Spec score 6.9 #17 of 25 in Storage Migration Software

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, with HPE Primera also listed as supported. It can migrate volumes while applications remain online, including single-volume moves for individual applications through the 3PAR Management Console or a scriptable command-line interface. HPE lists non-disruptive migration support for Windows and Red Hat Linux cluster environments. On-demand movement between StoreServ systems supports workload balancing, and self-throttling is intended to preserve application performance. The 3PAR Management Console orchestrates and automates migrations. 3PAR StoreServ Thin Built-In technology can convert thick volumes to thin volumes on the destination. 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.
