HP 3PAR Thin Persistence Software

Overview	With the introduction of HP 3PAR Thin Provisioning software in 2002, 3PAR revolutionized data storage by
	giving customers the ability to meet Green IT goals, reduce capacity purchases, decrease administration
	time, and address the significant problem of allocated but unused capacity head-on. With HP 3PAR Thin
	Persistence, HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage customers can now leverage next generation space reclamation
	technology to minimize storage TCO and maintain environmental responsibility targets they have worked
	so hard to achieve.

	Reducing SAN ports and storage software fees (physical TB licensing)
	Reducing power, cooling, and floor space costs by eliminating unnecessary capacity
	Providing a simple, quick, and efficient mechanism for "thinning" volumes
	Permitting more application deployments and data growth with fewer capacity assets
	Speeding reclamation of space in minutes versus days or weeks

HP 3PAR Virtual Copy Software

Overview	Built on thin copy technology, HP 3PAR Virtual Copy is a reservationless, non-duplicative, copy-on-write
	software product that allows you to protect and share data from any application, affordably. Snapshots
	are available on demand, instantly, in read-only and/or read-write form. With Virtual Copy, snapshots are
	reservationless because capacity is never reserved up-front and non-duplicative since changed data is
	never duplicated within the snapshot tree.
	Coupled with consistency groups and support for hundreds of snapshots per base volume, Virtual Copy
	efficiency delivers affordable, CDP-like rapid application recovery from multiple points in time. With a
	single command, you can revert a base volume to any selected snapshot-without impacting other
	snapshots in the tree. And when you delete a snapshot, this never affects peer snapshots.
	Virtual Copy also integrates with HP 3PAR Autonomic Groups and HP 3PAR Scheduler-both features which
