About HPE 3 PAR Storage 

The HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 Storage is a storage solution that provides flexible enterprise Tier 1 storage at a midrange price. It's designed to deliver the performance of a flash-optimized architecture while maintaining resiliency, efficiency, and data mobility. The system offers versatility, performance, and density, supporting a range of options including the convergence of block and file protocols, all-flash array performance, and the use of spinning media to optimize costs. The HPE 3PAR StoreServ 8000 Storage is available in four models: 8200, 8400, 8440, and 8450, allowing users to start small and grow without complex upgrades.

The HPE 3PAR 8000 QuickSpecs -HPE 3PAR 8000 QuickSpecs

Key features include:

• • Enterprise Tier 1 Storage: Provides enterprise-grade storage capabilities at a midrange price point.

  • Flash-Optimized Architecture: Built to leverage the performance advantages of flash technology.

  • Data Mobility and Resiliency: Designed for seamless data movement between systems and offers high availability through persistent technologies.

  • Cost Reduction: The HPE 3PAR Gen5 Thin Express ASIC provides hardware acceleration for thin technologies, including inline deduplication, to reduce costs by up to 75%.

  • Versatility: Supports a combination of block and file protocols, all-flash arrays, and spinning media.

  • Data Services: Offers rich Tier-1 data services, quad-node resiliency, and simple and efficient data protection.

  • Scalability: Allows users to start with a smaller model and seamlessly upgrade for greater scalability as needed. Upto 4 controller nodes, 480 SSDs/HDDs and 3.3PB of raw storage capacity.

Advanced Data Protection Technologies 

• Persistent Technologies for High Availability:

  • Quad-Node Resiliency: The 8000 series can be configured with up to four controller nodes (on the 8400, 8440, and 8450 models), providing redundancy and failover capabilities. This "mesh-active" architecture ensures that even in the event of a component failure, the system remains operational.

  • Persistent Cache and Ports: These technologies work together to maintain service levels and prevent downtime during component failures. For example, Persistent Cache protects against the loss of data in cache, while Persistent Ports allow host connections to remain active even if a host port fails, ensuring continuous access to data.

  • RAID Protection: The system supports various RAID levels (RAID 0, 1, 5, and 6) to protect data against drive failures. RAID levels provide different levels of redundancy and performance, allowing you to choose the best option for your specific workload needs.

  • Remote Copy: This feature enables flexible and transparent remote replication of data between HPE 3PAR systems. It supports various replication modes (synchronous, asynchronous, and near-synchronous) to meet different recovery point objectives (RPOs), allowing for disaster recovery across metropolitan distances.

  • Virtual Copy (Snapshots): This technology creates point-in-time, "thin-aware" snapshots of data. This is a highly efficient way to create copies for rapid application recovery. Since snapshots are "thin," they only consume physical capacity for changed data, minimizing storage usage without compromising performance.

  • Peer Persistence: This advanced replication feature allows two HPE 3PAR systems to act as a single, continuous storage system, presenting a transparent failover to hosts. This is a critical component for disaster recovery, as it enables automatic failover and failback, minimizing downtime in the event of an outage at one site.

Sustainable IT: Environmental Benefits of Refurbished Enterprise Storage

For IT managers focused on sustainable practices, here’s why refurbished enterprise storage matters:

• Reduces E-Waste: Extends the life of existing hardware, significantly cutting down on electronic waste and the environmental impact of manufacturing new systems.

• Supports Circular Economy: Aligns with principles that reduce your data center's carbon footprint and promote long-term eco-friendly infrastructure.

• Aids Sustainability Targets: Directly contributes to meeting corporate goals like reducing Scope 3 emissions and achieving ESG objectives related to waste reduction and resource efficiency.

Incorporating refurbished storage offers both environmental and operational value for responsible resource management.
