HP Launches Next-Gen SAN and TAPE Storage Solutions

The Storage Works Division of HP has announced the launch of its next-generation storage products and solutions including the P4000 G2 SAN, P2000 G3 Modular Smart Array (MSA) System and LTO-5 Ultrium Tape drives and cartridges in India. The new solutions provides faster application performance, increased scalability while reducing customers risk of downtime&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 customers risk of downtime and data loss with a better total cost of ownership. It integrates with HPs converged infrastructure, helping customers to cost-effectively manage data growth by providing instant access to storage capacity as per business demand.

The new HP 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 8-gigabit (Gb) 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.Â

Customers can also easily transfer data from previous generation MSAs to the P2000 G3 through a data in place process that migrates data securely.

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, HP StorageWorks Division, HP India.

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.
