HP 3PAR Thin Technologies Leadership Overview
HP 3PAR Utility Storage is built from the ground up to support Thin Provisioning (ThP)
by eliminating the diminished performance and functional limitations that plague
bolt-on thin solutions.
Sequences of zeroes are detected by the 3PAR ASIC
and not written to disks.
HP 3PAR ThP draws fine-grained increments from a
single free space reservoir without pre-dedication of
any kind.

Storage Assessment & Sizing – Problem Statement
CONFUSION – Grasp allocated capacity vs. Written or
utilized capacity, often resulting in storage capacity over sizing.
COMPLEXITY – Capacity Assessment is a manual, tedious and
lengthy task. Can take days in a large environment.
Need to correlate various information gathered with Operating
Systems, Storage Arrays and Application management Tools.
Typically a mission for CS – But who takes the costs?
we are in the early stage of the sale cycle when we typically
need this.

Why perform an assessment?
 An assessment will help you better understand the Storage layout for your client
 An assessment will help you position and properly size the correct Tiering
Solution/strategy to meet the customers business objectives
 An Assessment allows you to be consultative, and also differentiates you from the
competition – To become a trusted advisor
 Combining TCO/ROI with an Assessment will provide the necessary financial
justification for the customer to purchase the recommended solution

HP 3PAR Get Thin & Get Virtual Guarantees
Program Goals
 Show customers that HP stands behind StoreServ technology with a guarantee
 Use as a door opener or competitive differentiator
 Not necessary to execute the contract 99% of the time
 Programs focus on legacy storage issues of poor capacity utilization (GTG)
and virtualization bottlenecks (GVG)
Best time to introduce the guarantees:
 Target prospects and customers refreshing non-3PAR storage
 After the customer has a solid understanding of the technology, and
 needs more motivation to choose StoreServ
 is considering other vendors
 You’ve run the Ninja tool and pre-qualified them for the guarantee
HP StoreServ “Ninja” Assessment Tools help you:
 Gather information about customers’ legacy environment
 Engage in more targeted customer conversations
 Pre-qualify customers for the guarantee
“You are losing money and losing deals if you aren’t using the Get Thin Guarantee. You are

missing out on one of the most powerful tools HP has put in the hands of sales reps.”
