HP today expanded the company’s <a href="http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/data-storage/index.html#tab=TAB2">Converged
Storage</a> portfolio with a solid-state optimized all-flash HP 3PAR StoreServ system
that delivers performance and low latency without compromising enterprise resiliency
or adding datacenter complexity.

HP also has extended its six-year lead in software-defined
storage with a new <a href="http://www.hp.com/go/storeoncevsa">HP StoreOnce
Virtual Storage Appliance</a> (VSA) that cuts the cost of small site backup by up
to 65 percent.(1)

”It’s impossible for organizations to deal with unpredictable workloads
cost effectively if they’re managing disparate storage silos,” said David
Scott, senior vice president and general manager, Storage Division, HP. ”With
the new 3PAR StoreServ and StoreOnce innovations, customers get best-in-class,
purpose-built solutions to address critical new requirements while retaining
the simplicity that comes from an approach that can manage and serve a variety
of needs without creating new storage silos.”

Maximizing enterprise agility with an all-flash, solid-state optimized
array

The HP 3PAR StoreServ 7450 Storage system delivers more than 550,000 input/output
operations per second with less than 0.7 millisecond response time.(2) Flash-specific caching algorithms
dynamically adjust read/write granularity to reduce latency and speed transactions. In addition, <a href="http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/storage-software/product-detail.html?oid=5386541">HP 3PAR Priority
Optimization</a> software assures performance for specific workloads
to improve overall productivity.

To deliver a rapid return on investment, the HP
3PAR StoreServ 7450 Storage system
has hardware-accelerated data
compaction that reduces capacity needs by up to 50 percent without degrading
performance.(3) Systemwide
striping, which automatically writes data across all resources, increases
throughput, load balances the system and extends media life by eliminating hot
spots. Unlike offerings
from startup companies, the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7450 assures business continuity with
persistent technologies that provide constant application access in the event
of local hardware issues or multisite disasters.

HP is the only vendor to offer a single product architecture
that spans midrange-priced platforms, all-flash performance-optimized platforms
and enterprise platforms with multipetabyte scale.(4) Competitors with legacy portfolios are unable to
make the leap from traditional storage to flash optimized systems without
starting from scratch or introducing separate storage silos.(1) HP 3PAR
StoreServ’s simplification provides investment protection, reduces cost and
speeds deployment-all of which is only possible because of the modern
architecture of the 3PAR StoreServ system. Leveraging the same core
architecture allows all systems to share common data services, such as HP 3PAR Peer
Motion storage federation software, to move live data nondisruptively to other
systems and sites.

<b>New software and SAN
infrastructure for the entire HP 3PAR StoreServ family </b>

New
features added to HP 3PAR StoreServ strengthens enterprise security with
advanced data encryption to assist healthcare,
finance and government customers to meet their compliance requirements.

Unlike competitors that require the separate
expense of a dedicated appliance, <a href="http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/software/3par/pps/index.html">HP 3PAR Peer
Persistence</a> is an active-active stretch cluster
that provides transparent data center failover to eliminate workflow
disruptions.(1)

HP also announced
a new HP StoreFabric 16-gigabit (Gb) SAN infrastructure that eliminates
bandwidth bottlenecks to maximize the performance of flash-based systems.

<b>Second-generation
software-defined storage for more efficient data protection</b>

HP StoreOnce VSA deploys as a virtual machine on existing
industry-standard servers, eliminating the need for customers to purchase dedicated
hardware. It enables backup as a service offering for hosting providers and
lowers costs for enterprise remote office protection. In addition, HP StoreOnce
VSA reduces physical hardware requirements by up to 50 percent and energy costs
by up to 70 percent.(5) The new HP StoreOnce VSA joins
software-defined networking, server and storage as part of the <a href="http://www8.hp.com/us/en/solutions/solutions-detail.html?compURI=tcm:245-785656&pageTitle=converged-infrastructure&contentView=business&bold=B">HP
Converged Infrastructure</a> portfolio.

Unlike the fragmented complexity of competitive solutions, only
HP StoreOnce meets enterprise disk backup needs with a single storage
architecture.(1) It can be deployed across application and backup
servers, as well as on physical and virtual storage appliances. This enables customers
to transfer deduplicated data between any HP StoreOnce system without adding
the bandwidth and management overhead of disparate systems.

<b>Delivering best-in-class
scalability to support rapidly growing environments </b>

The <a href="http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/tape-automation/product-detail.html?oid=5386662">HP
StoreEver MSL6480 Tape Library</a> has enterprise-class features for long-term
data protection at a midrange price. It starts small and expands easily to
provide industry-leading performance, scale and density-up to 60.4 TB/hour and 3.5
PB-in a single library.

The HP Converged Storage portfolio is further integrated
with the new HP Data Protector 8 backup
and recovery software. Customers can now protect environments with up to 1
trillion unique filenames, more than 100 times that of competitive backup
applications.(1)
