BB916A Use Case
Enterprise Backup Capacity Expansion for Data Growth
A mid-sized financial services firm leveraged the BB916A-HPE StoreOnce 5100 48TB Capacity Upg Kit to seamlessly expand on-premises backup storage by 48 TB without additional rack-space. Integrated with existing HPE StoreOnce appliances and leveraging global deduplication, the upgrade maintained sub-hour backup windows for 100+ virtual machines while reducing raw storage needs by up to 90%. Business outcome: scalable, enterprise-grade capacity growth that drives down total cost of ownership and delivers consistent RTOs and RPOs under stringent SLAs.
Accelerated Disaster Recovery and Remote Office Replication
A distributed retail chain deployed the BB916A-HPE StoreOnce 5100 48TB Capacity Upg Kit at two satellite offices to double local backup capacity and optimize WAN-efficient replication to its central DR site. Leveraging HPE Catalyst Copy and end-to-end AES-256 encryption, the solution cut overnight replication traffic by 75% and guaranteed sub-4-hour site-failover readiness. Business outcome: robust, bandwidth-optimized DR compliance with fast recovery times and minimized data-transfer costs.
Tape Replacement and Cost-Effective Archival Modernization
A government agency replaced legacy LTO tape workflows by adding the BB916A-HPE StoreOnce 5100 48TB Capacity Upg Kit to its existing StoreOnce infrastructure. The upgrade eliminated off-site tape shipping, accelerated long-term data retention through policy-based tiering to cloud, and simplified compliance reporting. Business outcome: 60% reduction in archival operational expenses, near-instant restore capabilities for audit data, and improved regulatory adherence with automated retention controls.
