Storage

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.

HPE 3PAR Peer Motion Software enables Storage Federation and is the first non-disruptive, do-it-yourself data migration and load balancing tool for enterprise storage.
With Peer Motion, HPE 3PAR StoreServ customers can load balance I/O workloads across systems at will, perform technology refresh seamlessly, cost-optimize asset lifecycle management, and lower technology refresh capital expenditure.
Unlike traditional block migration approaches, Peer Motion enables customers to migrate storage volumes between any HPE 3PAR StoreServ models online, non-disruptively, and without complex planning or dependency on extra tools. Peer Motion leverages HPE 3PAR StoreServ Thin Built In™ technology to power the simple and rapid inline conversion of inefficient, “fat” volumes on source arrays to more efficient, higher-utilization “thin” volumes on the destination system. 3PAR Management Console orchestrates all stages of the data migration lifecycle to ensure data migration is simple and fool-proof.

HPE 3PAR Optimization Suite gives virtual and cloud datacenters the ability to optimize service levels autonomically, affordably, and on a large scale. Optimization Suite delivers the powerful capabilities of HPE 3PAR Adaptive Optimization, Dynamic Optimization, and System Tuner Software combined into a single suite. With Optimization Suite, users can leverage fine-grained, autonomic tiering with Adaptive Optimization to optimize service levels at the sub-volume level, react quickly to changing application and infrastructure requirements with Dynamic Optimization to non-disruptively alter service levels associated with a storage volume (RAID level, subsystem failure protection level, drive type, stripe width, and/or radial placement) and to rebalance entire system or given storage volumes, each with a single click, and maintain balanced performance with System Tuner that non-disruptively detects potential bottlenecks and hotspots and rebalances volumes to maintain peak performance.

HPE 3PAR Thin Suite offers the industry’s most comprehensive tools for thin storage. Thin Suite combines industry-leading HPE 3PAR Thin Provisioning, Thin Conversion, and Thin Persistence Software in a single suite. HPE 3PAR Thin Provisioning Software increases storage system efficiency and optimizes capacity utilization. It does this by addressing the problem of capacity over-allocation through eliminating the need to dedicate storage capacity up-front. With HPE 3PAR Thin Conversion Software, a technology refresh now offers the opportunity to reduce capacity requirements by up to 60 percent – simply and rapidly. HPE 3PAR Thin Persistence Software ensures that thin volumes on HPE 3PAR Storage System stay as lean and efficient as possible by reclaiming unused space associated with deleted data. Thin Suite enables users to not only save money on up-front capacity purchases, but to remain cost- and energy-efficient over time by ensuring that thin storage stays thin.

HPE P6000 Performance Advisor Software provides an intuitive, easy to use, performance monitoring and troubleshooting interface for the HPE P6000 Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA). Performance Advisor software is well integrated with the HPE P6000 Command View Software for single pane of glass management and performance monitoring. It provides performance data for P6000 EVA and the prior generation EVA 4x00, 6x00, 8x00 systems. P6000 Performance Advisor Software provides a dashboard display with live and historical performance data and also highlights performance data that require user attention. P6000 Performance Advisor software provides advanced reporting and charting options to define and monitor key performance indicators. It also has the ability to generate customized reports with multiple charting options, which can help troubleshoot performance issues.

The HPE StoreEver Rack-mount Kit provides a high-density, rack-mountable tape drive and Removable Disk Backup System solution for both direct-attach USB or SAS backup and archiving applications, or a combination of both LTO drives and RDX docks in the same 1U rack-mount kit. Available in a generic format supporting both SAS and USB interfaces, the 1U HPE StoreEver Rack-mount Kit accommodates up to two half-height internal tape drives with a maximum capacity of 60 TB (compressed) using two HPE LTO-8 Ultrium 30750 drives. The 1U enclosure also supports up to two internal HPE RDX docks with a maximum capacity of 8 TB per backup session when using two HPE RDX 4 TB USB removable hard disk drives.
