What I can do to improve the capacity efficiency of my legacy storage volumes without complex data migration or professional services? HPE 3PAR Thin Conversion Software leverages the zero-detection capabilities within the HPE 3PAR Gen3 ASIC to drive the conversion of inefficient, “fat” volumes on legacy arrays to more efficient, higher utilization “thin” volumes on HPE 3PAR Storage Systems. This “thinning” of volumes enables data centers to meet Green IT targets, eliminate wasted space, and increase utilization rates. Because the fat-to-thin conversion mechanism is built into array hardware, volume conversions take place inline, at wire speeds, while preserving service levels, and without disruption to production workloads. With Thin Conversion, a technology refresh no longer requires a terabyte-for-terabyte replacement, but instead offers the opportunity to reduce capacity requirements by 50 percent or more without the need to invest in professional services. Drives up Storage Efficiency With HPE 3PAR Thin Conversion Software, a technology refresh no longer requires a terabyte-for-terabyte replacement but instead offers the opportunity to shrink capacity requirements simply and rapidly. Leverages the HPE 3PAR Gen3 ASIC and Thin Engine—a unique virtualization mapping engine for space reclamation—to drive the simple and rapid conversion of inefficient, “fat” volumes on legacy arrays to higher utilization volumes on any HPE 3PAR Storage System. Effectively “thins” legacy storage volumes to 50 percent of their original size or less by while preserving service levels and without impacting production workloads.
