Hp 3par storeserv file services provide integrated

HP 3PAR StoreServ File Services provide integrated capabilities not found on
unified storage, enabling you to deploy cost effective solutions with advanced file -
serving capabilities, and maximize efficiency, security, and high availability.
This solution enables you to meet the unpredictability of changing workloads in
today’s storage environments - Today, you’re running VMware over fibre channel,
tomorrow you want to run Hyper-V over SMB3? - dynamically reprovision storage
on the same platform as your business evolves.
The difference compared to other solutions is in the underlying storage platform –
3PAR StoreServ.
Unlike other platforms, 3PAR’s federat ed, scale-out architecture is not burdened
with legacy of designs created decades ago. This is why we are able to offer
guarantees to double the VM density and save 50% capacity. It is why we are able
to deliver the All Flash 3PAR 7450 Array we’ve just announced.
The setup consists of a two node HP StoreEasy 3830 Gateway Storage cluster
with HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage.

3PAR StoreServ file controllers

With the 3PAR StoreServ File Controller you can provision file shares and
volumes on 3PAR from a single management interface.

It automatically identifies thinly provisioned volumes and can alert the
administrator when thresholds are reached. When a user deletes a file on a
share, storage on the underlying 3Par volume is also automatically released
for thin persistence. This also means that the granular block-level dedup
which saves capacity on the file system, also saves capacity on the 3PAR
LUN.

When a user copies files between shares, the copy operation is offloaded to
the 3Par array which is orders of magnitude faster and saves network
bandwidth. This is especially useful for copying large files such as database
log files and videos.

Coupled with CLX for 3PAR, failovers are automatic and transparent across
sites.

Runs Windows Storage Server 2012 OS so it offers the best experience for
windows clients, but is also very capable of serving files to Linux/Unix users.

Array Integration

3PAR runs SMI-S natively on the controller.

Easy Provisioning of file shares for heterogeneous clients, such as Linux,
UNIX and Windows Clients or even for Applications such as SQL Server,
Hyper-V or VMWare.

Supports a variety of protocols out of the box, including iSCSI, CIFS/ SMB 1,
SMB 2.x, SMB 3.0, NFSv3, NFSv4.1, FTP(s), HTTP(s) and WebDAV.

Allocate less data and reclaim storage automatically with Thin Provisioning
integration that provides standardized notifications when storage thresholds
are reached, and releases storage automatically when it is no longer needed.
