HP Eliminates Barriers to Storage Modernization With 3PAR Online
Import for EMC Storage
Replacing Old EMC VNX and CLARiiON CX4 Arrays With 3PAR
StoreServ Storage Is Now Easier Than Migrating to EMC VNX2
PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwired - May 1, 2014) - HP (NYSE: HPQ)
today introduced HP 3PAR Online Import support for migrating data
from EMC VNX(1) and EMC CLARiiON CX4 arrays to HP 3PAR StoreServ
Storage, enabling customers to easily and quickly modernize legacy
storage infrastructure.
With support for HP EVA Storage and now EMC VNX(1) and CLARiiON
CX4 storage systems, customers can save time and money by
performing self-directed platform migrations without professional
services engagements or external hardware appliances.
The introduction of virtualization, cloud and IT-as-a-Service
workloads into the data center adds unpredictable demands on legacy
storage, compromising an organization's ability to be agile and
efficient. Additionally, moving to a new storage system often
requires resource-intensive planning, change management and data
migration.
To overcome the roadblocks that enterprises face when
modernizing storage, HP 3PAR Online Import software now allows
customers to migrate data easily from EMC VNX(1) and EMC CLARiiON
CX4 systems to any HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000-Series, 10000-Series or
all-flash 7450 array. This user-directed migration utility allows
upgrades from legacy EMC arrays to HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage
without requiring the use of host resources, specialized host
software or additional hardware appliances. By using federated
storage innovations and eliminating reliance on host resources,
data migration with 3PAR Online Import is less disruptive to
applications and can performed faster than other methods.
For existing EMC VNX customers, the latest generation of EMC VNX
arrays -- or VNX2 -- use an operating system that is not supported
on earlier VNX models, so the upgrade path from a first-generation
VNX array to VNX2 requires a full data migration. Replacing EMC
VNX(1) and CLARiiON CX4 arrays with VNX2 requires 40 percent to 80
percent more commands than upgrading to HP 3PAR StoreServ,(2) and
involves either data migration tools that consume host resources
and impact application performance(3) or necessitates the use of
costly additional hardware appliances.(4)
"IT managers are challenged to increase business agility and
efficiency but are constantly held back by gaps in fragmented and
complex legacy storage systems," said David Scott, senior vice
president and general manager, HP Storage. "HP 3PAR StoreServ
Storage delivers features not available on EMC VNX and now we're
removing the data migration roadblock to enable affordable tier-1
storage for trapped EMC customers."
Reduce the cost of storage modernization and data migration
According to industry analysts and the professional IT community at
Wikibon, data migration has traditionally been a source of pain for
customers. A Wikibon study states that the time to provision new
arrays averages five months and migration costs exceed one-half of
the initial array cost itself.(5)
To help customers reduce storage costs, HP 3PAR Online Import
software leverages the HP 3PAR Gen4 ASIC to drive efficient,
inline, fat-to-thin conversion that takes fully provisioned (or
fat) volumes from a legacy storage system and uses zero-block
deduplication technology to convert them into thin-provisioned
volumes on HP 3PAR StoreServ. It is this built-in fat-to-thin
conversion capability that enables HP to offer a 50 percent
capacity savings guarantee to EMC customers as part of the Get Thin
Guarantee program.(6)
HP 3PAR Online Import software is provided to new HP 3PAR
StoreServ Storage customers at no charge for 180 days as part of
the HP 3PAR Operating System (OS) Suite and does not require
professional services. This means that migrating from older EMC
VNX(1) and EMC CLARiiON CX4 storage systems to HP 3PAR StoreServ
Storage is now extremely cost-efficient and, in many cases, less
costly than migrating to VNX2 since no additional hardware is ever
required.
Increase agility with storage born for virtualization and IT as
a Service HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage is a multitenant storage
platform with tier-1 resiliency features and a single operating
system that spans high-end, midrange, all-flash and hybrid arrays.
This allows customers to reduce administrative complexity via
common management across multiple classes of storage. In addition,
customers can increase resource utilization by consolidating
diverse and unpredictable workloads onto a single system and by
nondisruptively load balancing between HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage
systems. A common architecture also allows customers to upgrade to
the latest version of the HP 3PAR OS on any model HP 3PAR StoreServ
System.(7)
HP will be in Las Vegas May 5-7 to promote the ease of migration
from EMC VNX(1) and CLARiiON CX4 storage arrays to HP 3PAR
StoreServ Storage as part of the "72 Hours of Yes" event. EMC
customers in Las Vegas May 4-7 can tweet #72hoursofyes to request a
complimentary ride from the airport, coffee or anything else to
make their trip more enjoyable. The HP Storage Yes Team will try to
say "yes" to as many fun and appropriate requests as possible.
