Overview

HP 3PAR F-Class Storage System

The HP 3PAR® F200 and F400 Storage Systems bring next-generation utility storage benefits and features to the midrange by offering unique features, high-end scalability, and high availability at a price that fits mid-sized budgets. The industry's first quad controller-capable storage system for the midrange, the F400 was named by Storage magazine-SearchStorage.com as the 2009 Product of the Year in the disks and disk subsystems category.

Traditionally, customers looking for midrange storage solutions have been asked to compromise scalability and availability due to cost constraints. However, a converged infrastructure requires that more and more applications be consolidated and that virtualization technologies are deployed, which places new demands on storage that midrange systems were not designed to meet. However, the alternative-purchasing premium-priced monolithic arrays to do the job-is not an economically viable option for most organizations.

Features

Get Thin and Stay Thin

The revolutionary, zero-detect capable HP 3PAR Gen3 ASIC is a hyper-efficient storage optimization engine designed to power "fat-to-thin" volume conversions in silicon while preserving superior performance levels. Fat-to-thin volume conversions boost capacity utilization by removing allocated but unused space from traditional, "fat" storage volumes.
With the HP 3PAR Gen3 ASIC's built-in, hardware-based zero-detection capabilities, migration of "fat" volumes from other storage platforms to new "thin" volumes on an HP 3PAR Storage System is achieved with the greatest speed possible and without the application disruption of software-based implementations. With fat-to-thin volume conversions taking place at the hardware level, more parallel memory transactions are possible and system performance is not impacted like it is with software-based approaches to volume optimization. Thin Built In capabilities within the F-Class also power the ongoing, automated optimization of thin provisioned volumes on HP 3PAR Storage Systems, so thin volumes stay thin.

Software

Start Thin. HP 3PAR Thin Provisioning Software	HP 3PAR Thin Provisioning Software improves storage system efficiency and optimizes capacity utilization system-wide. It does this by addressing the problem of capacity overallocation through eliminating the need to dedicate storage capacity on a per-application basis. Since its introduction, HP 3PAR Thin Provisioning Software has given HP 3PAR Utility Storage clients the ability to meet Green IT targets and reduce capacity purchases. Thin Provisioning makes this possible by cutting SAN costs, floor space requirements, and energy expenses by up to 75% and decreasing administration time by up to 90%. It does this by allowing organizations to purchase only the disk capacity they actually need, only as they actually need it through eliminating the need for up-front capacity allocation and dedicating resources to individual applications. This prevents clients from paying to power, house, and cool disks that they may not need for months or years to come, or may never actually need.
Get Thin. HP 3PAR Thin Conversion Software	With HP 3PAR Thin Conversion Software, a technology refresh no longer requires a terabyte-for-terabyte replacement, but instead offers the opportunity to eliminate 70-80% of the legacy capacity in a client's storage environment, simply and rapidly. The zero-detection capability built into the HP 3PAR Gen3 ASIC, combined with HP 3PAR Thin Conversion Software, can effectively and rapidly "thin" a heterogeneous data center to one-quarter of its original size or less while preserving service levels, and without impacting production workloads. This solution not only makes a technology refresh more affordable, but it reduces up-front capital costs as well as ongoing operational and environmental costs associated with powering, cooling, and housing storage equipment. It also provides space and power consumption relief for data centers approaching maximum density. In an ideal world, all storage volumes would start thin using HP 3PAR Thin Provisioning Software. But in some cases, starting thin has not been an option, particularly when it comes to data stored on legacy arrays from traditional storage vendors. HP 3PAR Thin Conversion Software uses a virtualization mapping engine for space reclamation called the HP 3PAR Thin Engine, together with the unique hardware capabilities of the HP 3PAR Gen3 ASIC to extend the benefits of thin provisioning to existing storage volumes. In tandem with the HP 3PAR Gen3 ASIC, Thin Conversion enables inline, wire speed "fat-to-thin" conversions compatible with any host volume. HP 3PAR Utility Storage is the only storage platform to offer this built-in, hardware-accelerated, fat-to-thin conversion capability. With HP 3PAR Thin Conversion Software, clients can rapidly and non-disruptively shrink storage footprint, reduce storage TCO, and meet Green IT targets.
Stay Thin. HP 3PAR Thin Persistence Software and Thin Copy Reclamation	To realize the ultimate efficiency and cost-saving benefits of starting thin or getting thin, storage also needs to stay thin. An industry first, HP 3PAR Thin Persistence Software ensures that thin volumes on the array stay as lean and efficient as possible. Thin Persistence Software accomplishes this by using the HP 3PAR Thin Engine with the system's built-in zero-detect capability to reclaim unused space associated with deleted data. With Thin Persistence, space reclamation on HP 3PAR arrays takes place simply, quickly, and without disruption to production workloads. Thin Copy Reclamation is an HP 3PAR InForm Operating System Software feature that performs a similar function to HP 3PAR Thin Persistence Software, but uses the HP 3PAR Thin Engine to reclaim unused space from thin copies (virtual copy snapshots and remote copies) rather than thin volumes. On average, HP 3PAR Utility Storage clients already purchase 60% less capacity than with traditional storage arrays. With HP 3PAR Thin Persistence and Thin Copy Reclamation, customers can improve this average capacity savings by another 10% for a total savings of up to 70%. Volumes and snapshots can now stay thin to help sustain Green IT targets, defer the cost of purchasing raw capacity to handle new data growth, and keep costs down without the need to purchase special host-based software or retaining professional services.
