As data growth continues at exponential rates, IT departments are being asked to deliver storage at ever-increasing levels of efficiency - the classic "do more with less" dilemma.
At the same time, traditional storage arrays are failing to keep up with I/O density requirements and customers are transitioning to all-flash systems, which have a much higher raw $/GB price point. Space reduction technologies such as thin provisioning, compression and data deduplication form a key strategy in all-flash systems by helping businesses meet their storage needs while driving high levels of efficiency.
HP 3PAR StoreServ's thin deduplication feature continues the story of delivering value to customers through optimising the way its shared storage systems store data. Thin deduplication further leverages the use of HP 3PAR's custom application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) to minimise the impact of performing deduplication inline, as data is written to the array. Strong data integrity is maintained through additional integrity checks on every deduplicated write, a process that is achieved at line speed using the ASIC technology.
