Storage Software

Are you looking for extreme high availability for your most critical HPE XP7 Storage applications?

HPE XP7 High Availability Software is an Active-Active high availability solution offering on HPE XP7 Storage. The high availability (HA) feature is implemented based on the XP7 Multi-Array Virtualization capability supporting two use cases: Active-Active HA and Active-Active Access.

Active-Active HA provides almost 100% storage up-time even when an array and/or entire data center goes offline. Active-Active Access provides non-disruptive, transparent VM and/or clustered application manageability between hosts or servers at the same or different sites. HA can be combined with any of the other traditional mirroring program products like Business Copy and Fast Snap to make additional copies. HA requires a Quorum device located in an external storage device.

Are you looking for a truly converged and flash-optimized primary storage platform? HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage with the HPE 3PAR File Persona is efficient, effortless, no compromise flash storage engineered for block, file, and object access. HPE 3PAR File Persona Software enables rich file protocols from SMB/CIFS to NFS and FTP/FTPS, file data services from quota management, virus scanning to file snapshots and retention/immutability, and programmatic data access via an Object Access (REST) API. It extends the spectrum of workloads natively addressed by HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage from virtualization, databases, and applications via the Block Persona to include home directory consolidation and user/group shares, content management and collaboration, and data preservation/governance via the File Persona – all from one converged controller architecture, one agile capacity group, and one truly unified management GUI, CLI and WSAPI.

Are you looking for a way to reliably protect your business critical applications without impacting performance? Are you looking to derive more value out of your secondary data copies? HPE Recovery Manager Central (RMC) software facilitates policy-driven, converged data protection and copy data management for your business critical applications at speeds required for all-flash storage. RMC integrates HPE 3PAR and HPE Nimble Storage All Flash Arrays with HPE StoreOnce Systems, leveraging snapshot performance with storage-integrated backups to deliver flash speed application protection and copy data management with less cost and complexity than legacy solutions. RMC is also built for cloud, allowing you to leverage public cloud for cost-effective long term retention of your backups.

Are you looking for ways to improve the efficiency of your storage IT staff? HPE XP7 Automation Director software is the answer to unlocking the full potential of your team. It utilizes a service delivery automation engine that catalogs routine and repetitive tasks, as well as advanced processes, for quick, repeatable, and predictable storage service delivery. This software enables an innovative approach to storage infrastructure management. Automatically or with a few clicks of the mouse, quickly provision, replicate, analyze, and customize your environment. It comes with a service catalog of pre-optimized templates using proven best practices. Templates are customizable using Service Builder to tune for your workloads, such as SAP®, Microsoft®, Oracle®, OpenStack®, and VMware®. Intelligent automation with HPE XP7 Automation Director software simplifies storage infrastructure management, improves productivity, reduces cost, and frees up resources for strategic innovation.

Storage Area Networks and the tools that are used to manage them have become increasingly complex. SAN administrators spend more time in configuration tasks – tedious manual activities which can potentially result in unplanned downtime. The reasons for the complexity include the increased adoption of Virtualization – a complexity stemming from mapping the virtual and physical layers of the SAN and the adoption of multiple protocols - iSCSI, FC and FCoE. HPE Smart SAN for 3PAR makes SAN configuration and management simple and error-free through intelligent automation. It is a protocol agnostic application embedded in SAN components that enables the 3PAR to orchestrate configuration, settings and policies in a HPE StoreFabric SAN. HPE Smart SAN’s Target Driven Peer Zoning enables you to configure zones accurately in minutes and not in hours and its automatic discovery mechanism creates a powerful platform which would enable real-time diagnostics and SAN analysis for more resiliency.

Do you need to protect your data across multiple site failures ? Are you looking for a multi disaster tolerant solution that also provides high availability?

HPE XP7 Three Data Center High Availability Suite with High Availability and Continuous Access Journal delta resync combines the high availability and synchronous replication at metropolitan distances with the long distance capability of journal replication.

A campus/metropolitan HA implementation allows for data currency due to Active-Active configuration at data center 1 and 2 with no impact to application availability or performance.

The HA pair volume are configured for Active-Active setup to provide for 14 9s availability.

If a failure at Site A, prevents host access to primary volume at Site A, read and write I/O can still continue to Site B, providing continuous server I/O to the data volume.

The journal for delta resync pair holds the differential data between the S-VOLs on local and remote sites.

The HPE StoreFront Analytics software provides customers using HPE 3PAR StoreServ storage with dashboards to gain deep insights and visibility into log analytics of the storage infrastructure.
HPE StoreFront Analytics integrates directly into VMware vRealize Log Insight through dashboards and custom fields specific to HPE storage. This dashboard allows VMware vSphere administrators to quickly view storage logs and errors and allows to easier troubleshoot scenarios that span across virtual and physical layers, which includes the HPE 3PAR StoreServ layer.
By actively analyzing and providing alerts of 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.
