Centralized data protection, copy data management and data mobility for HPE Primera, HPE 3PAR and HPE Nimble Storage is now available with RMC 6.2. Letโs take a closer look.
Letโs take a closer look at the challenges and pain points that this solution is designed to address and overview the key features, benefits and value that RMC 6.2 can deliver HPE Primera, HPE 3PAR and HPE Nimble Storage customers.
Data is your most valuable currency
Weโre living in an intelligence era where data is the engine of your intelligent enterprise and is your most valuable currency. Your organization depends on data to be instantly available and secureโwherever and whenever you need it. And in an always-on always connected intelligent enterprise, the financial and business impact of unplanned downtime and data loss can prove catastrophic.
Protecting data is increasingly challenging
As the value and business-criticality of data increases, the challenges of protecting data are tougher than ever. Exploding data growth and copy data sprawl, demanding service-level requirements, and an evolving threat and compliance landscape are putting pressure on costs and intensifying risk. Whatโs more, as you transform to hybrid cloud, protecting applications across your data center and the cloud can prove increasingly complex.
Itโs time for a more intelligent approach.
HPE RMC 6.2
HPE RMC 6.2 software is a centralized data protection copy data management and data mobility software solution for HPE Primera, HPE 3PAR and HPE Nimble Storage arrays that helps minimize secondary data sprawl across secondary use cases such as:
- Multi-tier data protection across primary, secondary and cloud tiers
- Space-efficient Test & Dev
- Analytics and reporting from clones without affecting primary workloads
- Cross array data mobility
RMC consolidates of all these secondary data management functions into a single, end to end integrated offering, delivering flash speed application protection, copy data management and data mobility that is built for cloud with less cost and complexity.
RMC reduces cost and complexity by enabling application integrated protection for VMwareยฎ, Microsoftยฎ SQL, Microsoft Exchange, Oracle, SAP HANAยฎ and any Microsoft VSS-enabled application running as a virtual machine. VM and database admins can now manage application consistent snapshots, backup, and recovery as well as test/devโseamlessly and directly from within their preferred native interfaces. You can also integrate intelligent protection for their business apps with a full set of REST APIs
RMC software is included as standard with HPE Primera, HPE 3PAR and HPE Nimble primary storage. By providing it free with HPE primary storage we can ensure that all our storage customers can take advantage of this powerful and flexible solution.
HPE RMC 6.2 has set a new bar for Multi-tiered 3-2-1 data protection with its unique ability to orchestrate copies of data seamlessly across multiple HPE Storage systems and fully utilizing on-premises secondary storage and cloud tiers to provide a more holistic and cost-effective solution. This covers the complete continuum of data protection with high availability, replication, snapshots, backup and archive, enabling customer to comply with 3-2-1 data protection rule (3 copies of data stored on two different types of media and with one copy off site)
Automated self-service with intelligent, policy-based copy automation
With HPE RMC you can create and automate centralized backup, replication and archival SLA policies with just a few clicks; this lets you orchestrate multi-tiered data protection driven by policy and business need.
Put your backup data to work
RMC 6.2 solves the challenges of copy data proliferation and manual data provisioning with fast, automated and zero-impact/copy and clones that can be used for multi-tier data protection, space efficient test/dev, analytics and reporting โ all managed via one single pane of glass
Flash speed with minimal app impact
RMC lets you predictably deliver on your backup and recovery SLAs with a data movement architecture optimized for ultimate efficiency (including tight data source integration, direct data paths and intelligent source side deduplication).
Direct backup from your HPE Primera, HPE 3PAR and HPE Nimble Storage array to StoreOnce with HPE RMC bypasses traditional server backup techniques, delivering 23x faster backup and 15x faster recovery for your enterprise appsโwith less cost and complexity and minimal impact on your production environment.
Eliminates cost and complexity of traditional backup
RMC reduces cost and complexity by streamlining and simplifying your backup architecture by eliminating extraneous infrastructure. It requires fewer server, storage, and network resources and reduces the number of systems you need to purchase and maintain for data protection. And as weโve seen HPE RMC is included for free with any HPE Primera, HPE 3PAR or HPE Nimble array.
Simple cloud backup for long term retention, archive and disaster recovery
RMC 6.2 seamlessly cloud-enables your apps and natively integrates your cloud of your choice. It optimizes your cloud investment, copying only unique data to the cloud for 20x lower cloud storage cost. And it enables secure cloud backup and disaster recoveryโwith encrypted, self-describing backup data.
Simplifying data mobility between HPE 3PAR, HPE Primera and HPE Nimble
RMC 6.2 also includes a new Peer Copy feature which enables asynchronous periodic bi-directional replication between two or more homogeneous or heterogeneous storage systems. Peer Copy supports data replication across HPE Primera, HPE 3PAR and HPE Nimble Storage systemsโeliminating the need to use host specific or hypervisor specific tools or expensive network-based appliances. Peer Copy allows for one-to-many, many-to-one, and multihop topologies, managed from within the RMC GUI.
