 Dear Chris: 
 On behalf
of 3PARdata, Inc. (the “Company”), I am pleased to invite you, at the request of our Board of Directors (“Board”), to join our Board and to serve as Chairman of our Audit Committee. 
 As you are aware, the Company is a California corporation and therefore your rights and duties as a director of the Company will be prescribed by
California law, our charter documents as well as by the policies established by our Board from time to time. 
 In addition to serving on our
Board and Audit Committee, you may be asked to participate in additional committees that may be established from time to time by the Board. Our Board meetings are generally held every other month at the Company’s offices in Fremont, California,
and our committee meetings are convened as needed. We hope that your schedule will permit you to attend all of the meetings of the Board and any committees that you are a member. In addition, with advanced notice, you may be asked to participate in
telephonic meetings to address special matters. 
 It is expected that during the term of your service on the Board you will not engage in
any other employment, occupation, consulting or other business activity that competes with the business in which the Company is now involved in or becomes involved in during the term of your service to the Company, nor will you engage in any other
activities that conflict with your obligations to the Company. We ask that, if you have not already done so, you disclose to the Company any and all agreements and arrangements to which you are a party that may affect your eligibility to serve as a
member of the Company’s Board. In accepting this offer, you represent to us that you do not know of any conflict that would restrict you from becoming a director of the Company and that you will not provide the Company with any documents,
records or other confidential information belonging to any other parties. 
 In connection with your service on our Board and Audit
Committee, the Company will recommend a compensation arrangement for you that includes the following: 
 As a member of the Board:

  

	 	 •
	 	 Upon your joining the Board, an initial stock option to purchase 70,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, which
option shall vest as to 1/48th of the shares subject to such option each month following the date of grant, subject to your continuing to serve on the
Board through each such month; and 

  

	 	 •
	 	 On each annual anniversary of your joining the Board, a “refresh” stock option to purchase an additional
17,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, each of which option shall vest as to 1/12th of the shares subject to such option each month following
the three-year anniversary of the date of grant, subject to your continuing to serve on the Board through each such month. 

  

	 	•	 	 Subject to the paragraph below regarding a change of control, for the avoidance of doubt, in the event you cease to serve on the Board, whether voluntary or
otherwise, all vesting will cease.

 As the
Chairman of the Audit Committee: 
  

	 	•	 	 Upon your accepting the position of Chairman of the Company’s Audit Committee, an initial stock option to purchase 32,000 shares of the Company’s Common
Stock, which option shall vest as to l/48th of the shares subject to such option each month following the date of grant, subject to your continuing to act as Chairman through each such month; and 

  

	 	 •
	 	 On each annual anniversary of your accepting the position of Chairman of the Company’s Audit Committee, a
“refresh” stock option to purchase an additional 8,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, each which option shall vest as to 1/12th of
the shares subject to such option each month following the three-year anniversary of the date of grant, subject to your continuing to act as Chairman through each such month. 

  

	 	•	 	 Subject to the paragraph below regarding a change of control, for the avoidance of doubt, in the event you cease to serve as Chairman of the Company’s Audit
Committee, whether voluntary or otherwise, all vesting will cease. 

 Each of the aforementioned options will be
recommended for grant at the then-current fair market value of the shares underlying such options on their respective dates of grant. Further, it will be recommended that in the event your continuous status as a member of the Board is terminated
immediately following a change of control of the Company all of the shares subject to each of the aforementioned options then-outstanding shall vest immediately. In addition, each of such options will be otherwise generally subject to the terms and
conditions of Company’s 2000 Stock Plan and the stock option agreements evidencing such options. 
 In addition to the compensation
described above, you will be entitled to a reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred by you in connection with your service to the Company and your attendance of board and committee meetings in accordance with the Company’s established
policies. 
 The Company’s payment of compensation to its directors is subject to many restrictions under applicable law and, as such,
you should be aware that the compensation arrangements described above are subject to such future changes and modifications as the Company’s Board may deem necessary or appropriate. For example, in the event of our initial public offering, we
anticipate that the Company will reevaluate its director compensation arrangements and adopt certain compensation policies and guidelines appropriate for a similarly situated public company. 
 Please note that nothing in this letter or any agreement granting you stock options should be construed to interfere with or otherwise restrict in any
way the rights of the Company or our Board or shareholders to remove you from the Board or any committee in accordance with the provisions of the Company’s charter documents and applicable law. Furthermore, except as other otherwise provided to
other non-employee directors or required by law, the Company does not intend to afford you any rights as an employee, including, without limitation, the right to further employment or any social benefits. 
 This letter sets forth the terms of your service to the Company and supersedes any prior representations or agreements, whether written or oral. This
letter may not be modified or amended except by a written agreement, signed by an officer of the Company and by you.

