HPE 3PAR Peer Motion Drive - License - 1 License

Product Description

The HPE 3PAR Peer Motion Drive, identified by SKU BC790AAE, is a crucial software license that unlocks the powerful Peer Motion capability within HPE's 3PAR storage ecosystem. Peer Motion is designed to address one of the most significant challenges in storage management: the need to migrate data between storage systems without impacting application availability. This license enables organizations to perform these migrations seamlessly, ensuring continuous operation of critical services during storage hardware refreshes, capacity expansions, or data center consolidations. With the Peer Motion license, administrators can initiate and manage data movement from one HPE 3PAR storage array to another, or even between different generations of 3PAR systems, with zero downtime. The process is entirely non-disruptive, meaning that applications and users continue to access their data without interruption throughout the migration. This capability significantly reduces the risk and complexity associated with storage infrastructure changes, which are often costly and disruptive undertakings. The 'Drive' in the product name might refer to the underlying technology or the way the license is applied, but its primary function is to activate the Peer Motion feature. This license is typically acquired per array or per migration instance, depending on the licensing model. By enabling Peer Motion, organizations can achieve greater agility in their storage infrastructure, optimize resource utilization, and streamline maintenance operations, ultimately leading to improved operational efficiency and reduced total cost of ownership.
