... are you getting the most out of virtualization?

• Administrators roles

have changed

• What is important in

our infrastructure is not

what it use to be

Virtualization changes the data center

New Challenges exist that you must solve

Modern Storage delivers essential capabilities

• More flexibility and

mobility = greater

management burden

• Dynamic provisioning

requires storage flexibility

and efficiency

• Storage is critical to

successful

virtualization

• Modern architectures

can help you optimize,

simplify and save

your datacenter

Management Poor visibility and complex

Availability Storage needs to match

resiliency features of virtualization platforms

Scalability & Agility Unable to meet the

demand and high growth of dynamic virtual

environments

Efficiency

Storage capacity costs dilute savings, resource utilization

remains low and inefficient

Performance Storage I/O is the bottleneck, limits VM density, virtual desktop

deployments and ability to virtualize

tier 1 applications

But, storage gaps impact virtualization ROI

Why VM Density is important to ROI

Determines in large part the total cost

of any infrastructure

Dramatically lowers virtual

infrastructure acquisition and

operational costs

• CAPEX Benefits

− Greater CPU/memory utilization

− Reduced licensing costs from software that is

licensed by hardware

− Greater scalability, and therefore better ROI

• OPEX Benefits

− Reduced administration of server hardware

and hypervisor software

− Lower power consumption and cooling

Not all VM’s are created

equal

Different applications have

different IO profiles


HP 3PAR Storage is the tier-1 storage benchmark for virtualization and cloud

Designed from the ground-up for virtualization

Cut capacity requirements by 50% 4th gen ‘zero-detect’ ASIC for thin provisioning, conversion, and

persistence. Adaptive Optimization for block level tiering.

Spend 90% less time managing storage

Autonomic (self-managing) features plus deep VMware

integration with vCenter and VMware Recovery Manager

2X VM density per server –

GUARANTEED!* Multi-tenant design plus hardware-based integration with

VMware VAAI optimizes performance and VM density.

*as compared to legacy storage arrays


Increase consolidation savings by doubling your VM Density

with HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage and VMware

HP 3PAR StoreServ gets virtual guarantee

Qualified customers are guaranteed

• A minimum increase of 2x VM density in their

existing VMware environment,

• When they migrate from their legacy storage array

to HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage

• If not, HP will make up the difference with additional

capacity, and the related software and support


The architecture behind 2X VM density per server

Optimize performance: next-gen architecture

Fine grained virtualization

Disks ‘chunklets’ mapped to virtual volumes for robust

performance.

System-wide striping

VM datastores striped across all system resources for

maximum performance without large capacity

purchases

Mesh-active controller design

All controllers active on each datastore so the entire

array is powering each VM

Mixed workload optimization

Split control and data paths with 4th gen ASIC so

sequential I/O does not impact transactional I/O
