The Storage Works Division of HP
announced the launch of its next-generation storage products and
solutions including the P4000 G2 SAN, P2000 G3 Modular Smart Array
(MSA) System, LTO-5
Tape drives and cartridges in India. The
new solutions provides faster application performance, increased
scalability while reducing customer's risk of downtime and data
loss. These new products and solutions are targeted at small, medium
and large business with the aim to fulfill the storage needs in
virtualized and physical environments.
“With explosive data growth,
customers face many challenges including rapid demand for extra
capacity, faster access to information and the need for reliable
protection,” said Som Satsangi, Director- Enterprise Storage
Servers and Networking, HP India. “The next generation SAN storage
solutions from HP vastly improves capacity utilization while reducing
the customer's risk of downtime and data loss with a better total
cost of ownership. It integrates with HP's converged
infrastructure, helping customers to cost-effectively manage data
growth by providing instant access to storage capacity as per
business demand,” he added.
HP Storageworks P2000 G3 Modular
Smart Array (MSA) System
The new
StorageWorks P2000 G3
Modular Smart Array (MSA) System enables small to midsize customers
to effectively support rapid business growth with a flexible,
easy-to-use and affordable storage area network (SAN) solution. The
HP P2000 G3 helps customers scale their storage environments through
increased drive capacity. It also improves application availability
and performance with the latest 8GB Fibre Channel (FC) controller
technology. The P2000 G3 can be used for enterprise departmental
storage or to easily connect remote offices, allowing the business to
share data and make decisions faster. The HP P2000 G3 ensures
investment protection by allowing customers who have an existing HP
MSA2000 G1 or G2 FC Serial Attached SCSI or iSCSI model to upgrade
their systems by simply replacing the controller. Customers can also
easily transfer data from previous generation MSAs to the P2000 G3
through a 'data in place' process that migrates data securely.
“
HP StorageWorks P2000 G3 Modular
Smart Array is a flexible entry-level array that helps small and
midsized businesses (SMBs) as well as branch offices with limited IT
expertise easily manage and protect growing data to reduce business
downtime,” said Prakash Krishnamoorthy, Country Manager HP Storage
Works Divison, HP India. “By providing the flexibility to share
array resources over both FC and iSCSI protocols, it allows customers
to match the performance needs and budgetary constraints of diverse
departments”
HP Storageworks P4000 G2 SAN
solutions
The new HP StorageWorks P4000 G2 SAN
Solutions deliver high data availability, in both virtualized and
physical environments, through its unique Network RAID functionality.
Together with a new energy-efficient architecture, the P4000 G2 SAN
reduces customer's risk of downtime and data loss with a better
total cost of ownership. Each minute of downtime can cost a business
thousands of dollars. To protect against downtime, the P4000 G2 SAN
offers redundant components and hardware RAID to guard against disk
drive failures. In addition to these features, the P4000 G2 SAN
includes an innovative Network RAID functionality that goes one level
above hardware RAID by delivering data protection at the network
level against major power outage, complete system or site failure.
With the P4000 G2 SAN, storage is never the single point of failure
for a company's IT infrastructure. The P4000 G2 SAN is a key part
of implementing a Converged Infrastructure to ensure an
easy-to-manage, agile IT environment. The solution helps deliver
Virtual Resource Pools, which are virtualized collections of shared
server, storage and networking capacity that can be utilized on the
fly and repurposed to meet any business demand.
“The P4000 G2 SAN helps customers
maximise the gains of their virtual infrastructure — it allows
virtualized servers to instantly access virtual storage pools as
needed without any performance dips and providing highest
availability,” said Prakash Krishnamoorthy, Country
Manger-StorageWorks Division, HP India.
HP Storageworks LTO-5 Ultrium Tape
Drives
HP is expanding its Linear Tape Open
(LTO) technology portfolio with the upgraded HP StorageWorks LTO-5
Ultrium tape drives, which deliver improved data transfer speeds and
management capabilities. Available with the HP StorageWorks MSL tape
libraries, these new archive solutions enable businesses to better
manage information through enhanced data protection, disaster
recovery as well as long-term data retention operations. HP
StorageWorks LTO-5 tape solutions improve backup performance and
reduce data loss with built-in encryption. This prevents unlawful
access in the event of theft or malicious use by encoding data to
ensure it is unreadable to unauthorized users. With nearly double the
capacity of LTO-4 tape drives and encryption support, HP LTO-5 drives
can store more data at a lower cost while meeting data security
requirements.
“The New HP LTO-5 tape drives, tape
media and automated tape libraries offer significant efficiency gains
over previous generations,” said Prakash Krishnamoorthy, Country
Manager-Storage Works Divison, HP India. “The new range of LTO-5
Tape solutions deliver nearly double the capacity over LTO-4 allowing
companies to realize a massive reduction in the cost per gigabyte,”
he concluded.
