3PAR isn’t like other flash architectures; it has a data-

centric architecture designed to abstract data from media

allowing rapid adoption of new technologies

Express LayoutDriving performance and endurance

Active/Active host connectionsTruly active/active connectivity with no reliance on MPIO DSM or proprietary drivers and plugins

Mesh-active controller architectureEnsures that all system resources are evenly balanced for optimal performance, drive wear and simplified management

Active/active SSD accessEach node in a node pair has active access to all drives behind the node pair to drive performance and improve efficiency

Express LayoutReducing overhead and driving performance

Up to 50%Lower RAID parity overheads

EfficiencySmaller systems have more capacity

PerformanceBoth controllers drive performance from all SSDs
