HP is building on the storage-related portion of January’s CloudSystem announcement with the integration of 3PAR Utility Storage across the company’s Converged Infrastructure portfolio. With features like automated storage tiering and thin storage offerings to eliminate over-provisioning, the integration will enable clients to optimize cloud delivery and help it consolidate its storage hardware and respond to continuing data growth, according to HP. The company also says that it has simplified data management and provided a lower total cost of ownership.
