Notes:

- *In all cases, actual performance is dependent upon configuration, data set type, compression levels, number of data streams, number of devices emulated and number of concurrent tasks, such as housekeeping or replication and storage configuration. Actual usable capacity for customer data storage is dependent upon drive formatting, log file meta data size, housekeeping backlog and may differ from that which is used in calculations in the sizer tool.

- Cloud Bank Storage is supported for use as a Catalyst Copy target. The performance of object storage means it is not supported to use Cloud Bank Storage as a backup target.

Standard Features

The following features and benefits apply to all HPE StoreOnce products. Where differences exist between models, they are explained in the description of the benefit.

Scaling out capacity across the enterprise

Keeping pace with data growth, HPE StoreOnce Systems span from an entry level 16 TB model to an enterprise class model with 1.7 PB that can be expanded to 5.2 PB with Cloud Bank Storage depending on generation and model.

Choose from dedicated backup appliances to match the capacity and performance requirements of larger offices and data center deployments or virtual appliances utilizing existing infrastructures for virtualized environments and smaller and remote offices.

StoreOnce deduplication can be extended across cloud storage to create a hybrid backup infrastructure. StoreOnce Catalyst can be scaled out over your choice of on premise or cloud object storage to increase capacity and reduce the cost of backup data that requires extended retention times.

Notes: To optimize capacity utilization and in accordance with performance requirements, your capacity requirements should be planned following Recommended Configuration Guidelines.

Reducing your backup data storage needs

HPE StoreOnce deduplication reduces the disk space required to store backup data sets by typically 20x without impacting backup performance. Retaining more backup data on disk for longer, enables greater backup data accessibility for rapid restore of lost or corrupt files and reduces impact on business productivity while providing cost savings in disk storage, IT resource, physical space, and power requirements.

Meeting shrinking backup windows

Industry leading performance - protect large amounts of data within short backup windows with native high performance or the enhanced speed of HPE StoreOnce Catalyst.

Reduce the risk with industry-leading backup speeds of up to 288 TB/hr* with an HA federated 8 node system using StoreOnce VSA so you can shrink backup windows and meet the most stringent SLAs.

You can enhance performance by deduplicating anywhere; at the application source or at the backup server or at the target HPE StoreOnce System. Federated Deduplication means you can deduplicate where it makes sense for your business, not where technology vendor limitations mandate. Federated Deduplication is available across all HPE StoreOnce systems, in conjunction with all applications that support StoreOnce Catalyst.

Notes:

- Actual performance is dependent upon configuration data set type, compression levels, number of data streams, number of devices emulated and number of concurrent tasks, such as housekeeping or replication and storage configuration.

- Values may differ from those used in calculations in the sizer tool.

Reducing the time to restore data

High speed backup is important, but when system failure strikes being able to restore your data in the shortest time possible is critical to minimizing downtime. That's why Hewlett Packard Enterprise offers industry-leading restore speeds with its StoreOnce product line.

Freeing up your IT resources

Reduce the time spent managing multiple data protection devices and processes and free-up IT resources by consolidating and automating all of your backup data onto HPE StoreOnce systems.

For organizations that have branch and small offices, HPE StoreOnce helps you protect the data at remote sites. You can eliminate the need for dedicated hardware if you use StoreOnce VSA at these sites.

Lowering the cost of data protection

With a typical deduplication ratio of 20:1, more backup data can be stored in a smaller footprint meaning less capacity needs to be purchased. What's more, the highly scalable HPE StoreOnce portfolio allows you to pay-as-you grow.

HPE StoreOnce deduplication also enables network efficient offsite data replication. All HPE StoreOnce systems use StoreOnce Federated data deduplication to significantly reduce the amount of data that needs to be replicated, enabling the use of lower bandwidth, lower cost links to transmit data offsite.

StoreOnce enabled replication opens the way to cost-effective centralized backup from remote sites or branch offices, and delivers a consolidated disaster recovery solution for the data center.

