Overall Satisfaction with HPE StoreOnce

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.
  • StoreOnce Catalyst Stores
  • CIFS shares
  • Deduplication
  • It has helped us reduced our overall backup storage footprint
  • It provides faster backup and restores compared to tape devices.
  • Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery
