administration times? 3PAR limits the options available to
administrators so it can reduce administration. Unisphere is just
as easy, but with more control, especially over flash drive
resources and for configuring multiple pools optimized for
application requirements.
How do 3PAR arrays scale within the family? They dont. There
is no upgrade from a 8200 to a 8400, from 8400 to an 8440, or
from 8000 Series to the 20000 Series.
How does 3PAR offer NAS access? Its 3830 gateways have been
replaced on C and 8000 models with the 3PAR file Persona
running directly on the StoreServ controllers. File use is limited
to user file shares only, with block prescribed for all application
storage. Maximum file support per array is limited to 256TB of
file capacity.
Does 3PAR offer remote replication? Yes, but there are too few
Remote Copy nodes, which creates bottlenecks and
performance problems. SRM failback is complex on 3PAR
because failback is manual and involves a re-sync.

In closing: Boost performance and minimize costs by taking advantage of new flash drive and VPLEX frame-based pricing and software value
for high-flash content configurations.
