3PAR Factoids

  • Four out of the top five leading analyst-rated service providers in the world use HP 3PAR.
  • The number 1 platform 3PAR has displaced in the market over its ten year history is Symmetrix/DMX/VMAX. 
  • HP 3PAR wide-striping delivers idiot-proof performance, without the complexity of having to create and  manage metaLUNS and things like that. DMX/VMAX can’t do this.
  • HP 3PAR provisions capacity to LUNS in 16 kilobyte blocks, delivering tremendous disk efficiency.  VMAX uses 768 kilobyte blocks.

  • HP 3PAR scales up to four controller pairs, with every LUN active on every one of the controllers. VMAX LUNs spans two controllers. Like CLARiiON.
  • HP 3PAR was first to market with VMware VAAI integration.  We got there before EMC.  EMC owns VMware. 
  • HP 3PAR is easier to use and more efficient than any previous-generation high-end storage array. Try it and see.

Tom,

 

Compelling set of Factoids. So strong in fact, that it looks like you knocked the "S" out of Symmetrix!

 

Cheers,

 

-Lawrence
