HPE StoreOnce Key Capabilities
Catalyst — Source-Side Deduplication
HPE StoreOnce Catalyst deduplicates data at the backup server before it leaves the source — reducing network bandwidth consumption, accelerating backups, and maximising deduplication ratios across geographically distributed sites.
Cloud Bank Storage
Transparently offload deduplicated backup data to AWS S3 or Azure Blob Storage via HPE Cloud Bank Storage. Maintains full deduplication across on-premises and cloud — you only pay to store unique data, dramatically reducing cloud storage costs.
Broad Backup ISV Integration
HPE StoreOnce integrates natively with Veeam Backup & Replication, Commvault, Veritas NetBackup, and HPE Recovery Manager Central — supporting all major enterprise backup platforms with certified connectors.
StoreOnce VSA — Software Appliance
Deploy HPE StoreOnce as a software virtual appliance on VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V. Up to 500 TB licensed capacity. Ideal for lab, development, remote office, or cloud environments where physical hardware is not required.
High-Throughput Hardware Appliances
The StoreOnce 5200 delivers up to 33 TB/hr (36–216 TB usable) and the 5250 delivers up to 41 TB/hr (36–864 TB usable) — purpose-built appliances for enterprise data centres with demanding backup windows.
Immutable Backup & Ransomware Protection
HPE StoreOnce supports immutable backup copies via Catalyst that cannot be modified or deleted by ransomware. Combined with air-gapped Cloud Bank Storage, it provides a comprehensive 3-2-1 backup architecture for ransomware recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions — HPE StoreOnce
What is HPE StoreOnce?
HPE StoreOnce is a purpose-built backup deduplication platform that reduces the amount of storage required for backup data by up to 95%. It is available as physical appliances (3620, 3640, 5200, 5250, 5260) for data centres, and as a software virtual appliance (VSA) for VMware and Hyper-V environments up to 500 TB. StoreOnce uses the proprietary Catalyst protocol for source-side deduplication, and integrates with Veeam, Commvault, Veritas NetBackup, and other major backup platforms.
What is HPE StoreOnce Catalyst?
HPE StoreOnce Catalyst is a backup transport protocol that enables source-side deduplication — data is deduplicated at the backup server before it is sent to the StoreOnce appliance. This reduces network bandwidth consumption and dramatically increases deduplication ratios compared to appliance-side deduplication. Catalyst also enables federated deduplication across multiple StoreOnce appliances at different sites, ensuring data is only stored once across the entire enterprise backup environment.
How does HPE Cloud Bank Storage work?
HPE Cloud Bank Storage is a feature of HPE StoreOnce that allows deduplicated backup data to be transparently offloaded to AWS S3 or Azure Blob Storage object storage. The StoreOnce appliance manages tiering between on-premises and cloud automatically. Because data is already deduplicated before it reaches the cloud, you store only unique data in object storage — significantly reducing cloud storage costs compared to sending full backup copies.
Which backup software works with HPE StoreOnce?
HPE StoreOnce integrates with the major enterprise backup platforms: Veeam Backup & Replication (via Veeam Data Mover), Commvault (via MediaAgent), Veritas NetBackup (via OST plug-in), and HPE Recovery Manager Central for application-consistent backup of VMware, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Exchange, and Oracle workloads. All integrations support StoreOnce Catalyst for source-side deduplication.
