Product description
All hardware and software components are pre-installed and pre-integrated by Hewlett Packard Enterprise and quick customization using the OneView InstantOn software enables faster time to value that is unique to the HC 250 family.
Product features
- Storage Clustering simplifies scalability
Storage Clustering allows a customer to consolidate multiple storage nodes into pools of storage. All available capacity and performance is aggregated and available to every volume in the cluster. As storage needs increase the HC 250 can scale performance and capacity on-line. - Network RAID delivers new levels of data availability
Network RAID stripes and protects multiple copies of data across a cluster of storage nodes, eliminating any single point of failure in the HC 250. Applications have continuous data availability in the event of a disk, controller, storage node, power, network, or site failure. Choose the right Network RAID level for each data store containing virtualized workloads in the resource pool based on capacity and performance needs. - Thin Provisioning reduces costs by increasing storage efficiency
Thin Provisioning allocates space only as data is actually written without requiring pre-allocation of storage. This raises the overall utilization and efficiency of the HC 250, reduces costs and ultimately increases the ROI. - Application integrated snapshots
Snapshots create thinly provisioned, instant point-in-time copies of data on a per-volume basis. Administrators access snapshots to recover individual files from the volume, or rollback an entire volume. Built-in application integration provides automated quiescing for virtual machines on Microsoft Hyper-V or VMware vSphere: using the Application Aware Snapshot Manager, consistency can be extended from VM-consistent to application-consistent snapshots for VMs with Microsoft Windows. - Remote Copy reduces costs for disaster recovery
Remote Copy replicates snapshots between HC 250 and StoreVirtual-based devices arrays at primary and remote locations. Copies are thinly provisioned with no space reservation required. Remote Copy enables centralized backup and disaster recovery on a per-volume basis and leverages application integrated snapshots for faster recovery. Remote Copy makes the HC 250 the perfect fit for regional data centers.
