For business to move at the speed of cloud, infrastructure agility and consistency is key. Configuration management tools address rapidly changing infrastructure needs by providing a template for repeatable deployment thus preventing any environmental drifts and discrepancies. HPE Storage Toolkits for Configuration Management enables popular configuration management tools such as Chef, Puppet and Ansible to treat storage as a programmable resource, eliminates barrier between Developers and Operations by enabling self-service storage automation.. HPE Storage Toolkits for Configuration Management such as HPE 3PAR Cookbook for Chef or HPE Nimble playbook for Ansible provides blueprints to automate complex storage management tasks eliminating time consuming and error-prone manual tasks.

Do you need to simplify your storage environment to enable growth and reduce complexity?

Then HPE XP7 Intelligent Storage Manager is the application you need. HPE XP7 Intelligent Storage Manager is a configuration management tool that reduces the complexity of managing HPE XP storage systems. HPE XP7 Intelligent Storage Manager’s intuitive Graphical User Interface enables a short learning curve, and gives users at-a-glance status of XP storage resources. Built-in configuration intelligence provides best-practice recommendations to help users simplify deployment, management, and maintenance. Quickly and easily create parity groups, pools, and volumes, then set replication policies for up to 50 XP storage systems. Intelligent Storage Manager reduces complexity and the effort required to manage storage resources, allowing for more time to focus on strategic revenue generating initiatives.

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.

Do you want the ability to replicate data to remote locations more efficiently and cost effectively? HPE 3PAR Remote Copy Software provides enterprise and cloud data centers with autonomic replication and Tier1 disaster recovery technology that allows the protection and sharing of data from any application simply, efficiently, and affordably.

Remote Copy Software dramatically reduces the cost of remote data replication and disaster recovery by leveraging thin copy technology and enabling replication with midrange, all-flash, and high-end arrays to deliver unique cost efficiencies for protecting a broader set of applications. Set up and test in minutes, reducing the need for professional services.

With support for Synchronous, Asynchronous Periodic and multi-site, Synchronous Long Distance replication, 3PAR Remote Copy delivers a rich portfolio of replication options for customers to achieve stringent recovery time objectives (RTO) and fast recovery point objectives (RPOs).

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 need to assure quality of service for mission critical applications?

HPE 3PAR Priority Optimization Software enables service levels for applications and workloads as business requirements dictate. Provision storage performance as you provision storage capacity. Create SLAs to protect mission critical applications in enterprise environments by assigning a minimum goal for I/O per second, bandwidth and latency. Performance for that specific tenant or application is assured. Or assign performance caps on workloads with lower service level requirements. Enable predictability for all applications and tenants.

Configure service level objectives on a Virtual Volume Set or between different Virtual Domains. A Virtual Volume Set may contain a single volume or multiple volumes. A Virtual Volume may also belong to multiple Virtual Volume Sets allowing users to create hierarchical rules. All host I/O on the VVset is monitored and measured against the Service Level objective.

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

Are you dealing with error-prone and time consuming manual provisioning and management of storage? HPE Storage Software Development Kits simplifies automation of HPE 3PAR Storage management tasks including provisioning, monitoring, metrics reporting from configuration management tools and programming languages such as Python and Ruby. To have a public cloud like agility, automation of infrastructure tasks are a must. Manual provisioning and management of storage arrays can be complex, time consuming and error prone. The HPE Storage Software Development Kits provides developers and administrators with easy-to-use functions in native programming languages and significantly reduces the amount of coding required for automating simple and complex storage management tasks. Now storage management can be streamlined by reducing manual storage provisioning and monitoring and reducing human errors that can result from manual operations.
