HP today announced the integration of 3PAR Utility Storage across the HP Converged Infrastructure portfolio to simplify scalable cloud computing, and introduced new storage solutions for virtualization and data deduplication.
This integration enables clients to optimize cloud delivery with features like automated storage tiering to improve performance, and thin storage offerings to eliminate over-provisioning.
“Our clients tell us their journey to the cloud will be one of the most critical transitions for them this decade,” said Walid Gomaa, StorageWorks Business Unit Manager and Sales Manager, HP Middle East. “HP 3PAR Utility Storage meets their demand for a new storage architecture specifically designed for IT as a service. The integration of 3PAR with Converged Infrastructure is ahead of schedule and HP is poised to take clients to levels of agility and efficiency they’ve never experienced before.”
HP claims the new combination will help organisations seeking to consolidate storage hardware and respond to explosive data growth to address both of these challenges with converged block-and-file storage on a single storage array. HP also has simplified data management with solutions built on converged storage, server and networking platforms to provide clients with unified management and a lower total cost of ownership.
