I am happy to share with you that independent analyst firm DCIG has once again ranked HPE StoreOnce in the top category of “Recommended” in its just-released 2019-2020 Enterprise Deduplication Backup Target Appliance Buyer's Guide.
According to DCIG, a key reason for HPE StoreOnce topping the charts is because it enables enterprises to meet their broader, more strategic objectives. As an example, the report cites StoreOnce’s ability to perform next-generation data lifecycle management while at the same time providing the necessary features to accomplish traditional backup and recovery tasks.
The DCIG report positions HPE StoreOnce as best in class for “enterprises actively working toward creating a software-defined data center and wanting to automate seamless data movement between storage systems, deduplication appliances and the cloud so they can continue to build toward an intelligent data center.”
The report also states that “HPE has been the primary vendor leading in the innovation of these two areas,” citing HPE StoreOnce VSA, HPE Cloud Bank Storage and HPE RMC as major proof points.
You can read the complete DCIG report but let me summarize some of the stand-out quotes from an HPE StoreOnce perspective.
- Software-defined hybrid data center data protection: “The best use case for HPE StoreOnce systems is for those enterprises that want to create to create a software-defined data center that encompasses a hybrid cloud environment. Among the providers evaluated, HPE has moved substantially ahead of its competition in delivering on this ideal.”
- HPE StoreOnce VSA: “HPE represents the leader in this space in terms of software innovation over the past 12-to-18 months. . . The 500TB of capacity the HPE VSA can manage currently represents the largest total capacity of any virtual appliance that DCIG has evaluated available from any provider.”
- HPE Cloud Bank Storage: “HPE also significantly upped its game with its connectivity to the cloud. All its appliances offer connectivity to all major general-purpose cloud providers. . . HPE even includes software tools so that enterprises can qualify a cloud provider if it is not on the current HPE “approved” list of cloud providers.”
- HPE Recovery Manager Central: “HPE continues to make investments in its Recovery Manager Central (RMC) software to facilitate data movement and data life cycle management on its various storage platforms (3PAR, Nimble Storage, and StoreOnce). . . enterprises will derive much more intrinsic value from the StoreOnce platform when implemented alongside HPE’s storage platforms and management software.”
