The worlds most advanced storage platform, now for all of the midrange
High availability and uncompromising data protection are must-haves for any enterprise data centernot just those that can afford high-end storage. With HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage, you can dramatically reduce the cost of remote data replication and disaster recovery with highly efficient, multi-mode replication across all HP3PAR models. Part of the HP 3PAR 7000 Replication Software Suite, HP 3PAR Remote Copy software allows you to achieve low recovery-time objectives (RTOs) and zero-data-loss recovery-point objectives (RPOs) with complete distance flexibility. And since HP 3PAR Remote Copy configuration is now autonomic, meaning it is completed in one step, so you can protect your data from the start.
A unique suite of persistent technologies power HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage in delivering high availability and Tier 1 resiliency to the midrange. HP 3PAR Persistent Cache preserves service levels so they are not impacted by unplanned component failuresa key requirement for the virtual data center. HP 3PAR Persistent Ports allow nondisruptive upgrades to HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage systems without relying on multipathing software and without initiating failover. Effortless resilience is delivered by HP 3PAR Peer Persistence Software, which keeps your business-critical VMware deployment seamlessly running on your HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 system, even in the event of disaster. With Peer Persistence, youll also be able to federate storage across data centers without being constrained by physical boundaries. Failover and failback between two sites or data centers is transparent to hosts. Support for solid state drives, block-level storage tiering, and mixed workload optimization enable high levels of performance, so you can put more applications on the same storage to lower total infrastructure cost. Unlike traditional arrays that require you to scale up to support growth or increase performance, the unique, clustered, Mesh-Active architecture shared by HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage delivers capacity and performance that scales automatically, even at extremely high-capacity utilization levels. Low latency levels meet the requirements of response-time sensitive applications like Oracle Database and Microsoft Exchange. This high-performance architecture also allows you to get more out of your VMware deployment, where extensive use of virtual memory pages to disk can limit VM consolidation on your physical server when paired with legacy storage, but not with 3PAR StoreServ solutions. In fact, HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage delivers such high performance that HP guarantees your ability to double VM density on your physical servers.4
In the area of effortless efficiency, unlike copycat thin storage on legacy arrays, HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage features hardware-enabled thin technologies that allow the system to run in a state of consistent high-capacity utilization without any performance tradeoffs. Save on the cost of a storage technology refresh and then increase storage ROI by keeping incremental purchases, administration, and operating costs low over time. In fact, the HPGet Thin Guarantee promises new HP 3PAR StoreServ customers a minimum 50 percent reduction in capacity requirements by replacing legacy storage with HP 3PAR StoreServguaranteed.5 Policy-driven, autonomic storage tiering technologies also make efficiency effortless by balancing cost and performance to meet service-level requirements for the lowest cost, while increasing business agility and mitigating risk. For example, HP 3PAR Adaptive Optimization Software leverages a proven, fine-grained data movement engine and applies it to independent regions within a volume to deliver highly reliable, nondisruptive, autonomic, tiered storage to provide right QoS to the right data at the right time so you can meet service-level targets.

Organizations that have deployed HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage in client virtualization environments consistently cite reduced TCO and increased ROI as two of the key advantages it has delivered.
With Microsoft Exchange 2010, HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 support for 3PAR Rapid Provisioning simplifies deployment of new Exchange mailboxes by provisioning storage, adjusting logical unit numbers (LUNs), and creating a redundant array of independent disk groups in secondswith no pre-planning required. HP 3PAR Thin Technologies remove the need for full provisioning of storage since Exchange Database Availability Groups (DAGs) consume only what they need. Autonomic storage tiering gives you the flexibility to meet a wide variety of Exchange workloads within the same mailbox database while also reducing cost. HP 3PAR Recovery Manager for Microsoft Exchange uses a unique asynchronous periodic mode to deliver a disaster recovery solution that provides data integrity and application-consistent snapshots at the remote site. SAP landscapes feature unique challenges such as exponentially growing SAP database instances, the need to improve storage performance while increasing availability for SAP systems, and the need to keep up with rapid deployment of virtualized SAP systems. HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage addresses these challenges with capabilities such as industry-leading thin technologies for defining the SAP database size of tomorrow while paying for the hardware requirements of today. 3PAR Autonomic Groups and Virtual Domains simplify SAP database provisioning and organization of storage resources, while system-wide striping meets SAP environment demands for low-latency I/O response times under all conditions. In Windows Server 2012 environments, built-in, fine-grained virtualization, system-wide striping, and support for multi-tenancy give you the ability to consolidate mixed workloads onto a single HP3PAR StoreServ 7000 system. With Windows Server 2012 Offload Data Transfer (ODX) and the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000, you can migrate large filessuch as databases or video filesup to seven times faster with near-zero network impact due to zerodetection capability integrated into the HP 3PAR ASIC. HP 3PAR Thin Technologies and Windows Server 2012 automatic reclamation of storage automate storage growth and shrinkage, while HP 3PAR Adaptive Optimization Software delivers the right QoS to the right data at the right time in Windows Server 2012 environments.
