HPE 3PAR Peer Motion Software
Spring, Texas, United States
What it is
HPE 3PAR Peer Motion Software is a storage federation tool for moving block volumes and balancing workloads between HPE 3PAR StoreServ systems. It migrates volumes while applications remain online and supports HPE Primera as a listed platform. Teams can move a single application volume through the 3PAR Management Console or a scriptable command-line interface. HPE lists non-disruptive migration for Windows and Red Hat Linux cluster environments. Peer Motion provides on-demand data mobility between StoreServ systems and self-throttles movement to help preserve application performance. The 3PAR Management Console orchestrates and automates migration activity. 3PAR StoreServ Thin Built-In technology can convert a thick destination volume into a thin volume. Operators can start Peer Motion for Remote Copy groups and resume, retry, abort, delete, or reprioritize operations. A bidirectional multi-array setup can include up to four 3PAR Storage systems. The paid license is offered by quote for HPE 3PAR StoreServ systems, with Linux and Windows listed as platforms.
