Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
We are using HPE StoreOnce as our backup server to store organization wide backups for database, virtual machines and applications. We are also using HPE StoreOnce to mount NFS drives for network storage. Additionally, we are using HPE StoreOnce Catalyst Stores on the server to store Oracle Database RMAN backups.
- We really like the deduplication feature of HPE StoreOnce. It helps reduce storage footprint by 1:3 to 1:10 depending on type of files being stored.
- It's easy to manage files on HPE StoreOnce servers using command line options.
- We use Veeam Backup Server software to manage our backups on HPE StoreOnce.
- StoreOnce to StoreOnce Replication is not real time. It needs to be setup as copy jobs with specific time interval.
- There is not StoreOnce Catalyst Stores Replication between two HPE StoreOnce servers.
- Navigating through large number of files on the server is slow and sometimes causes GUI interface to hang.

HPE StoreOnce has nothing but great usability and superb support
We don't currently use it at our home office, but we have deployed it with two customers as a DRP backup for vSphere infrastructure and a couple of IBM LPARs running RMAN.
- It handles the storage on a DRP quite well.
- It was not that hard to implement it, even though 3Par was easier.
- Setting it up on vSphere was painless.
- It was easy to link the paths on a couple VIOSes.
- Could be more user-friendly when deploying.
- Cost is as friendly as Pure Storage Array.
- HPE does well support this technology.
Ours 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.

An awesome backup infrastructure solution
We 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.
HPE 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.
