HPE 3PAR StoreServ End of Life: Upgrade to HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000
HPE 3PAR StoreServ 7000-series arrays are already past HPE's support window, and the 8000 series loses HPE hardware and engineering support on August 31, 2026 — with even the newer 20000-series R2 controllers holding support only through May 1, 2027. HPE's official refresh path for the entire 3PAR StoreServ family is HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000, an all-NVMe, disaggregated storage platform available in TAA-compliant configurations for public-sector and enterprise buyers. Uniqcli can quote your Alletra Storage MP upgrade and help plan the data migration off your existing 3PAR array.
Where HPE 3PAR StoreServ 7000/8000/20000 stands
HPE 3PAR StoreServ 7000/7000c has been fully out of HPE support since October 31, 2022; the 8000 series reaches its HPE support end date on August 31, 2026 (about five weeks away); and 20000-series R2 controllers remain supported through May 1, 2027.
Support end dates for 3PAR StoreServ vary significantly by exact model and controller generation (7000 vs. 7000c vs. 8000 vs. 20000 R2), so before making a purchasing decision, confirm your array's specific end-of-support date and serial number using HPE's official Product Lifecycle / Retirement tool at support.hpe.com.
Why move to HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000
Close the support and security gap
The 3PAR 7000 series has been fully unsupported since October 31, 2022, and the 8000 series loses HPE engineering support on August 31, 2026 — meaning no more firmware updates, security patches, or guaranteed spare parts once that date passes.
All-NVMe performance
Alletra Storage MP B10000 is built on an all-NVMe, disaggregated architecture delivering sub-millisecond latency, a major step up from 3PAR's earlier SAS/SSD hybrid controller design.
Guaranteed availability
HPE backs Alletra Storage MP with a 100% data-availability guarantee, replacing 3PAR's legacy uptime commitments with HPE's current-generation resiliency architecture.
Trade-in credit and TAA-compliant options
HPE has offered a limited-time trade-up credit worth up to $25,000 toward a 3PAR-to-Alletra refresh, and Uniqcli can configure your order as TAA-compliant for federal, SLED, and healthcare procurement.

Frequently asked
Is my HPE 3PAR StoreServ array still supported by HPE?
It depends on the exact model. The 3PAR 7000/7000c series has been fully out of HPE support since October 31, 2022. The 8000 series is scheduled to lose HPE support on August 31, 2026 — about five weeks from now. The 20000-series R2 controllers remain supported through May 1, 2027. Because these dates vary by controller and configuration, confirm your specific model and serial number on HPE's official lifecycle tool before making a decision.
What is HPE's official replacement for 3PAR StoreServ?
HPE's designated refresh path for the entire 3PAR StoreServ family (7000, 8000, and 20000 series) is HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000, an all-NVMe, disaggregated storage platform built on HPE's current storage architecture.
