Critical enterprise applications continue to push the boundaries of IT infrastructure around performance, scalability, resiliency, and cost. Modern all-flash storage arrays have made significant strides in addressing these requirements. However, critical applications also require protection from human or application errors as well as protection from system failures and disasters. Often times, this protection requires using multiple products and tools which can lead to a disjointed and overlapping approach to data protection which performance penalties that detract all-flash performance. In addition, using multiple tools and product often results in multiple copies of data, an inefficiency that adds to cost and management overhead.

In order to validate HPE's data protection tools HPE asked to leading industry analyst firms with extensive lab capabilities, Evaluator Group and Demartek, to assess application performance and availability utilizing HPE 3PAR Storage, HPE StoreOnce, and RMC data protection product.
