"IT168 Information" HP has extended its converged Storage (fused storage) portfolio by releasing HP Peer motion. This is a new federated storage software that allows clients to transparently migrate application workloads before the disk system in a virtualized and cloud environment.
Hewlett-Packard also launched the new HP P10000 3PAR Storage Bae. This product can provide powerful enterprise IT capabilities in both the public cloud and private cloud, known as it as a service. These features include workload consolidation, multiple leases, and streamlined provisioning for efficient capacity utilization, providing a powerful and responsive automatic workload rebalancing function for the enterprise.
IDC estimates that until 2012, 85% of new applications will be designed to be accessible on the cloud. These virtualization and cloud-based applications offer flexible availability, but they need to connect multiple storage systems together to be present and active as a single entity. This is called a storage union, which eliminates the need for additional virtualized device tiers, reducing the risk of cost, management overhead, and service levels within the datacenter architecture.
"The old storage system designed 20 years ago is not suitable for dynamic IT services, forcing users to use expensive and inefficient enhanced virtualization measures," said David Scott, HP's senior vice president and Storage division general manager. The true storage syndication approach in HP's converged storage solution solves the inherent unpredictability of multiple leasing environments while reducing the risk of expense, management overhead, and service levels. ”
Responding to the sensitivity of unpredictable needs
The new HP Peer motion software is available for HP Lefthand and HP 3PAR Storage Bae. The software provides the industry's first point-to-point storage syndication feature that spans virtual storage Area network (SAN) software devices to high-end storage systems. HP 3PAR and lefthand Peer motion software allows customers to:
To ensure continuous operation and to seamlessly distribute workload through joint work balance measures to meet unpredictable environmental requirements
Increase the ROI of your users by combining automated, streamlined configurations, transparently migrating application data to systems with available capacity, and reducing the need for future storage purchases.
Improve productivity by seamlessly migrating data from older arrays to new systems, through the asset management capabilities that come in and out, allowing users to stay in storage asset update activities without disrupting service.
"Our research tells us that global IT managers doubt that the same approach as they did in the next generation of data centers would not provide the desired results," said Steve Duplessie, founder and senior analyst at the Enterprise Strategy Group, a full service it analytics and industry strategy company. The new HP 3PAR system achieves a first-line standard for new data center models in all aspects of open system standards. ”
Management simplification without loss of performance
Customers should believe that 3PAR has continued its innovation after being bought by HP. In less than a year after being bought by HP, the company launched the P10000 3PAR Storage System, with two models, V400 and V800 (HP 3PAR v-class).
HP 3PAR V-class is a powerful mission-critical storage system that enables mixed, unpredictable, and multiple leased workloads on a high-performance array. This unique feature is provided by the HP 3PAR Fourth generation ASIC (dedicated integrated circuit). It simplifies management in a variety of ways:
The consolidation of unpredictable workloads, such as financial transactions and virtualized applications, eliminates the need to manually separate disparate workloads into different storage resources or storage systems.
Compared to the previous 3PAR system, can provide 1.5 times times the port connectivity and disk resources, three times times the sequential workload performance, such as data analysis.
Once the new resource is joined to the system, it is possible to automatically load all the data in a balanced array as soon as one key is added, improving performance and service availability for all volumes in the system.
Efficiently meet the needs of explosive data growth
Customers using other storage arrays typically have only add utilization to write data utilization. By taking full advantage of available capacity, HP 3PAR V-class allows customers to not purchase unnecessary disk space:
Three times times the "fat to thin" bandwidth, allowing customers to quickly migrate data to more efficient, streamlined volumes for higher capacity utilization.
Determine and reclaim unused storage capacity under high granularity, and use the new "Nano Recycle" engine to process application write and delete data.
Remote data replication detects and excludes unused space on traditional volumes, reducing network requirements and remote capacity requirements.
HP 3PAR V-class is a core technology for the new HP Virtualsytem and HP Cloudsystem solutions. These two solutions integrate hardware, software, and services, accelerate system deployment, and open a simple path to an open composite cloud for the enterprise.
