And storage must change with it

Explosive growth & new workloads

Virtualization & automation

Cloud & utility computing

Infrastructure & technology shifts

Customers tell us storage is:

Too complicated to manage Expensive & hard to scale Isolated & disconnected Inefficient & inflexible

Storage needs to be:

HP 3PAR Virtual Copy Snapshot at its best

Base volume and virtual copies can be mapped to different CPGs This means that they can have different quality of service characteristics. For example, the base volume space can be derived from a RAID 1 CPG on FC disks and the virtual copy space from a RAID 5 CPG on Nearline disks. The base volume space and the virtual copy space can grow independently without impacting each other (each space has its own allocation warning and limit). Dynamic optimization can tune the base volume space and the virtual copy space independently.

Performance vs number of volumes

High performance can be achieved with small number of LUNs Instead of managing 10s of LUNs in ASM diskgroup to maintain highest performance only few LUNS are needed In this example, max performance can be achieved with only 4 LUNs

Does 3PARs implementation of massive parallelism of system resources (disks, paths, port, cache,nodes, etc.) really assure service levels as you scale? Yes! Is contention actually reduced by this complete and automatic load balancing? Absolutely!
