Deliver on your SLAs with fast, efficient, and reliable protection for HPE Nimble Storage and HPE Primera.
Create and automate backup, replication and archival SLA policies with just a few clicks.
Transform backup from a reactive insurance policy to a proactive value-add service.
All flash-powered snapshots provide fast and non-disruptive online recovery.
Accelerate backups by 23x, 1 restores by 15x, 2 and reduce cloud costs by 20x. 3
Leverage RMC’s Peer Copy feature to bi-directionally replicate data volumes between HPE Nimble Storage and HPE Primera arrays — eliminating the need to use host-specific or hypervisor-specific tools and expensive network-based appliances.
Backup your HPE primary storage array to the cloud in less than five minutes — and enjoy the flexibility to restore on-premises or in the public cloud — without changing your existing backup policies or workflows. RMC orchestrates everything: local snapshots and replication between on-prem arrays — and backups to HPE Cloud Volumes Backup, a fast, simple cloud backup service that delivers on-demand data protection services and predictable, pay-as-you-go billing.
Seamlessly integrate with your workflows
Utilize your existing backup ISV or application and make your backup and recovery experience simple, easy, and fast. Recovery Manager Central integrates with VMware vSphere VMs and Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, and SAP HANA databases to enable application-consistent snapshots of your critical workflows — and RMC can also take crash-consistent snapshots for any application or filesystem data on both HPE Primera and HPE Nimble Storage.

Get flash-integrated data protection and built-for-cloud simplicity with HPE Recovery Manager Central.
Fast, efficient, simple, reliable.
Rapid, non-disruptive backup and online recovery
- HPE RMC eliminates the backup window and enables rapid online recovery with hundreds of fast, non-disruptive, application-consistent snapshots.
- This reduces the backup impact on your applications, which supports the performance of your HPE Primera and HPE Nimble Storage deployment.
Protect workloads fast as flash
- With HPE RMC Express Protect, the performance that flash application SLAs require is met.
- Achieve 23 times faster backups and 15 times faster restores than traditional methods by enabling backups of snapshot data from HPE Primera and HPE Nimble Storage to an HPE StoreOnce appliance (physical or virtual) or to HPE Cloud Volumes Backup — independent of backup server software. 6
Simple, efficient data protection
- HPE RMC simplifies the backup architecture required for protecting applications.
- All backups are deduplicated using HPE StoreOnce deduplication technology, thereby reducing backup storage requirements by up to 20 times. 7
Put your backup data to work
- HPE Primera and HPE Nimble Storage integrated snapshot management solves the challenges of data proliferation and manual data provisioning with fast, automated and zero-impact data access for recovery, analytics and app development.
- Enable users to backup from on-premises HPE Primera and HPE Nimble Storage arrays to HPE Cloud Volumes Backup — with flexibility to restore on-prem or in the cloud.
Application-managed data protection
- With application integrated protection, you can manage application consistent snapshots, backup, and recovery directly from your preferred native interface.
- HPE RMC also enables crash-consistent backups and snapshots on any application running on HPE Primera and HPE Nimble Storage.
Self-contained, fully independent backups
- Backups stored on HPE StoreOnce are self-contained, fully independent volumes.
- With HPE RMC, these can be restored back to the original or a different HPE Primera or HPE Nimble Storage array in the event of a disaster, or if physical problems occur in the production storage environment.

99X Technology now protects ahead of the flash curve
99X, a leading cloud service provider based in Norway, implemented a converged data protection solution and reduced the backup time for a single VM by a factor of 20.
Challenge
Legacy storage and backup systems could not deliver the speed, flexibility, and efficiency 99X wanted. They needed to lower TCO, simplify management, improve application performance, and enhance data protection.
Solution
99X replaced their previous systems with HPE 3PAR StoreServ 20850 Storage enterprise all-flash arrays, the HPE StoreOnce 6500 System, and HPE Recovery Manager Central.
“We can now direct our focus on protecting data that really matters and can go to market with a lower price and a higher quality service.”
Result
99X reduced backup times for a single vSphere Virtual Machine (VM) by a factor of twenty. They currently run 40 to 50 backups simultaneously, and on average they take between 25 and 30 minutes to complete.
