Hewlett-Packard will extend its 3Par enterprise storage line into flash-only territory this week, promising to combine higher speed with familiar software. The HP 3Par StoreServ 7450 Storage system, being introduced on Tuesday at the HP Discover conference in Las Vegas, was designed from the ground up just for SSDs (solid-state drives). It includes enhancements to 3Par software and the 3Par ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) to better take advantage of the speed of SSDs, according to Craig Nunes, vice president of marketing for storage at HP.
