Accelerated Virtual Environment Backup with BB928A-HPE StoreOnce 8Gb Fibre Channel Card
Scenario: A global enterprise runs 2,000+ VMware vSphere VMs and faces a shrinking nightly backup window. By deploying the BB928A-HPE StoreOnce 8Gb Fibre Channel Card directly into the StoreOnce appliance and integrating via HPE StoreOnce Catalyst, the IT team sustains up to 750 MB/s of deduplicated backup throughput over Fibre Channel. Benefit: Backup windows shrink by 55%, network load drops by 60%, and SLA compliance is met consistently—enabling faster restores and reduced infrastructure costs.
Optimized Disaster-Recovery Replication for Regulatory Compliance
Scenario: A healthcare organization must replicate petabyte-scale backups offsite to satisfy HIPAA and GDPR mandates. Leveraging the BB928A-HPE StoreOnce 8Gb Fibre Channel Card for high-speed Catalyst replication, they achieve sub-15-minute RPOs over limited WAN links. Benefit: Ensures continuous data protection with 90% less bandwidth consumption, meets regulatory recovery SLAs, and delivers rapid failover testing—all with industry-certified reliability.
High-Speed Database Backup Acceleration for Mission-Critical Workloads
Scenario: A financial services firm runs daily Oracle and SQL Server full backups against heavy I/O databases. By installing the BB928A-HPE StoreOnce 8Gb Fibre Channel Card and configuring with HPE StoreOnce Catalyst, the team attains sustained 700 MB/s backup throughput, inline deduplication, and compression at source. Benefit: Backup performance improves 3×, storage footprint reduces by 80%, and backup windows shrink from eight hours to under three—ensuring transaction-consistent protection and faster recovery time objectives.
