Traditional storage vendors are selling you more than twice the capacity you actually need. This additional capacity not only inflates your CAPEX, but also the OPEX associated with powering and cooling all of those unnecessary drives, not to mention the additional real estate, facilities costs, and administrative overhead. But perhaps the highest cost is the impact to our environment. That’s why, when executing to your green IT initiatives, you must not only take into account the power efficiency of the equipment you deploy, but its overall efficiency.
Have you been asked to accept tradeoffs between economic prudence and environmental friendliness? How about cost and performance? With 3PAR, these tradeoffs are a thing of the past. Our arrays consume 60% fewer disks and can be managed in 90% less time than traditional arrays, yet they also deliver industry-leading performance. That’s because we don’t just design storage systems that are more energy efficient, we design utility storage that is more efficient, period.
Even customers who do not take advantage of 3PAR’s unique thin technologies, thin copy applications, or fat-to-thin volume conversions still benefit from built-in energy savings with 3PAR arrays. For example, a traditional monolithic storage system from a leading storage vendor requires 44% more power than a 3PAR InServ T-Class array that contains the same number of drives.
