HP innovation simplifies how public and private cloud providers build and deliver IT-as-a-Service
HP Enterprise Business, StorageWorks Division led by (from right to left) Mr. Wongviwat Siritasanakul, Business Manager; Dr. Beng Teck Liang, Managing Director and General Manager; Mr. Marrut Manistitya, Director of Enterprise Servers, Storage and Networking (ESSN) and Mr. Kris Day, Sales Director of 3PAR HP South East Asia jointly introduced HP 3PAR Utility Storage, a next-generation storage platform built for cloud computing, with HP CloudSystem to accelerate client deployment of public and private cloud environments. The platform enables clients to simplify data management in complex IT environments that have both file and block data requirements, HP has integrated 3PAR Utility Storage with its HP X9300 Network Storage Systems, based on IBRIX network attached storage (NAS) technology.
The integrated HP 3PAR Utility Storage simplify cloud application deployment by automatically provisioning data to the appropriate tier of capacity on demand. This enables clients to easily manage the rapid growth in unstructured file data such as multimedia content. A single HP 3PAR Utility Storage system can serve as a consolidation platform for cloud computing applications, large file-based workloads and enterprise database applications. This multitenant consolidation, or the ability to securely maintain multiple partitions of data on a single array, enables clients to deliver the appropriate storage performance and quality of service necessary for diverse workloads.
Accelerating deployment of Utility Storage for the cloud
Through advanced thin provisioning capabilities, HP 3PAR Storage Systems enable service providers and organizations to cost-effectively scale storage as they grow by increasing capacity utilization. Additionally, due to the platform’s multitenant functionality, clients can deliver guaranteed performance levels when dealing with massive consolidation and cloud workloads. Now that HP 3PAR Storage is part of HP CloudSystem, the solution can provide a unified method for provisioning and managing services across private, public and hybrid cloud environments.
The integration of HP 3PAR Utility Storage with HP CloudSystem centralizes the management of servers, storage and network resources under the HP Storage Provisioning Manager for the HP BladeSystem Matrix Operating Environment. As a result, clients can easily control a cloud infrastructure that spans servers, storage and networking via a single console. This unified management reduces the time required for new cloud application deployment from days to minutes(1) and improves administrative efficiency by up to 10 times.(2)Consolidating and eliminating file server sprawl
To further simplify data management, the HP X9300 Network Storage Gateway, based on the IBRIX scale-out file serving technology, can now leverage 3PAR Utility Storage systems for backend data storage. Clients can choose a high-performance, utility-based storage backend for file-based data while allowing applications that require block-level data access to co-exist on the same storage system.
Integration of 3PAR Utility Storage also adds new capabilities to the HP X9300 Network Storage System. For example, clients can integrate file and block storage while independently scaling each for maximum efficiency. As a result, clients get scale and policy-based file tiering coupled with block-level capacity optimization, thin provisioning and multitenant consolidation.
Together, the HP X9300 plus 3PAR solution can scale to a 16 petabyte namespace to simplify management and reduce storage capacity expenses by 50 percent(2) by eliminating over-provisioning.
