Are you looking for a solution to maximize uptime in your datacenter, address SAN issues before they impact operations and simplify SAN management ?
HPE B-series Fabric Vision Software for HPE B-series Switches and Directors provides unprecedented visibility and insight across the storage network and helps maximize uptime and simplify SAN management. Offering innovative diagnostic, monitoring, and management capabilities, Fabric Vision Software helps administrators address problems before they impact operations, accelerate new application deployments, and dramatically reduce operational costs
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 exchange data between your HPE XP7 Storage systems and mainframes?
HPE XP7 Data Exchange Software gives you the ability to seamlessly exchange data between mainframe and open systems hosts. Store and manage mainframe and open systems data on a single XP7 Storage system. It provides management of data format and code conversions, and allows information sharing across computing platforms. HPE XP7 Data Exchange Software supports HP-UX, Windows®, Linux®, Oracle® Solaris, IBM AIX®, and mainframe operating systems.
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.
HPE 3PAR Online Import Software gets customers to a modern Tier 1 storage solution effortlessly. Move data from HPE EVA Storage, EMC Storage, HDS Storage, or IBM Storage to HPE 3PAR StoreServ, a family of products that delivers a multi-tenant, federated solution designed for virtualized or cloud environments.
Using the HPE EVA Command View as the orchestration platform, 3PAR Online Import Software enables the migration of data from a source HPE EVA Storage to a destination HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage. It enables direct data migration, without adding additional impact to host services.
Using the 3PAR Online Import Utility as the orchestration platform, 3PAR Online Import Software migrates data from legacy storage to a destination 3PAR StoreServ Storage array, without adding additional impact to host services.
Whether you are moving from HPE EVA Storage, EMC Storage, HDS Storage, or IBM Storage 3PAR Online Import Software saves CAPEX on technology refreshes with 3PAR Thin Technologies.
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.
Do you have storage pools that aren’t really efficient?
HPE 3PAR Thin Provisioning Software solves the problem of inefficient capacity utilization by breaking the traditional linkage between allocated and purchased capacity. Demand for thin provisioning solutions combined with increased attention to data center power consumption has put pressure on vendors to introduce thin provisioning solutions, but bolt-on implementations can’t deliver the simplicity or the efficiency of Thin Provisioning.
With HPE 3PAR Thin Provisioning, capacity is dedicated and configured autonomically, just-in-time, and without active management. Rather than create separate pools of storage, the software creates one pool from which capacity is dedicated only as data is actually written. And while other thin provisioning implementations use coarse allocation units that can range from 1 MB to 17 GB, HPE 3PAR Thin Provisioning uses a fine-grained, 16 KB allocation unit to increase system efficiency.
HPE XP for Compatible Extended Remote Copy (XRC) Software provides disaster protection and data migration capability for data stored on an HPE XP Disk Array by implementing IBM mainframe compatible asynchronous remote replication. XRC provides the same functionality as IBM Extended Remote Copy (now called IBM TotalStorage z/OS Global Mirror), and is compatible with System Data Mover (SDM) mainframe software. When data is written to the local XP disk array, XRC temporarily stores a timestamped copy of it in a sidefile. SDM in one of the mainframe hosts asynchronously reads the sidefile data from the local XP disk array and then writes the data to the remote disk array.
XRC can be combined with other XP disk array replication products for additional availability. When combined with Hitachi TrueCopy for Mainframe, XRC supports 3 Data Center disaster recovery solutions.
The HPE Secure Manager for Tape Libraries software advanced feature option provides secure, device-level access, virtual library partitions, and configuration flexibility designed for SAN environments. As a component of HPE Command View for Tape Libraries (CV-TL), it provides centralized, web-based management for HPE ESL9000 and ESL E-Series enterprise class tape libraries, increases reliability and robustness of tape libraries in the SAN, and integrates with leading enterprise management applications.