Lowering the cost of long term backup data retention

Cloud Bank Storage extends the usable capacity of StoreOnce by combining low object storage costs with StoreOnce deduplication in a hybrid cloud solution. This massively reduces the storage costs of long term backup data retention and enables off site data protection without investing in offsite facilities. This is delivered by an extension to StoreOnce Catalyst that leverages public cloud and/or private object storage. This external object storage is used to provide capacity to the Catalyst Cloud Bank Store. This integrates seamlessly into existing workflows. Backup data is written to a Catalyst Store and then, within the policy of the writing application, all or some of this backup data is copied to the Catalyst Cloud Bank Store for long term retention.

Notes: Cloud Bank Storage is supported for use as a Catalyst Copy target. The performance of object storage means it is not supported to use Cloud Bank Storage as a backup target.

Reducing the risk to Data at Rest and Data in Flight**

With high-profile reports of data loss, and increasing levels of government legislation for data security, companies are increasingly seeking to encrypt their data. The HPE StoreOnce security provides for Data at Rest and Data in Flight encryption which prevents unauthorized access to data on disk that has been lost, stolen, or discarded, as well as, data being transmitted between devices. It also offers secure erase functionality. These functions can be configured on an application or store basis and are not restricted to the whole appliance. HPE StoreOnce security is available for all HPE StoreOnce products.

Data in flight encryption is supported to secure links between devices for StoreOnce Replication, Low Bandwidth Catalyst Copy and Low Bandwidth Catalyst backup operations. It is not recommended to use IPsec if performing regular restores (including Veeam BCJ) or tape offloads. It is possible write performance may be impacted when using IPsec, however performance improvements should be seen after first ingest.

Using Data In Flight Encryption for VTL/NAS direct backup operations to the StoreOnce System over a local network is not supported due to the performance impact.

Notes: **Data in Flight encryption via IPSec is supported on StoreOnce Catalyst only. In addition, write performance may be impacted, however performance improvements should be seen after first ingest.

Seamlessly integrating into your environment

Flexible backup is available with NAS, (NFS, CIFS (SMB), iSCSI and FC virtual tape libraries (VTL) and StoreOnce Catalyst backup targets. This allows each StoreOnce system to be installed and used with all leading backup applications.

Flexible connectivity enables fast, easy integration into Fibre Channel (16 Gb and 32 Gb) and Ethernet (1 Gb, 10 and 25 GbE iSCSI) networks. HPE StoreOnce systems are easily rack-mounted in standard racks.,

Extensive compatibility

Hewlett Packard Enterprise extensive compatibility testing program assures that your HPE Systems work with leading, operating systems, data protection software and business application.

Please consult: http://www.hpe.com/Storage/StoreOnceSupportMatrix for specific compatibility information.

Delivering reliable backup and restore

In any storage system it is essential to ensure that the integrity of the data stored is maintained so data can be recovered exactly as it was written. There's nothing worse than discovering corrupted backups when you need to restore your data, consequently StoreOnce Systems include HPE StoreOnce Integrity Plus - industry leading patented technology to deliver data integrity throughout the lifecycle. With Integrity Plus you get inbuilt protection which not only checks data at many stages both in the backup process and when recovered, but also continually checks the data when at rest, correcting errors if necessary.

Additionally, HPE StoreOnce systems feature hardware RAID 6 to reduce the risk of data loss due to disk failure.

Protecting your primary storage directly

HPE StoreOnce Recovery Manager Central facilitates automated, efficient, non-intrusive backup and disaster recovery and provides converged data protection by integrating Primera, 3PAR StoreServ, and Nimble primary storage with StoreOnce System storage directly without the need for third-party ISVs. With Recovery Manager Central you get the simplicity and performance of snapshot-based protection to generate application-consistent recovery points combined with the reliability and efficiency of deduplicated backups for guaranteed recovery.

Protecting your remote offices

HPE StoreOnce systems are ideal for remote offices - providing a local backup target and efficient replication to an offsite location. If you are running a virtual server environment in our remote offices you can use the flexibility and simplicity of the HPE StoreOnce VSA.

With HPE StoreOnce Catalyst the movement of data between sites is configured and controlled using your backup application as a single interface for the data protection solution. StoreOnce Catalyst supports a range of flexible configurations that enable the concurrent movement of data from one site to multiple sites, and the ability to cascade data around the enterprise (sometimes referred to as multi-hop).

Eliminate complexity with effortless management

Reduce operational time, complexity and expense with a unified view of multiple StoreOnce systems, both on premises and in the cloud via Federated Management.
