HP Storage has gone from being ‘The Little Storage Company (unit?) That Could’ to what it is today: a very strong contender for Top 3 in the enterprise storage space, together with market leaders EMC and NetApp.
One of the reasons for this meteoric rise has been HP’s 3PAR line, which has, and is continually delivering what it’s users say is great innovation and unparalleled performance on a regular basis.
The big announcement from HP Storage at this year’s discover was their new ability to deliver an all-flash 3PAR storage array, the HP 3PAR StoreServ 7450, that is able to be cost-comparable to rival spinning disc-based storage arrays once storage deduplication is factored in.
The following two images show the benefits achievable using the new all-flash 3PAR StoreServ 7450 over an EMC VMAX 10K.
This is the coolness of the linear scalability of the 3PAR StoreServ 7450 over a ‘comparable Pure Storage solution.
At this year’s HP Discover Las Vegas, I had the opportunity to be in a Coffee Talk discussion with David Scott, GM of HP Storage, and Siamak Nazari, Chief Software Architect for 3PAR.
