HPE 3PAR StoreServ and StoreFabric M-series
Storage Transformation
Accelerate Data Delivery
HPE 3PAR StoreSer Storage delivers accelerated
data deliver to applications that power your
innovation agenda. Through the transformation
from disk-based storage to a unique flash-based
architecture, 3PAR allows every application to
have instant access to every port, node, and SSD.
However, with the wrong network, you may
introduce bottlenecks that prevent meeting the
accelerated performance flash arrays were
designed for.
Now, with the StoreFabric M-series switches, you’re
able to pair an all-flash design with high non-
blocking bandwidth, zero packet loss and low
300ns latency. This ensures a truly scalable solution
that provides increased density, maxim link
capacity utilization, and predictable performance
to accommodates dynamic, agile data movement
between server and flash storage with sufficient
bandwidth for the upstream network. This alleviates
bottlenecks caused by traditional networks and
unleashes the full capabilities of the 3PAR’s flashbased storage architecture.
Quick Reference Guide
Customers with smaller budgets do not lose features
Moving from tape and spinning
disks to Flash has resulted in more
than a 100 times reduction in
latency and has the potential to
drastically improve applications
response times. However, this has
resulted in shifting the bottleneck
from the disk to the network without the right network switch.
HPE M-series switches are
specifically optimized for storage
and offer the industries lowest
latency to support demanding,
high-performance storage
networks which contain a mix of
I/O workloads and applications on
a variety of storage tiers and
protocols. This ensures consistently
higher levels of performance and
system utilization so you can
achieve the full potential from
3Pars flash-based storage.

The storage industry is in a transformation, spinning
disk are being replaced with solid state technology
which reduces latency and can places a strain on
networks. As latencies decrease, similar reductions
must happen at the network. HPE StoreFabric Mseries switches offer the lowest latency in the industry
to support the most demanding network traffic,
including a seamless upgrade in the future to
support NVMe over Ethernet fabrics.
With port speeds ranging from 1 to 100Gb
Ethernet, the M-series allows for leveraging
10GbE ports today for server and storage while
aggregating bandwidth for switch to switch
connections at greater speeds. With extra
bandwidth waiting, it’s easy to upgrade to 25,
40, 50 or even 100GbE. Helping to future-proof
your network architecture by allowing for
significant speed upgrades to the architecture
over time. Providing enterprise-level
performance with attractive economics and
outstanding ROI.
Unified Storage
Faster Storage Needs Faster Networks:
HP 3PAR StoreServ offers unified block, file, and
object storage capabilities within the same
array. Adding the ability to automatically
reconfigure for different protocols
simultaneously and changeable in the future.
As customers move to adopt cloud and
software-defined data center technologies,
this agility simplifies configurations while
helping to reduce the complexity of deploying
and managing storage.
