Data and Storage

What’s up GG’s? Today we’ll talk about the convergence of data and storage, and especially of storage!

HP offers different types of storage, and among them there is “Principal Storage” and “Storage defined by software”.

HP has numerous storage solution for rapidity, flexibility and efficiency. They also have different range with variable prices for different types of client.

To accelerate performances, HP has storage 100% hybrid and flash optimized SSD. For example: 3PAR storage array Store Serv. Designed for data center 100% flash: Speed (3 million IOPS and latency from 0.2ms) to suit any type of application and reliability needed for critical service levels. And the price is comparable to traditional disk-based storage.

From $19,000 with the cost of GB usable starting at $1.50 with deduplication.

For storage, there is also the solution of virtualization. With the HPE StoreVirtual Storage, simplify client and server virtualization with flexible and highly available scale-out storage.

Here is one of the model HP offers: HP StoreVirtual 4000 Storage.

You can have the link here with the details I won’t talk about of this virtual storage: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/disk-storage/product-detail.html?oid=4118659

It’s really interesting, trust me. I feel that this is a good storage method to build up a new Data Center.

To talk about storage capacity in the world from different data center, we can see that the Utah Data Center (from NSA) has a capacity between 3 and 12 exabytes (billions of gigabytes). For example, the entire mobile communications from the United-States of America during one year (272 petabytes) could be saved in a space which represent more or less 2% of the storage capacity of the servers of this DC. Impressive isn’t it?

That’s it for today GG’s, stay tuned and we’ll see you soon for more information!
