Product features

• Get thin and stay thin
  Thin technologies unique to the HPE 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 HPE 3PAR ASIC with Thin Built In features an efficient, silicon-based zero-detection mechanism. This unique hardware capability gives HPE 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. HPE 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 HPE 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.
• HPE 3PAR Express Writes
  HPE 3PAR Express Writes is a write acceleration feature built in to HPE 3PAR OS version 3.2.1 and later to optimize CPU utilization and, depending on workload, deliver greater throughput, up to 30 percent more IOPS, and 20 percent reduced latency.
• 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.
• Secure multi-tenancy
  Consolidate with confidence. Achieve higher service levels for more users and applications with less infrastructure. HPE 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, six-nine availability, and next-generation functionality to multiple user groups and applications from a single storage system.
• Scalable
  HPE 3PAR StoreServ 7000 provides affordable entry pricing and unique, non-disruptive scalability to four nodes.
• High availability
  With the Get 6-Nines Guarantee, HPE ensures 99.9999% data availability with all HPE 3PAR StoreServ 7400 systems with four nodes giving you the peace of mind to expand deployment of mission critical applications to midrange storage. Intelligent data striping across all available enclosures provides HA Cage, the ability to maintain availability even when a whole drive enclosure fails. HPE 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 nondisruptively shift data between any model HPE 3PAR StoreServ system without additional management layers or appliances. Storage federation on HPE 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 HPE 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.
• Data at Rest Encryption
  Enables the encryption for all the data that is stored on the internal drives of the 3PAR StoreServ Storage. The 3PAR StoreServ Data Encryption solution encrypts and decrypts all data written to and read from the media automatically. The 3PAR StoreServ Data Encryption solution encrypts the data so that data cannot be read off a drive that is removed from the 3PAR Storage. In the event of a failure of the drive or the theft of a drive, the proper authentication key is required to be entered to gain access to the data stored within the drive. This method of encryption allows the user the comfort knowing all data contained on the drive is protected against internal and external risks.
