check out below analysis- *HA Product Specification* *NetApp* *HP* *FAS255x* *FAS8020* *StoreServ 7200* *StoreServ 74x0* *Architecture* Unified SAN and NAS; Scale-out and Scale-up. Supports 3rd Party arrays with FlexArray S/W SAN only (FC & iSCSI); NAS requires Windows or IBRIX gateways; No 3rd party array support *Scalability* SAN: 8 nodes NAS: 24 nodes SAN: 8 nodes NAS: 24 nodes 2 nodes 2-4 nodes *Max Host ports * 12 28 12 24 *Max drives * 144 (240 SSD) 480 (240 SSD) 240 (120 SSD) 480 (240 SSD) 24 SFF drive slots in base; add-on shelves can be SFF or LFF *Drive types * 100GB, 200GB SSD; 300GB, 450GB, 600GB, 900GB SAS; 1TB, 2TB, 3TB, 4TB SATA 100GB, 200GB, 400GB, 480GB, 960GB SSD; 300GB, 450GB, 900GB, 1.9TB (7450 only) SAS; 1TB, 2TB, 3TB, 4TB NL SAS *Auto-tiering* *Flash Pools* - included with OS *FlashCache* - included with OS *Adaptive Optimization* - sub-LUN *Dynamic Optimization* - full-LUN *Protocols* 16Gb FC, FCoE, iSCSI, NFS, CIFS, HTTP, FTP (1GbE & 10GbE) 8Gb FC, 10Gb iSCSI/FCoE; NAS requires Windows or IBRIX gateways *Memory * 48GB 48GB 24GB 32-64 GB (7400) 64-128GB (7450) *Flash Cache, Flash Pools* 4TB (Flash Pool) 3TB 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.

Hi All i have been looking at these 2 products for what seems to be ages , can someone try and differentiate them in terms of service and performance
