SQL Server Data Mobility Rambo WANG TME, HPE Storage

Top challenges for SQL Server infrastructure There is always an HPE Storage solution suits your environment! Lost nights and weekends How can we spend less time on endless firefighting, troubleshooting, and maintenance? Cost of rapid data growth Did you know that data copies now consume more space than Production data? Need for faster innovation How can we deliver new applications and ideas to market faster? <<Click>> This is a really big headache for IT generalists and DBAs. They’re not storage admins and infrastructure is so complicated. They spend countless hours reacting to unexpected problems, interpreting graphs and logs, and calling vendor support. And when they do reach vendor support, they get asked mundane questions, they keep getting escalated, and vendors point fingers that it's someone else’s problem.  <<Click>> The next issue is that data copies now consume more space than Production data. Why is this happening? Everyone needs a copy of the Production data. IT uses them for backups and DR, and developers use them to create new applications and train new machine learning and AI models. This is expensive. It leads to high storage costs and is time consuming to maintain. <<Click>> Last, bringing new ideas and applications to market faster means empowering IT teams and developers. Many companies including Microsoft have announced databases that run anywhere, even in containers, but did you know that they can’t address the challenges that come with persistent data in containers? For that you need a reliable, persistent storage solution. For HPE and HPE Channel partners only

HPE Storage solutions for SQL Server and other MSFT Apps There is always an HPE Storage solution suits your environment! Worry-free SQL Server infrastructure with AI for the data center Fast, efficient SQL Server copy data management for hybrid cloud DevOps and cloud ready Consistent performance with predictive flash 99.9999% guaranteed availability from storage Popular use cases Data protection Business continuity Development and testing Reporting, analytics, audit, security, patches and updates, and more… System automation Container platforms Container types We’ve built our storage solutions for SQL Server to address these challenges. Three things make HPE different: we’re predictive, we offer built-in copy data management, and we’re cloud and DevOps ready. <<Click>> First, HPE storage takes care of itself and your entire SQL Server infrastructure stack, so you don’t have to. HPE has the best approach to delivering consistent flash performance and availability: proven machine learning and AI through predictive analytics software: HPE InfoSight. <<Click>> Second, we offer a range of options for the most popular SQL Server copy data management workloads—from simple SQL Server-consistent snapshots and data replication to more sophisticated hybrid cloud tiering options.  You can cut primary storage capacity consumption by up to 80% and backup capacity consumption by 20x compared to commodity storage. You’ll get 23x faster backups and 15x faster restores compared to traditional backup media. All software is included with the appliances and arrays. There are no extra licensing costs. With a full line of hybrid and all-flash arrays, you can have flash for all your workloads—not just Production. <<Click>> Third, we’re the best platform for SQL Server 2017 DevOps, containers, and cloud. Our arrays arrive ready to connect to HPE Cloud Volumes right out of the box. We were the first to provide persistent volumes for containers running legacy SQL Server apps. You can choose any container type or platform. We’re one of the few who support all of these. For HPE and HPE Channel partners only
