Hewlett-Packard has upgraded its StoreOnce Backup family with new data deduplication applications that will deliver backup performance of up to 100TB per hour and data recovery of 40TB per hour.
StoreOnce is a federated deduplication application, which means data is deduplicated once using a single technology and then moved anywhere without having to be added back in.
The company has also introduced a StoreOnce Catalyst software that will minimise recovery time, capacity needs and bandwidth costs as well as offer enhanced backup-and-restore throughput when combined with the enhanced HP StoreOnce B6200 Backup.
Th new StoreOnce Catalyst software allows clients to deduplicate data on application servers or backup servers before it is transferred to a centralised HP StoreOnce Backup system.
HP has also introduced Data Protector 7 software, a protection application that understands concepts in data, which changes the scope and benefits of data protection. It also features governance tools that enable contextual backup and recovery of information.
Data Protector 7 software is powered by Autonomy’s IDOL (Intelligent Data Operating Layer) to deliver increased productivity. Clients can now protect, find and recover information based on the meaning and concepts contained within the data.
The company also said it has improved the efficiency of server and storage connectivity with HP Virtual Connect for 3PAR with Flat SAN technology.
It reduces the storage protocol layers, cutting latency by 55% and speeding operations such as virtual machine I/O and consolidation density, the company said.
New Flat SAN technology can reduce storage networking costs by 50% and enables 2.5 times faster provisioning compared to competitive offerings. It is capable of connecting up to 768 blade servers to a single 3PAR array without a dedicated SAN.
The HP Automated Network Management 9.2 offers reliability, improved network performance and helps IT organisations meet business demands via an efficient, secure unified network-management application.
Based on HP Converged Infrastructure, these applications enable organisations to shift resources from managing and integrating traditional, inflexible technology silos to an IT infrastructure that supports process innovation and strategic initiatives.
Clients can use HP Data Protector 7 software, Symantec NetBackup or Symantec Backup Exec to manage deduplication and data movement in their HP StoreOnce Catalyst environment.
