3PAR Utility Storage Technologies
3PAR’s pioneering autonomic, thin, and green storage technologies combine built-in virtualization and industry-leading performance with innovative hardware design and software features that make storage simple and efficient. It is this overall efficiency that makes 3PAR not just more energy-efficient than traditional storage, but more efficient, period.

InSpire ArchitectureNowhere is 3PAR’s “less is more” philosophy more apparent than in our revolutionary
3PAR InSpire® Architecture. After all, why grow out of your storage when you can invest in storage that grows with you?
The clustered design behind
3PAR InServ® Storage Servers allows you to purchase and deploy resources only as you actually need them, achieving high levels of performance and scalability with far less hardware. This means that, over the lifetime of your storage, you will purchase less while actually using more. Start with as little as 2.3 TB and scale to as much as 600 TB within a single system.

Autonomic Storage TieringLooking to grow your business but not your budget? With autonomic storage tiering on
3PAR InServ Storage Servers, you can increase service levels but not costs. 3PAR's autonomic approach to service level optimization pairs data with the most cost-effective resource capable of meeting its service level requirements at any given time.

Autonomic ManagementWhat’s the secret to reducing storage administration time by up to 90%? It’s simple: designing storage that is not only efficient, but also intelligent. For example, automation features within the
InForm® Operating System enable datacenters to simplify, automate, and expedite storage management by handling provisioning and change management autonomically—intelligently, at a sub-system level, without administrator intervention.

New Thin TechnologiesAs the storage vendor that set the gold standard for thin provisioning, it should come as no surprise that 3PAR is also the first vendor to give you the ability to take legacy fat volumes and convert them over to thin ones. Or that 3PAR is also the first storage vendor to integrate thin technology with server file systems to enable automated space reclamation. In fact, 3PAR is the only vendor that offers a comprehensive thin strategy that not only allows you to
start thin, but to
get thin and
stay thin.
The combination of thin software and hardware innovations unique to the 3PAR Utility Storage platform can help you meet your green IT goals as well as performance and service level objectives with 50 to 75% fewer disks than traditional storage. Thin technologies from 3PAR can also save you up to 60% on the cost of a technology refresh and then help you keep CAPEX and OPEX low over time to maximize your storage ROI.

Green Storage TechnologiesHave 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. 95% of 3PAR users say they would recommend 3PAR Utility Storage as a strategic component of any Green IT initiative. That's because our arrays consume 60% fewer disks and can be managed in 90% less time than traditional arrays, yet they also deliver industry-leading performance.
