International technology company Hewlett-Packard (HP) unveiled on Thursday its new Storage technology that has a “Ferrari-speed” minus the Ferrari price tag.Mike Prieto, vice president and general manager of HP Asia Pacific and Japan, said in a media roundtable discussion that HP 3PAR P10000 Storage has double the speed of their closest competitor because of its new solid-state drives (SSD).
The new SSD technology is better than the standard hard disk drives (HDD) because it does not have a spinning disk; less moving parts means better durability, faster storage retrieval, and smaller physical footprint. SSDs however are more expensive compared to HDD.The HP 3PAR P10000 Storage can hold a maximum of 512 SSDs in a single array which “reduces equipment costs, data-center footprint, and energy expenses.
