REASONS FLASH STORAGE IS THE LOGICAL CHOICE FOR ENTERPRISE BUSINESS5 How to increase operational efficiency and agility with the flash-optimized data center
For every business challenge, there’s a storage solution Some of the biggest operational challenges of business are caused by
storage incapacity. The fact is, storage capacity sits at the core of a
business’ ability to scale resources and respond on demand. It’s all about
the bits and bytes of data that determine how business gets done and how
innovation gets to market. Data drives efficiency and is the foundation
of decision-making. Within stores of data reside intellectual property,
business intelligence, analytic insight — everything that makes an
operation run.
It takes an advanced storage solution to accommodate the vast amounts
of structured and unstructured data now in existence. Case in point: It’s
estimated that data storage requirements are growing at a rate of 40
percent per year.1 The reason? Applications demand it, users generate
it, and now IT managers must optimize it. The problem? Data demand is
straining the capacity of legacy server technology.
Flash forwardStorage relief can be found in the all-flash approach that provides
density-optimized appliances that deliver flexible, scalable, and reliable
storage for about the cost of spinning disk. Within the next 24 months,
data centers will be running about 50 percent of their storage on flash.2
Storage solutions like HPE 3PAR StoreServ, powered by Intel® Xeon®
processors, deliver petabyte-scale capacity with high input/output
operations per second (IOPS). It’s turning storage from a cost center to a
business enabler.
What’s your storage story? � 79 percent of IT professionals say management of storage growth is a
leading challenge1
� 47 percent of enterprises report data growth rates as one of their top
three challenges1
Did you know?The world’s data will grow 50 times
over the next decade.1
Storage performance matters. In fact, performance is the number-one
driver of storage characteristics — even more so than price.2 This comes
as no surprise since companies won’t realize a healthy return on
investment (ROI) on their applications if storage causes application
performance to fail.
What’s holding them back? IOPS. It’s an app killer made famous by legacy
hard-disk drives (HDD) that operate at 2-4ms latency speed with an IOPS
throughput in the thousands.3 That might have been adequate for last-
generation apps but today’s innovation is moving at sub-millisecond rates.
Flash-optimized storage arrays built with solid-state disks (SSDs) can
process at the speed of millions of IOPS per second, outperforming the
pace of HDD in every way that counts.3
Get the power to performProducts like HPE 3PAR StoreServ, powered by Intel® Xeon® processors,
deliver with high-density flash drives that yield higher IOPS with lower
latency to keep applications up and running. How fast does it move? As
fast as 3M IOPS with less than 1ms of latency to ensure that nothing gets
in the way of your application performance.4
Latency holding your apps back? Fix it in a flash
#1 PERFORMANCE TO POWER YOUR PATH TO IT MODERNIZATION
4 ways flash keeps apps going:
1. Reduced latency
2. Higher IOPS
3. Persistent memory
4. Unified block, file, and object access
With HPE 3PAR File Persona, you can unlock the native file and object
graphical access capabilities within any of your HPE 3PAR StoreServ
Storage arrays, powered by Intel® Xeon® processors. This approach
offers a unique solution that incorporates multi-protocol support into the
system architecture to deliver a tightly integrated, converged solution
for provisioning both block volumes and file shares from a single storage
system. Unlike traditional solutions, this converged solution extends
the architectural benefits that the HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage system
already delivers for block workloads to file shares and object access in a
way that is simple to deploy and administer.
HPE 3PAR File Persona enables a rich set of file protocols, file data
services, and an Object Access API (REST), and gives you the ability to
provision file shares in addition to block volumes from a single graphical
user or programmatic management interface. This solution extends
the spectrum of storage workloads natively addressed by the system’s
default Block Persona. The Block Persona is ideal for your virtualization,
database, and application workloads with the File Persona enabling
home directory and user shares, enhanced content management and
collaboration, and data preservation and governance.
Serve a broad spectrum of workloads

HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage, powered by Intel® Xeon® processors,
supports federated data mobility across HPE 3PAR and other arrays so
you can manage resources at the data center level rather than the system
level. Peer-based storage federation lets you move data and workloads
between arrays without impact to applications, users, or services. Scale
massively without sacrificing simplicity, pool resources without the cost
and complexity of external virtualization appliances, and flex to meet
unpredictable workloads and business demands.
Improve business continuityMaintain business continuity in the event of a disaster or data
center-wide outage with replication and recovery between systems.
Use these relationships to allow server and application maintenance
operations to take place non-disruptively. Workloads can be
unpredictable but that doesn’t mean storage has to be. As business needs
shift, flash storage aligns with 100 percent predictability and 6 nines of
reliability. HPE 3PAR StoreServ, strengthened by Intel®, takes storage
availability to a higher level by assuring 99.9999 percent data availability4
and safeguarding every byte of your data with built-in redundancy and
fault tolerance, along with point-in-time snapshots to help you store and
recover with less risk of application error or data loss.
Handle unpredictable and dynamic application demands with ease
