500 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.

Have you been foregoing the benefits of multi-pathing due to cost, complexity, or limited operability?

HPE 3PAR MPIO Software for Microsoft Windows delivers a highly available, robust, and trouble-free multi-pathing solution for Microsoft Windows 2003 environments. With MPIO for Windows, I/O is intelligently routed through multiple paths between a host server and the HPE 3PAR Storage System for greater availability and load balancing. This solution is designed to utilize all available paths to prevent overloading of any single path and the accumulation of I/O bottlenecks. MPIO Software for Windows accomplishes this through a combination of autonomic load balancing, path failover capabilities, and ease of management. In the event of a path failure, MPIO for Windows routes data to an alternate path to prevent application disruption. Simple administration and affordability make MPIO for Windows an ideal solution for enhancing performance and reliability in Microsoft Windows environments.
