NetApp specializes in storage, HP is everywhere and l doubt they can give the best solution in this environment. On Oct 3, 2014 6:09 PM, "geoffrey gitagia via skunkworks" < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:
Wow from this , im better off going with the net app , has more bang and features and flash cache to come with unlike the 3par , which you need to get to the 7400 to get , this makes my work much easier.

N/A
N/A
*Data protection capabilities*
· RAID-DP, RAID4, Snapshot, SyncMirror, MetroCluster, DSM/MPIO
· FlexClone, SnapMirror, SnapVault
· File, Volume, or LUN level restore
· RAID 1,5,6(MP), DSM/MPIO
· Snapshot, Remote Copy, Peer Persistence (metro distance protection) – are add-on S/W
· LUN level restore
*Built-in efficiency technologies*
Snapshot, dedupe, compression, thin provisioning, RAID-DP, FlexVol, Disk Sanitization – all included with OS
· RAID 6(MP), Thin Provisioning – included with OS bundle
· Snapshots are add-on S/W
Why 3PAR: · Compelling performance with a 4-controller 7400 all-SSD SPC-1 benchmark of 258,078 IOPS at 0.86ms latency. 3PAR currently holds the fastest SPC-1 benchmark with their StoreServ 10800 though the latency was 13.67ms and the list price was $1.6M. HP claims the all-flash 7450 can achieve 900,000 4K read IOPS though it’s not a verified SPC benchmark – most likely Iometer driven workload.
· Good Thin Provisioning capabilities – particularly during migration of external fat volumes to create thinly provisioned volumes in new 3PAR arrays.
· Streamlined deployment provides pre-defined templates of disk type & capacity, RAID type, auto-tiering, & host groups for easy storage provisioning. EVA-like interface provides EVA customers with an easier transition to 3PAR arrays.
· In-line deduplication for all-flash 7450 only.
· New 1.9TB (effective capacity) SSD drive for 7450 only
· EVA/EMC Migrate or HP Peer Motion S/W offers non-disruptive migration from EVA, VNX, CX4, or 3PAR arrays to new 3PAR arrays. Peer Motion is also sold as tool to “federate” 3PAR arrays together for non-disruptive LUN movement between arrays.
· Good multi-tenant QoS capabilities that control IOP, MB/sec, & latency min/max New Six-Nines Availability Guarantee <http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/data-storage/data-storage-products.html?compURI=1649739#.U5eaMF7o06w> why net app:
· Single unified multi-protocol scale-up and scale-out architecture.
· Built-in storage efficiency features such as deduplication, compression, thin provisioning, RAID-DP, snapshots, etc. – all included with the OS.
· Unique space efficient vaulting provides fast and simple backup and recovery.
· Investment protection through non-disruptive data-in-place controller upgrades, clustering controllers of various age, size, & performance, virtualize EMC, HDS, HP, and E-series storage.
· Simple, unified, cluster-wide management from the low-end to the high-end reduces administrative burden across a highly scalable environment.
Bottom line:
Evaluate and decide
