HPE StoreOnce

HPE replaced the aging Gen4 disk-based line (5260, 5660, and related models) with Gen5 systems built for less rack space and power per TB. The 3720 and 3760 launched first, followed by the all-flash 7700 and high-end 5720 in Q1 2026. HPE reports up to 80% less rack space and roughly 18-24% lower power draw versus the equivalent Gen4 models, alongside real performance gains, not just efficiency claims.

The 3720 (18 TB entry point) suits small sites and remote offices. The 3760 (108-216 TB, up to 25 TB/hr) fits mid-size data-center backup. The 5720 (up to 576 TB usable, up to 70 TB/hr, 60:1 dedup) is the enterprise workhorse. The all-flash 7700 (up to 552 TB usable, up to 300 TB/hr) targets tight RPO/RTO windows at scale. Share your protected front-end capacity, retention policy, and backup window and we will map you to the right model and validate it against your backup software.

Yes. Both are certified Veeam Ready as Primary Target Repository, meaning they passed Veeam's compatibility, functional, and performance test suite for backup and restore operations with Veeam Backup & Replication 13, including Instant VM Recovery and Secure Restore scan scenarios.

HPE documents data-reduction ratios up to 60:1 on the StoreOnce 5720 using fine-grained 4 KB variable-length chunking, with the same dedupe engine across the Gen5 line. Actual results vary with data type, change rate, backup settings, schedule, and retention policy, so we model expected savings against your specific workloads rather than quoting one number for every environment.

Immutable backups, encryption, dual-authorization controls, and air-gapped copy options prevent recovery points from being silently altered or deleted. HPE has also added secure direct access to immutable StoreOnce data for malware scanning and cyber forensics, so teams can identify a verified clean recovery point instead of restoring blind after an incident.

Yes, through Cloud Bank Storage. It extends on-premises Catalyst stores to AWS S3 (with Glacier for cold data) or Azure Blob (with Archive for cold data), sending only unique, deduplicated, encrypted data off-box. This is how the 7700 scales to 2.7 PB effective capacity and the 5720 to 1.7 PB without altering how backup jobs run.

Uniqcli is an authorized HPE partner and quotes StoreOnce against GSA MAS (application in progress), SAP/FAR channels, GPC direct, and GPC purchases, with TAA-compliant configurations available where thresholds require it. Submit your environment details through our quote form and we will return a validated configuration and pricing.

VSA is the software-defined version of StoreOnce, licensed by usable capacity from 4 TB up to 500 TB (or 1 TB minimum via a license server for many small sites), and it protects up to 36 TB/hr, extendable to 1,500 TB/hr with Cloud Bank Storage. It runs on your own VMware or Hyper-V hosts, making it the right fit for edge sites, remote offices, and proof-of-concept testing before a hardware commitment. A 1 TB freeware tier is available for evaluation.
