HPE XP7 Storage delivers 100% data availability—and this is no myth
HPE XP7 Storage just breezed through 50 months of demonstrated 100% data availability! Others talk about 5, 6 or 7-nines availability. With HPE XP7 Storage, there’s no need to talk about 9s. Because there are no 9s in 100%!
Without question maintaining data availability is paramount for success in today’s fast-paced, ultra-competitive market. When access to data is interrupted—even for a few minutes—it can lead to irreversible damage. Productivity is reduced and revenue lost. Credibility and reputation can be damaged. Business viability may even be questioned.
Speaking of credibility and reputation when it comes to data availability, HPE is now celebrating 20 years of delivering robust storage solutions to the Tier 0/1 market. Our current platform, HPE XP7 Storage, is the 7th-generation XP. We introduced the HPE XP7 in 2014 and we started installing the first arrays 50 months ago. During that time customer data has been available for every second of every day on every single array across the entire installed base!
How we deliver on availability
Our availability achievement is unique in the industry and is a result of relentless effort from the HPE XP7 engineering, procurement and HPE Pointnext support teams.HPE XP7 Storage
Before releasing new hardware or software HPE rigorously tests all components to meet HPE reliability standards. We have developed a unique and special procedure to perform hazard tests on the firmware and microcode so our customers can be assured that the software is working correctly.
But it does not stop here. HPE takes another step and certifies complete solutions. This means HPE certifies each level of the storage “food chain” including storage SAN and servers. We do this for both HPE and non-HPE products. This certification is in addition to certifications performed by individual component vendors.
Providing another cornerstone of our success when it comes to data availability, HPE Pointnext makes use of the HPE Insight Remote System. HPE Insight Remote System combines the collection of telemetry data and remote support capabilities that XP Storage has since 1999. Intelligent analytics have been built into the microcode of the array to provide 98.5% coverage of the array components and actively predicts and prevents problems across the infrastructure.
Why choose HPE XP7?
HPE XP7 is ideal when you need disaster-proof resilient storage and applications requiring extreme fault tolerance and high performance with low latency.
With proven single array 100% data availability since its inception, HPE XP7 is the clear choice for extreme high availability workloads. No other storage vendor has demonstrated single-array 100% availability. To back our claim, XP7 customers can now sign up for the HPE XP7 Get 100% Data Availability Guarantee at no additional cost.
Remember: there are no 9s in 100%!
