Efficient
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 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.
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.
SmartStart Software - software designed to get you off to a quick start with your new HP 3PAR StoreServ
7000 system.
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.
Resilient
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.
