HP unveils enterprise-class storage disk array

BANGALORE, INDIA: HP today unveiled an enterprise-class storage disk array that provides customers with lower total cost of ownership (TCO) for traditional storage workloads in mission-critical environments.

Large enterprises rely on mission-critical applications to drive their businesses, which means that applications and data must remain available at all times, without exception. To ensure business continuity, enterprises require storage solutions that are designed to maintain high levels of data availability and continuous disaster recovery protection. To drive greater enterprise efficiency, storage systems that serve these mission-critical environments must also drive greater storage consolidation, deliver extremely high performance levels and offer the lowest possible TCO without compromising data availability or data protection.

According to a HP release the HP XP7 Storage offers a combination of six 9s-or 99.9999 percent-uptime, which translates to less than 31.5 seconds of application downtime per year, as well as always-on disaster recovery protection, increased system density and ultra-high, flash-driven performance.

HP XP7 Storage will be available in May 2014, starting at US$462,000.
