HPE XP7 Array Manager Suite - license - 1 TB capacity

HPE XP7 Array Manager Suite consists of Array Manager software, Resource Partition software, External Storage Software and Thin Provisioning Software. Array Manager software provides web-based volume management, resource allocation, access control, and data security for your XP7 Storage. Configure and manage data volumes for most effective use of your XP7. Partition array resources to isolate applications, reserve cache memory for your most frequently accessed data, and control host port usage so that your most critical applications have the port bandwidth they need. Configure, manage, and secure all host access to the XP7 so that you have efficient access to your data. Create read-only volumes for archiving and data retention, and securely delete your data when necessary. Thin Provisioning Software allows you to supply storage capacity to your applications from a pool of virtualized storage. By enabling you to allocate your anticipated future storage capacity needs from virtual storage, HPE XP7 Thin Provisioning Software reduces the amount of physical drive capacity initially required. As utilization of physical drive space increases over time, you can purchase more drive capacity as it is needed, and install it without affecting your applications. By removing the guessing from capacity planning, HPE XP7 Thin Provisioning reduces the cost of volume management. Resource Partition allows role based access control of XP7 resources. It allows storage administrators to partition XP7 resources, at physical and logical level and to assign these resources to sub-administrators while retaining overall control. Administrators can partition a XP7 Storage at a physical level (ports, hosts, LDEVs and Parity Groups) and dedicate part of their arrays for specific requirements. They can also partition at a logical level (Host Groups and LDEVs) and keep ports, Parity Groups and External Storage as a shared infrastructure. HPE XP7 Resource Partition software is ideal for a multi-tenant environment set up where dedicated subadministrators need to manage the IT infrastructure needs of their respective business units. At the same time, it allows the datacenter administrator retain complete control of XP7 Storage resources. Datacenter administrators can decide to partition XP7 Storage resources either at a logical level to improve storage utilization efficiency or at a physical level to improve quality of service and avoid data and access breaches across multiple tenants.

HPE XP7 External Storage allows you to host XP7 Storage LUNs on select external storage subsystems. XP7 External Storage allows you to tier storage capabilities and provision a XP7 solution to optimize return on IT investment - letting you focus high-performance/high availability native XP7 Storage capacity against your most mission-critical data while hosting less critical data on cost optimized external storage subsystems. Data stored on external devices connected behind a XP7 appear to a server to be stored inside the XP7. XP7 External Storage provides significant consolidation scalability - up to 255 Petabytes (PB) of external storage can be configured behind a single XP7 Storage. Coupled with the significant cost advantages that external storage systems can provide, you can confidently scale your XP7 solution to simplify configuration complexity and reduce ongoing management cost. XP7 External Storage is compatible with a wide range of XP7 software tools, including XP7 Business Copy for local replication, XP7 Continuous Access for remote replication, and XP7 Auto LUN for performance optimization
