Features

HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage

Efficient

Autonomic

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 capacitymeaning 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.

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 autonomicallyintelligently, 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.

Resilient

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.

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.

Features

Storage federation on HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage can also help you improve availability in clustered VMware environments.

Mixed workload - Mixed workload support serves transactional and throughput-intensive workloads from a single device. The purpose-built HP 3PAR ASIC delivers mixed workload support to alleviate performance concerns and cut traditional array costs. Transaction- and throughput-intensive workloads run on the same storage resources without contention, thereby cutting array purchases in half.
