HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage

Standard Features

Efficient

Get thin and stay thin - Thin technologies unique to the HP 3PAR StoreServ family can reduce capacity

 

requirements by 50%. Purchase only what you need, as you need it so you can focus resources on growing

 

your business, not maintaining your storage. Additionally, the HP 3PAR ASIC with Thin Built In features an

 

efficient, silicon-based zero-detection mechanism. This unique hardware capability gives HP 3PAR

 

 

 

StoreServ Storage the power to remove allocated but unused space without impacting performance.

 

Data center virtualization - Increase virtualization return on investment. Double virtual machine density on

 

your physical servers, spend up to 90 percent less time managing your storage, and support your

 

 

 

virtualization deployment with 50 percent less storage capacity. HP 3PAR StoreServ is built from the

 

ground up to deliver performance that exceeds the demands of virtualized data centers along with

 

transformative levels of simplicity, agility, and efficiency.

 

 

 

Service levels - With policy-based autonomic sub-LUN tiering, you can balance the cost of capacity and the

 

cost of performance and put the right data on the right storage tier at the right time.

 

 

 

Do more with less - With HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage you can purchase up to 75 percent less capacity-

 

meaning less equipment to house, fewer disks to power and cool, less hardware to retire after it has

 

reached its end of life, and a reduced carbon footprint.

 

 

Autonomic

It's like breathing-you don't even have to think about it. Simplify, automate, and expedite storage

 

 

 

management by handling storage provisioning, tiering, and change management autonomically-

 

 

 

intelligently, at a sub-system level, and without administrator intervention.

 

 

 

SmartStart Software - software designed to get you off to a quick start with your new HP 3PAR StoreServ

 

7000 system.

 

 

 

Common architecture - Access the same features as the world's largest service providers with a common

 

architecture that meets SMB needs and spans to the largest global enterprise.

 

 

Resilient

Secure multi-tenancy - Consolidate with confidence. Achieve higher service levels for more users and

 

applications with less infrastructure. HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage is designed to support massive

 

 

 

consolidation by supporting mixed workloads and secure administrative segregation of users, hosts, and

 

application data. Deliver higher performance levels, greater availability, and next-generation functionality

 

to multiple user groups and applications from a single storage system.

 

 

 

Scalable - HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 provides affordable entry pricing and unique, non-disruptive scalability

 

to four nodes.

 

 

 

High Availability - Featuring the same mesh-active architecture as all HP 3PAR StoreServ products, HP

 

3PAR StoreServ 7000 offers the highest levels of data availability and protection for the midrange.

 

Intelligent data striping across all available enclosures provides HA Cage, the ability to maintain

 

 

 

availability even when a whole drive enclosure fails. HP 3PAR Persistent Cache in four node configurations

 

eliminates performance impacts that result from unplanned component failures, making it a must-have

 

for maintaining service levels in the virtual data center-a feature that you can't get from any other

 

 

 

midrange storage platform.

 

 

 

Storage federation - Meet the needs of today's data center with the ability to move data and workloads

 

between arrays without impact to applications, users, or services. Simply and non-disruptively shift data

 

between any model HP 3PAR StoreServ system without additional management layers or appliances.
