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 |
||
· 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· 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 Alli 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--
