Highlights
This solution has given us improved application uptime and performance.
If it runs, and you don't know about it, that is the best thing that you can have in IT infrastructure. This is what 3PAR does for us.
It has allowed us to set up a fully functioning disaster recovery site with replication, which we have been able to configure between our 3PAR systems.
The solution’s deduplication functionality works great. We are getting about a 16:1 dedupe ratio on our VM workloads.
The solution has improved our throughput by helping us keep up with the demand and acquisitions that we have been going through.
The all-flash positions our organization for growth. If somebody comes to us who needs an application with performance, we have that already formulated.
The remote copy group failover is very useful and has helped us.
