‘Utility computing', that is what 3PAR is about. An addition to IT architecture in a way which improves the use of resource, simplifies data management, reduces storage and its related cost. 3PAR ensures high performance and thanks to thin provisioning ensures low(er) costs and high(er) efficiency.

The heart of ‘utility computing': server and storage virtualisation. But then not in the traditional manner, but in an extremely intelligent and especially functional manner.
3PAR Utility Storage is a enterprise storage layer with inbuilt virtualisation. Pre-eminently suitable for storage consolidation, integrated data lifecycle management and performance intensive applications.
Since its introduction, 3PAR Thin Provisioning software has gone on to set the gold standard for thin provisioning-giving 3PAR Utility Storage customers the ability to minimize storage TCO and meet Green IT targets. With the introduction of the 3PAR Gen3 ASIC and the our unique Thin Engine it is now easier than ever to Start Thin, Get Thin and Stay thin.
3PAR Thin Provisioning makes this possible by cutting SAN costs, floor space requirements, and energy expenses by up to 75% and decreasing administration time by 90%. It does this by allowing you to purchase only the disk capacity you actually need, only as you actually need it.
The advantages of 3PAR Utility Storage cover the whole infrastructure. It is thus very scalable, extremely efficient and easy to manage. Furthermore it is more cost efficient than standard technologies and modular architectures.
Through the reduction or elimination of capital and operational costs as well as speeding up and protecting the ‘return on investment' of applications, 3PAR guarantees a sensible ‘return on IT' and on the information itself.
Only 3PAR makes it possible to simple and affordably consolidate storage onto a limited number of systems, centralise information and reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
