HP Get Thin Guarantee Program enables clients to cut storage footprint, power use and costs

PALO ALTO, Calif., ----

HP today announced the HP Get Thin Guarantee Program,(1) which enables clients to reduce storage capacity requirements by 50 percent or more when they replace legacy equipment with HP 3PAR Utility Storage.

Part of the HP Converged Infrastructure portfolio, HP 3PAR Storage Systems offer a silicon-based thin processing mechanism as part of the system’s highly specialized hardware design. When combined with HP 3PAR Thin Conversion Software, this mechanism drives the rapid “thinning” of storage volumes by identifying and removing unused pockets of disk capacity.

As a result, traditional storage volumes are reduced by 50 percent or more and converted into thin provisioned volumes on the HP 3PAR array. This enables clients to reduce storage footprint and power consumption while also cutting storage administration time by as much as 90 percent.(2)

As part of the guarantee, any participants in the program who do not realize 50 percent or more reduction in storage capacity requirements will receive additional disk capacity and related software, as well as support related to the additional disk capacity and software from HP equal to the difference.(1)

“Clients are looking to the next generation of storage arrays to curb data center sprawl and reduce both capital and operating expenses,” said Tom Joyce, vice president, Marketing, Storage, HP. “The HP Get Thin Guarantee Program allows clients to very quickly experience the significant difference that deploying highly virtualized storage can make in the enterprise.”

The HP Get Thin Guarantee Program is available to clients globally through HP or HP-authorized channel partners. Under the terms of the program, qualifying participants may purchase any model of HP 3PAR Storage System with HP 3PAR Thin Conversion and HP 3PAR Thin Provisioning Software.

HP Converged Infrastructure is a core component of an Instant-On Enterprise. In a world of continuous connectivity, the Instant-On Enterprise embeds technology in everything it does to serve clients, employees, partners and citizens with whatever they need, instantly.

HP’s premier client event, HP DISCOVER, takes place June 6 - 10 in Las Vegas and Nov. 29 - Dec. 1 in Vienna, Austria. The event showcases how organizations can get started on their Instant-On Enterprise journeys.
