This is a typical hardware upgrade where we see new generations of processors will raise the performance of the systems. In the previous generation of hardware only CS3000/5000 supported deduplication. Inline always-on dedupe on Adaptive Flash arraysĭedupe is now standard on all HF models, excluding the HF20C deep scale model that will support compression only. How this will be done practically was not available at time of publishing. The only clear statement made was the fact that customers can upgrade in a non-disruptive way to the latest technologies. I keep on chasing for this information and will update this article asap… However, I did not get any real information about the internal connectivity and practical implementation of all this. It is good to see that HPE Nimble hardware is ready for next generation storage types like NVMe and SCM storage. Once I get more numbers and facts about this claim I will post about this since this is important after all. This is done by getting lower overhead on the initial system before data reduction, which shows that after the typical data reduction like deduplication, compression and zero-block detection, at the end more free space will be available for customers. With this program they guarantee that Nimble All Flash arrays will deliver the most effective capacity per raw TB of flash than other All Flash arrays. HPE announced a new program called Store More guarantee. On the hardware side a lot looks the same, still a 4U chassis with 24 drives with or without DFC’s, depending of the AF or HF series. This is an overview of the available HFxx models: Notice the SF Secondary Flash arrays which will be replaced by the Adaptive Flash models. There is also a mapping available for the old and new Adaptive Flash models. Same story for the Adaptive Flash family: Notice the availability of a new AF20Q modell, which is a quarter-pop modell: 12 SSD’s will reside in 6 DFC’s (dual flash carrier).įind here an overview of all new AFxx models: In general, IOPS will be higher in the same price category. A logical mapping is available between old and new systems. The current 1000-9000 will be replaced by 20-80 models. The 3 current platforms ( AF All Flash – CS Adaptive Flash and SF Secondary Flash) gets streamlined in 2 new platforms called AF All Flash and HF Adaptive Flash families. HPE announced today its 5 th generation of the Nimble storage portfolio.īesides a new generation of hardware, some other new features were shown as well. You can find more helpful documentation and a video tutorial in the following links: In a first stage, only patches and minor updates will be made available through CSU, in a second stage also major updates will be made available for deployment.īy upgrading your Service Processor to 5.0.3 or later, you will be eligible as well for HPE InfoSight activation for cross-stack analytics and other nice features… So it is really worth to upgrade. By default, new patches will be automatically downloaded to your Service Processor and made available for you to self-install at your convenience. You will be notified of new patches via HPE InfoSight or alerts in the Service Processor console. The new web-based Service Processor console features an intuitive and easy to use patch update process. With HPE 3PAR OS 3.3.1 and Service Processor 5.0.0 or later, except for the healthcheck, all other pre-requisite checks that are needed for patch installation have been simplified and automated. With these enhancements it enables you to self-install these patches at your convenience without needing to schedule time with HPE Pointnext. So far, 3PAR customers needed to contact HPE Services (PointNext) to schedule minor and major updates on their 3PAR arrays. HPE has introduced enhancements in HPE 3PAR OS 3.3.1 and Service Processor 5.0.0 or later that simplify the installation of HPE 3PAR OS patches.
