Are security and performance concerns standing in the way of infrastructure consolidation? HPE 3PAR Security provides secure data center environment and compliance with both internal and external governance policies. HPE 3PAR Security enables secure access and improved storage services for separate applications and user groups, while providing an efficient and cost-effective way to comply with data security requirements such as complying with internal governance polices. This unified security offering allows both internal and external storage service providers a secure consolidated environment while flexibly and efficiently protecting data from intentional or unintentional deletion. It delivers customized and secure storage to multiple administrators, applications, and departments, while retaining the benefits of storage consolidation.

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.

HPE Library and Tape Tools is a free, downloadable, and robust diagnostic tool for all Hewlett Packard Enterprise tape storage products. Provided for untrained administrators as well as experienced professionals, it is ideal for customers who want to verify their installation, facilitate product reliability, perform their own diagnostics, and achieve faster resolution of tape device issues. HPE Library and Tape Tools performs firmware upgrades, verification of device operation, failure analysis, and a range of utility functions.

HPE StoreOpen Software for LTFS has simplified the process of using linear tape file system (LTFS) making it easier to leverage this technology. LTFS makes tape self-describing, file-based, easy-to-use, and provides users with the ability to use standard file operations on tape media for accessing, managing, and sharing files with an interface that behaves just like a hard disk. HPE StoreOpen Software for LTFS provides a native GUI with a familiar look and feel to help LTFS users on Windows® and macOS to mount and use LTFS volumes. Linux® users access all LTFS functionality through easy-to-use command line tools.

HPE XP Performance Advisor Software identifies performance bottlenecks before they impact your business. It collects and displays performance data for HPE XP Disk Arrays. It helps mitigate risk by providing performance alarm notification through email, SNMP, or user-defined scripts and helps avoid impending outages due to unavailable or misallocated storage resources. Its report generation and scheduling capability improves IT processes and maintains array performance by immediately identifying storage bottlenecks.

XP Performance Advisor reduces complexity and accelerates resolution of problems by collecting information from multiple arrays across multiple sites, and allows you to drill down to the problem area. Its ability to collect up to 320 GB of historical data enables detailed trend analysis and makes it easier to analyze performance data at regular intervals. Its rich Command-Line User interface (CLUI) supports integration with third party software.

Are security and performance concerns standing in the way of infrastructure consolidation? HPE 3PAR Virtual Domains Software is technology capable of providing thousands of secure “virtual private arrays” within a single, massively-scalable HPE 3PAR Storage system.

By providing secure administrative segregation of users, hosts, and application data, Virtual Domains allows hosting providers to deliver virtual private array services and enterprise IT organizations to deliver “self-service” storage that is both secure and capable of high quality-of-service levels. Through consolidation onto the massively parallel and dynamically-tiered 3PAR Storage, individual user groups and applications achieve greater storage service levels (performance, availability, and functionality) than pre-consolidation levels with less infrastructure.

Virtual Domains is ideal for both internal and external storage service providers, and for any enterprise deploying a converged infrastructure.
