Software suites for HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage

HPE 3PAR Operating System Software Suite Required for all new HPE 3PAR StoreServ systems, this foundational software suite gives you everything you need to get up and
running quickly and efficiently. Powered by the HPE 3PAR Gen5 ASIC, HPE 3PAR Thin Technologies, including HPE 3PAR Thin
Provisioning, HPE 3PAR Thin Persistence, HPE 3PAR Thin Conversion, and HPE 3PAR Thin Deduplication, form the base of this
software suite. Performance acceleration is assured by HPE 3PAR Adaptive Flash Cache, which reduces application response times.
Network simplification and security are covered with iSCSI VLAN tagging. Simplified management is offered by the HPE 3PAR
StoreServ Management Console and HPE 3PAR Host Explorer software. HPE 3PAR System Reporter and HPE 3PARInfo software
are designed to track performance and capacity utilization trends for multiple HPE 3PAR StoreServ Systems. Other highlights
of this suite include HPE 3PAR Full Copy software and autonomic rebalancing capabilities that help optimize the use of future
capacity expansions, and support for standard multipathing software for high availability in clustered environments. A 1-year
license for HPE 3PAR Online Import is included to enable migration from HPE EVA, EMC1, HDS2, or IBM3 systems.

HPE 3PAR Replication Software Suite This suite bundles HPE 3PAR Virtual Copy Software with HPE 3PAR Remote Copy Software—both are sold separately for all
HPE 3PAR StoreServ models. HPE 3PAR Virtual Copy Software protects and shares data affordably with rapid recovery using
reservationless, non-duplicative, copy-on-write snapshots. HPE 3PAR Remote Copy offers simple and cost-effective data
protection for efficient multi-tenant disaster recovery.
Also included in this bundle is HPE 3PAR Peer Persistence, which ensures transparent automatic failover over
metropolitan distances using Remote Copy Synchronous mode. For HPE 3PAR StoreServ 20000 Storage and HPE 3PAR
StoreServ 8000 Storage, this suite also includes HPE 3PAR Cluster Extension Software, which enables automatic failover across
data centers using Remote Copy Asynchronous mode.

HPE 3PAR Data Optimization Software Suite This software bundle combines HPE 3PAR Dynamic Optimization, HPE 3PAR Adaptive Optimization, HPE 3PAR Priority
Optimization, and HPE 3PAR Peer Motion software together. HPE 3PAR Dynamic Optimization delivers the required service
levels for the lowest possible cost throughout the data lifecycle. HPE 3PAR Adaptive Optimization improves storage utilization
by enabling cost-optimized storage tiering. HPE 3PAR Priority Optimization assures service levels with (QoS) controls for
mission-critical applications. HPE 3PAR Peer Motion enables load balancing at will, wherein movement of data and workloads
between arrays does not impact applications, users, or services. These four software titles bundled in this suite are also sold
separately for all HPE 3PAR StoreServ models. Depending on the purchase date, titles included in this suite may vary. Check the
HPE 3PAR Software QuickSpecs for complete details.

HPE 3PAR File Persona Software Suite This licensed feature of the HPE 3PAR Operating System enables rich file protocols from SMB/CIFS to NFS and FTP, file data
services from quota management to file snapshots, and retention as well as immutability, and a RESTful Object Access API for
programmatic access to files. It extends the spectrum of workloads natively addressed by HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage to include
home directories and user shares, content management and collaboration, data preservation and governance, as well as custom
cloud applications. Management is truly unified through the HPE 3PAR StoreServ Management Console and the powerful,
scriptable HPE 3PAR CLI.

HPE 3PAR Security Software Suite This software suite bundles HPE 3PAR Virtual Domains Software and HPE 3PAR Virtual Lock Software. With this suite, you can
segregate access and deliver robust storage services for different applications and user groups with additional security attached to
the retention of storage volumes.

HPE 3PAR Application Software Suite for Microsoft® Protect your Microsoft Hyper-V environment with HPE 3PAR Recovery Manager for Microsoft Hyper-V and the HPE 3PAR VSS
Hyper-V Provider software included in this software bundle.

HPE 3PAR Application Software Suite for Microsoft This bundle gives you the essentials for use with Microsoft Exchange, including HPE 3PAR Recovery Manager for Exchange and
Exchange the HPE 3PAR VSS Provider software.

HPE StoreOnce Recovery Manager Central (RMC) This suite bundles everything you need to protect your critical applications running on HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage. RMC
software allows you to create, manage, and automate crash-consistent snapshots for any application and app-consistent snapshots
for VMware® vSphere®, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle4. In addition, RMC allows you to perform flat backup to HPE StoreOnce
systems for converged data protection.
