HPE 3PAR LDAP
Support Native support for lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) within the HPE 3PAR OS
delivers centralized user authentication and authorization using a standard protocol for managing
access to IT resources. With support for LDAP, you can now integrate HPE 3PAR Utility StoreServ
Storage with standard, open enterprise directory services. The result is simplified security
administration with centralized access control and identity management.
HPE 3PAR RAID MP (Multi-Parity)
HPE 3PAR RAID MP (Multi-Parity) introduces Fast RAID 6 technology backed by the accelerated
performance and Rapid RAID Rebuild capabilities of the 3PAR ASIC. 3PAR RAID MP is supported on
all HPE 3PAR StoreServ models and delivers extra RAID protection that prevents data loss as a
result of double disk failures. RAID MP delivers this enhanced protection while maintaining
performance levels within 15% of RAID 10 and with capacity overheads comparable to popular RAID
5 modes. For this reason, 3PAR RAID MP is ideal for large disk drive configurations-for example,
Serial ATA (SATA) drives above 1 TB in capacity.
HPE 3PAR Rapid Provisioning
The HPE 3PAR OS eliminates array planning by delivering instant, application-tailored provisioning
through the fine-grained virtualization of lower-level components. Provisioning is managed
intelligently and autonomically. Massively parallel and fine-grained striping of data across internal
resources assures high and predictable service levels for all workload types. Service conditions
remain high and predictable as the use of the system grows or in the event of a component failure
while traditional storage planning, change management, and array-specific professional services are
eliminated.
HPE 3PAR Scheduler
HPE 3PAR Scheduler also helps automate storage management, reduce administration time, and
decrease the chance of administrative error. Scheduler does this by giving users full control over
creation and deletion of virtual copy snapshots-a process that is now completely automated with
HPE 3PAR Utility StoreServ Storage. When used in conjunction with Autonomic Groups, HPE 3PAR
Scheduler automates virtual copy snapshots across multiple boot and data volumes with full write
consistency across all these different volumes.
HPE 3PAR Adaptive Flash Cache
Adaptive Flash Cache provides DRAM cache extension by leveraging HPE 3PAR first in class
virtualization technologies. This functionality allows dedicating a portion of SSDs capacity as an
augmentation of the HPE 3PAR Array primary cache, reducing application response time for read-
intensive I/O workloads and improving write throughput in mixed workload environments
HPE 3PAR Thin Technologies
HPE 3PAR Thin Suite is the most comprehensive thin software suite available. With the Thin Suite,
virtual and cloud data centers can:
• Start Thin: HPE 3PAR Thin Provisioning is the most comprehensive thin provisioning
software solution available. Since its introduction in 2002, 3PAR Thin Provisioning has
become widely considered the gold standard in thin provisioning. It leverages HPE 3PAR's
dedicate-on-
write capabilities to make organizations more efficient and more green, allowing
them to purchase only the disk capacity they actually need and only as they actually need it.
• Get Thin: With HPE 3PAR Thin Conversion, a technology refresh no longer requires a
terabyte-for-terabyte replacement, but instead offers the opportunity to eliminate up to 75%
of your legacy capacity, simply and rapidly. This savings alone can save up to 60% on the
cost of a technology refresh. HPE 3PAR Thin Conversion software makes this possible by
leveraging the zero-detection capabilities within the HPE 3PAR ASIC and Thin Engine -
HPE 3PAR's unique virtualization mapping engine for space reclamation - to power the
