The new HPE StoreOnce 7700 and 5720 Gen5 are now officially a Veeam Ready Repository certified as Primary Target Repository, passing all compatibility/functional tests, as well as extensive performance tests for both backup and restore operations with Veeam Backup & Replication 13.
Part of the qualification test is random IOPS on a backup target to simulate Secure Restore (a virus-scanning process) executed within the Veeam Instant VM Recovery context.
Certification Test Settings:
- Caching used: Yes
- Read/write caching: StoreOnce uses explicit application prefetch/caching/buffering in RAM. Also leverages Linux page cache (filesystem read/write caching), and the RAID cards have their own battery-backed read/write cache.
- Multipathing/link aggregation used: No (but supported in StoreOnce systems).
- Array deduplication used in testing: Yes
- Array compression used in testing: Yes
HPE StoreOnce 7700
The all-flash HPE StoreOnce 7700 is engineered to deliver high-performance backup and recovery capabilities for enterprise data protection environments.
Expanding the HPE StoreOnce portfolio, this appliance combines flash-based acceleration with advanced efficiency and security features to support stringent recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO) requirements.
Leveraging flash technology, the HPE StoreOnce 7700 achieves up to 5x lower RPOs and 3.5x faster RTOs than the current generation, significantly reducing downtime during recovery operations. Its single-chassis architecture eliminates the need for drive expansion enclosures, reducing rack space utilization by up to 80% and power consumption by 24%.
The system is delivered in a 2U form factor with 552 TB of usable local capacity, scalable to 2.7 PB usable when integrated with HPE StoreOnce Cloud Bank Storage. This design provides high-density storage efficiency while maintaining advanced security features to ensure cyber resilience.
The HPE StoreOnce 7700 offers a balance of performance, scalability, and efficiency, making it a suitable solution for enterprises requiring rapid backup and restore operations, optimized resource utilization, and robust data protection.
HPE StoreOnce 5720
In addition to the all-flash model, HPE has introduced the StoreOnce 5720, designed to deliver a balanced combination of performance, scalability, and cost efficiency. This appliance provides enterprise-class data protection capabilities while optimizing space and energy usage.
The HPE StoreOnce 5720 achieves up to 60% reduction in rack space requirements and 18% lower power consumption through its single-chassis design, improving overall data center efficiency. With a 4U form factor, the system offers 576 TB of usable local capacity, expandable to 1.7 PB usable when integrated with HPE StoreOnce Cloud Bank Storage.
Performance is engineered to meet demanding workloads, with the ability to protect up to 70 TB per hour. The system also supports data reduction ratios of up to 60:1, enabling significant savings in both storage and network resources.
The HPE StoreOnce 5720 provides a cost-efficient, scalable solution that balances throughput and capacity, making it well-suited for organizations that require reliable backup and recovery while optimizing infrastructure utilization.
