HPE StoreOnce is a backup and recovery solution from Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, providing disk based backup, deduplication, and safe long-term storage.Hewlett Packard EnterpriseAn awesome backup infrastructure solution2018-11-05T21:20:18.520ZWe are using HP StoreOnce as our backup infrastructure for both databases and applications. We have 200 + Virtual Machines and 20+ Physical Servers. We are using HPE StoreOnce Catalyst Store RMAN plugin to backup oracle databases to StoreOnce catalyst store. This is a great feature since now we don't need to take local backup and then push it to tape device. The backups to StoreOnce device is very efficient. We are also using CIFS (NAS) Shares on HPE StoreOnce to backup virtual machine using a third party backup software.,Backups to HPE StoreOnce device is very efficient. This is particularly because we are using all SSD (flash ) devices in our HPE StoreOnce infrastructure.
The compaction ratio with HPE StoreOnce is amazing which reduces our total storage footprint by upto 95%.
It supports both block storage and file system storage. This is especially beneficial since we wanted one backup infrastructure for both our application and database backups.,We had a little trouble sending backups of physical servers using SMBv1 protocol to SMBv2 CIFS shares. We had to implement a work around but it would have been nice if StoreOnce could be smart enough to take care of SMB version automatically.
There is no native Catalyst Store replication from one StoreOnce device to another StoreOnce. The replication has to be handled by the backup software which is backing up to one StoreOnce device. This puts an extra overhead on the source.
HPE StoreOnce command line is a little complicated for beginners. It takes a little while to get familiar with how to leverage it.,9,We are pleased to use HPE StoreOnce for our backup infrastructure. We did not had to hire a separate storage folks and this has greatly cut down on our cost.
HPE StoreOnce is very fast and efficient. We have not had any complaints of backups going slow.,NetApp FAS series,Oracle Database 12c, Veeam Backup & Replication, VMware ESXi, VMware Site Recovery Manager, Windows Server, Azure Active Directory, JIRA Software, Control-M, Oracle GoldenGate, ClickUp, Slack,No,Price

Existing Relationship with the Vendor,We are extremely happy with HPE StoreOnce Backup System. We are using it for storing backups of 200+ Virtual Machines and 4 Physical Servers with a great compaction ratio and great performance. Although our systems are still growing in data, but the current backups run pretty fast without causing very high IOPS.,Yes,9,No,We had a storage corruption with HPE StoreOnce. The phone home feature notified HPE support team of possible failure. They contacted us to schedule a time to visit the data center. They were able to fix the problem before a bigger downtime would have occured.,Creating a catalyst store to store and manage backup files is pretty straight forward.
I didn't had to struggle much creating NAS/CIFS volume.
SMTP configuration and email alert configuration is very user friendly as well.,It took me some effort to understand how StoreOnce controller nodes and ports work.,9Ravinder GuptaVersatile backups. ease of administration and amazing compaction ratio2019-02-15T22:30:09.089ZOurs is a big size ERP solution with 150 + virtual machines and 20+ Physical Servers. We use HPE StoreOnce as backup infrastructure for backing up OS, software binaries and databases. We use third-party software to store OS level backups on StoreOnce and we use native HPE StoreOnce RMAN Catalyst Plugin to push our RMAN backups for Oracle databases to StoreOnce. We also use CIFS share on StoreOnce as a mount point for key shared drives.,File uploads and querying the backup repository is quite fast, given that we have so many backups and a good retention period.
A free add on "HPE StoreOnce Catalyst Plugin for RMAN" was a great benefit. We saved the cost of buying an additional backup infrastructure for our databases.,HPE StoreOnce Catalyst Stores do not have a native replication. You will have to rely on third party software to backup your backup files from primary StoreOnce to secondary StoreOnce.
We also see disconnects in the HPE StoreOnce Catalyst RMAN Plugin. We are still trying to figure out if this is a StoreOnce issue or something with our network.,9,HPE StoreOnce doesn't require a lot of technical knowledge for day to day administration and management. This helps reducing IT support staff cost.
It provides an amazing compaction ratio and saves you a lot on the storage side.,Barracuda Backup,Apple iCloud, Google Drive, MS SharePoint,Creating Catalyst Stores to store your backup is straight forward.
Configuring NAS shares is quite easy.,Configuring Network settings may be a little complicated initially.,No,9Amanda DeckerStoreOnce is a compelling backup storage platform2017-05-01T19:16:04.109ZHPE StoreOnce was used to transition from tape backups to disk backups. IT in the organization is centralized, so the StoreOnce provides the backup storage for the entire enterprise backups. It allowed extended online retention periods, cut down on the restore time and decreased the time windows for backup. The Catalyst deduplication technology allows cost-effective and extended retention periods by consuming less disk space, along with accelerating the backups by utilizing the same deduplication technology at the endpoint or on the storage device. It requires compatible software which can talk over the proprietary Catalyst protocol.,Catalyst deduplication technology is very effective.
Catalyst protocol maximizes backup speeds.
Design with disk shelves provides dense storage and minimizes the rack units required to deploy.
Offers NFS, CIFS/SMB, and virtual tape library functionality for compatibility (in addition to Catalyst stores).,For fastest performance and best dedupe, ISV software supporting Catalyst required
VTL capability requires more overhead and space due to aging policies, etc.
Use of CIFS/SMB for backups is significantly slower than Catalyst.,9,While not completely eliminating tape, it has relegated the use of tape to monthly and annual backups for compliance. It has reduced the recurring expense of tape media.
It has increased the length of the retention period because of its efficiency in storing backups.
The online backup repositories are now replicated to the secondary datacenter, a capability not possible with tapes.,SolidFire, HP ProLiant DL, HP ProLiant BladeSystemPhilip Sellers
