BB927A Use Case
High-Speed Enterprise Database Backup Acceleration
Scenario: A global financial services firm runs multi-terabyte Oracle and SQL Server databases and requires nightly backups within tight maintenance windows. By integrating the BB927A-HPE StoreOnce 10GbE-T Network Card into the StoreOnce backup appliance, backups transfer at line-rate speeds over existing Ethernet infrastructure. Outcome: Backup windows shrink by 50% and RPOs improve to under one hour, ensuring regulatory compliance and operational continuity.
Secure Disaster Recovery Replication to Remote Sites
Scenario: A multinational corporation must replicate deduplicated backups across geographically dispersed data centers over limited-bandwidth links. The BB927A-HPE StoreOnce 10GbE-T Network Card accelerates deduplicated data replication while minimizing network overhead. Outcome: RTOs decrease by 30%, RPOs approach zero for critical workloads, and total network utilization drops by 40%, delivering resilient disaster recovery with lower operational costs.
Accelerated Virtual Machine Snapshot and Restore Operations
Scenario: A large cloud service provider hosts thousands of VMware and Hyper-V virtual machines requiring frequent snapshot backups and rapid restores during peak usage. Deploying the BB927A-HPE StoreOnce 10GbE-T Network Card provides dedicated high-throughput connectivity for StoreOnce appliances, optimizing virtual environment data flows. Outcome: Snapshot backup times reduce by 60%, VM restore times improve by 45%, and service-level agreements for uptime and performance are consistently met.
