HP has introduced a new all-solid state drive (SSD) configuration for HP 3PAR P10000 Storage which enhances the application performance of an organisation, while reducing operational costs and IT complexity.
The new all-SSD configuration eliminates the performance issues with a single tier of solid state storage while delivering the same performance as the existing HP 3PAR P10000.
HP’s new release reduces client cost per input/output operations per second to 70% and cost per kilowatt hour by more than 80%
The all-SSD HP 3PAR P10000 Storage is suitable for performance-driven applications and supports up to 512 SSDs per array.
HP 3PAR P10000 systems allow clients to combine SSDs with traditional Fibre Channel drives and deploy HP 3PAR Adaptive Optimization software to achieve autonomic storage tiering.
Adaptive Optimization distributes data to the right storage tier at the right time, reducing data-centre management costs and maximising system performance.
HP Converged Infrastructure integrates SSDs across servers and storage, allowing clients to improve application performance while reducing operational complexity and cost.
The new HP Smart Cache for the HP ProLiant Generation 8 (Gen8) servers will come with advanced functionality that utilises SSDs for caching to accelerate workload performance. It will use HP Smart Analytics technology to assign frequently accessed "hot data" to high-performance SSD drives.
The "smart caching" capability will help clients achieve six times higher performance for transactional workloads as well as 50% more performance for video-streaming applications, compared to previous generations.
HP also is extending the functionality of HP Smart Cache within HP ProLiant Gen8 servers to a converged application with HP 3PAR Storage applications.
The collaborative-caching capability will autonomically copy data in real time from the HP 3PAR Storage arrays to the HP Smart Array SSD cache on the HP ProLiant Gen8 server.
