HPE 3PAR F-series

Class F HP 3PAR storage systems

• Storage systems of HP 3PAR of class F offer the same innovative architecture, technology of Mesh-Active controllers, safe multi-user use and support of the mixed loading, as in class T HP 3PAR storage systems, but in the reduced array with the 4-channel controller that allows to satisfy completely the needs for storage within the budget of the average size.
• The Mesh-Active technology for controllers independently distributes volumes on four nodes of the controller, at the same time using all resources of nodes for each volume, allowing to achieve necessary performance at the expense of the balanced load and bigger scalability, than from arrays with two controllers.
• Support of the mixed loading allows to minimize influence of consecutive loading (for example, during the collecting or data backup) which can arise at transaction loading (for example, during transactions with databases) that will help clients to integrate data for both types of applications in one array of the middle class.
• Work with additional software of HP 3PAR of Virtual Domains, the first and the technology of storage, similar gipervizorny, only in the market, allows to support several users on the uniform integrated array without prejudice to security and performance at once.
• Support of several types of disks allows clients to reach optimal price relation and productivities for several levels of data within a uniform profitable array of the middle class.

Reduction up to 75% of requirements in the capacity, energy consumption, cooling, and storage density

• Support of the same technology of distribution of data on several arrays used by all arrays of HP 3PAR provides effective use of capacity that allows to reduce costs on acquisition of physical capacity, placement of storages, energy consumption and cooling without prejudice to performance.
• Additional software of HP 3PAR of Thin Provisioning excludes irrational use of capacity, giving to clients an opportunity to purchase a disk with such capacity which is actually necessary for them.
• HP 3PAR of Gen3 ASIC with Thin Built In in each node of the controller thanks to a silicon basis allows to perform flexible redistribution of volumes that helps to rationalize use of capacity due to reduction of the existing requirements of capacity of storage and capacity utilization which it is selected, but are not used.
• Work with additional software of 3PAR Virtual Copy with "thin" technology for copying at record without preliminary reservation allows to reduce capacity for copying of disks and to create virtual copies which can be right there set and used.
• The high-speed array of RAID 5 increases RAID 5 performance to 10% in comparison with RAID 1 with considerably smaller costs of capacity; The High-speed array of RAID 6 (RAID MP) provides the improved protection when preserving performance level in 15% of RAID 10 and approximately with the same costs of capacity, as at the RAID 5 modes.

Reduction up to 90% of time of management of storage

• Software of HP 3PAR of Inform Operating System facilitates work of administrators, exempting them from need of administration within management and autonomous selection of necessary resources; Additional software of HP 3PAR of Thin Provisioning excludes planning of arrays, allowing to distribute storage resources only once for the entire period of work of installed application.
• The simple unified management console of HP 3PAR and unusually powerful scenario Command Line Interface (CLI) interface provide usability, highest in the IT industry, including a possibility of setup of several modes of recovery after failures on several nodes thanks to more economic ratio of disk arrays of the classes T and F in a few minutes.
• Integration with HP CloudSystem and HP BladeSystem the Matrix provides the simplified method of providing and storage of scale for the state and private cloud environments.
• Uses of the additional software of HP 3PAR for dynamic and adaptive optimization allows F-class systems independently, without active intervention to perform changes of the service levels.
• Additional software of HP 3PAR of Virtual Domains allows the IT organizations to provide to numerous administrators, applications, departments and the user groups safe storage with opportunities of setup and even "self-service".
