- HPE 3PAR Virtual Lock Software supports data retention for internal governance and eDiscovery purposes by protecting volumes and volume copies from intentional or unintentional deletion.
- The HPE 3PAR Virtual Lock Software allows a user-configurable retention period that enables individual storage volumes or copies to be locked for a specified period of time.
HPE 3PAR Virtual Lock software is designed to help customers meet data governance and eDiscovery needs more efficiently and flexibly than with existing storage products. Virtual Lock software gives users the ability to protect data volumes and volume copies from intentional or unintentional deletions. During the user-specified retention period, volumes and copies can be read but are protected against deletion, even by an administrator with the highest level user privileges. Virtual Lock software is "thin-aware", so it works on both standard and thin provisioned storage volumes copies.
