Solid state drives are a game changer in the storage market. At this point, the performance benefits are common knowledge. But what might not be common knowledge is that SSDs have surpassed high speed spinning disk in capacity density. In the past 5 years, SSDs have increased in capacity by a magnitude of 38x while high speed spinning disks have only doubled
And HP has been helping to drive this transition by working very closely with our SSD suppliers. For example, we are the only major storage vendor to offer a 1.92 TB drive. Our patented Adaptive Sparing technology, which is unique to HP, let’s us work with the SSD vendors to take stock 1.6 TB drives and extend them to 1.92 based on the technology. That’s an increase in usable capacity per drive of up to 20%.
In June we announced this drive for the All-flash 7450 system and we are now extending this across the entire 3PAR Portfolio.
For customers that are interested in deploying Flash in smaller increments, we are also introducing a 480 cMLC Drive across the entire portfolio.

Our approach is unique because in ONE architecture we can deliver the right solution.
When value matters, when performance matters and when scale matters –
This includes the 7000 models (two o them: a 7200 and a 7400) where pricing starts at $25K (US list), the 7450 for accelerated application performance taking advantage of an all flash solution, and the 10000 models (10400 and 10800) that scale to 3.2PB’s.
One architecture means one OS that’s common across these platforms, one UI and Command Line so managing one model is the same as managing another and one common feature set so that the same rich set of data services is available regardless of model.

Solid state drives are a game changer in the storage market. At this point… the performance benefits are common knowledge…. But what might not be common knowledge is that SSDs have surpassed high speed spinning disk in capacity density. In the past 5 years, SSDs have increased in capacity by a magnitude of 38x while high speed spinning disks have only doubled
And HP has been helping to drive this transition by working very closely with our SSD suppliers. For example, we are the only major storage vendor to offer a 1.92 TB drive.

In June we announced this drive for the All-flash 7450 system and we are now extending this across the entire 3PAR Portfolio.
For customers that are interested in deploying Flash in smaller increments, we are also introducing a 480 cMLC Drive across the entire portfolio.
At HP Discover in June, we made a pretty bold statement by announcing the end of high-end auto-tiered arrays. For the first time, we delivered All-flash at $2/Gb usable capacity… the same cost as high speed spinning disk. We did this through HP’s hardware accelerated compaction technologies, including new Data deduplication for the 7450 as well as the 1.92 cMLC drive I just mentioned. But…. the upfront cost was still fairly significant with average ASPs of over $100K
Now, we are taking the next step to bring Flash to the mainstream by slashing the entry cost. Customer can now step into an all-flash array with a starting pricing point of just $35K. This is 50% below our major competitors.
You can now talk all-flash to new parts of the marketplace. This will significantly expand the market, because if customers can get flash at the same price as a typical midrange array with more performance, and less power, and using less space, why wouldn’t they do it?”
We are also making it much easier to deploy a little flash in each array.
Up until now, it wasn’t always cost effective to deploy flash in hybrid arrays. No thin deduplication and inefficient storage pools created lots of wasted capacity. And you didn’t reap all the promised performance benefits with response times around 5 ms.
This is all changing….
First, we are adding new compaction technologies including Inline Thin deduplication and Thin Clones software for the entire 3PAR portfolio. Previously, these were only available for the all-flash 7450. When these capabilities get added to the benefits of existing thin provisioning with zero-block deduplication, total useable capacity requirements for SSDs are reduced by more than 75%. It has never been more affordable to add a little flash to any hybrid array
We are also introducing Adaptive Flash Cache for all hybrid arrays. I’ll touch on this more in a couple of slides, but the two most important things to note is that it is included in the 3Par OS and it leverages SSDs to extend cache for significant accelerated performance.
The message you should be bringing to your customers is don’t just sit and spin! There has never been a better time to dip your toes into the flash pool and try a little….
All you need to take advantage of flash is just 4 SSDs. With thin deduplication, we can reduce your usable capacity requirements by 75% and you also get to reap the benefits of Adaptive Flash Cache for accelerated performance
One note on Adaptive Flash Cache – at this point the 480 cMLC is not suitable for Adaptive Flash Cache, but all other SSDs are supported. The 480 cMLC is currently under investigation.
