What’s New: Accelerating the move to the All-Flash Data Center

Leading performance, workload support and scalability to 21 PB

The new 3PAR 20840 delivers up to 21 PBs of usable capacity and up to 3.2 million
IOPS with industry-leading throughput

75 percent less capacity and zero guesswork – guaranteed

The new HPE Get Thinner Guarantee program offers a free, up-front workload
assessment and a written assurance of 75 percent capacity savings that removes
guesswork in migrating from legacy storage onto all-flash HPE 3PAR arrays

Most affordable AFA as demonstrated by the new SPC-1 benchmark

New SPC-1 result for the 3PAR StoreServ 8450 All- Flash Array, where it achieved a
world-leading result of $0.23 SPC-1 $/IOPS™ – making it THE most affordable
external all flash array on the planet