 Exhibit 10.15 
 3PARdata, Inc. 
 MANAGEMENT RETENTION AGREEMENT 
 This Management Retention Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between Alastair Short (the “Executive”) and 3PARdata, Inc.
(the “Company”), effective as of July 1, 2002 (the “Effective Date”). 
 R E C I T A L S 
 A. It is expected that the Company from time to time may consider a Change of Control (as defined below). The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”)
recognizes that such consideration can be a distraction to the Executive and can cause the Executive to consider alternative employment opportunities. The Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to
assure that the Company will have the continued dedication and objectivity of the Executive, notwithstanding the possibility, threat or occurrence of a Change of Control of the Company. 
 B. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to provide the Executive with an incentive to continue his or her employment and to motivate the Executive to maximize the
value of the Company upon a Change of Control for the benefit of its shareholders. 
 C. The Board believes that it is imperative to provide the Executive
with certain severance benefits upon the Executive’s termination of employment following a Change of Control which provides the Executive with enhanced financial security and incentive and encouragement to remain with the Company
notwithstanding the possibility of a Change of Control. 
 D. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 4 below.

 The parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Term of Agreement.
This Agreement shall terminate upon the date that all obligations of the parties hereto with respect to this Agreement have been satisfied. 
 2. At-Will
Employment. The Company and the Executive acknowledge that the Executive’s employment is and shall continue to be at-will, as defined under applicable law, and may be terminated by either party at any time, with or without cause or notice. If
the Executive’s employment terminates for any reason, including (without limitation) any termination prior to a Change of Control, the Executive shall not be entitled to any payments, benefits, damages, awards or compensation other than as
provided by this Agreement, or as may otherwise be available in accordance with the Company’s established employee plans or pursuant to other written agreements with the Company, including the Executive’s offer letter with the Company
dated May 8, 2002. 
 3. Change of Control Severance Benefits. 
  

 (a) Involuntary Termination other than for Cause, Death or Disability or Voluntary Termination for Good Reason Following
A Change of Control. If, within twelve (12) months following a Change of Control, the Executive’s employment is terminated (i) involuntarily by the Company other than for Cause, death or Disability or (ii) by the Executive
pursuant to a Voluntary Termination for Good Reason, then, subject to the Executive entering into and not revoking a mutual release of claims with the Company substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement, the Company shall
provide the Executive with the following benefits upon such termination: 
 (i) Severance Payment. A lump-sum cash payment in an amount equal to twelve
(12) months of the Executive’s Annual Compensation; 
 (ii) Continued Executive Benefits. Company-paid health, dental, vision, long-term disability
and life insurance coverage at the same level of coverage as was provided to the Executive immediately prior to the Change of Control and at the same ratio of Company premium payment to Executive premium payment as was in effect immediately prior to
the Change of Control (the “Company-Paid Coverage”). If such coverage included the Executive’s dependents immediately prior to the Change of Control, such dependents shall also be covered at Company expense. Company-Paid Coverage
shall continue until the earlier of (A) one year from the date of termination, or (B) the date upon which the Executive and his or her dependents become covered under another employer’s group health, dental, vision, long-term
disability or life insurance plans that provide the Executive and his or her dependents with comparable benefits and levels of coverage. For purposes of Title X of the Consolidated Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), the date of
the “qualifying event” for the Executive and his or her dependents shall be the date upon which the Company-Paid Coverage commences, and each month of Company-Paid Coverage provided hereunder shall offset a month of continuation coverage
otherwise due under COBRA. 
 (iii) Equity Compensation Accelerated Vesting. Fifty percent (50%) of the unvested portion of any stock option, restricted
stock or other Company equity compensation held by the Executive shall be automatically accelerated in full so as to become completely vested or, if the Executive has exercised his or her early exercise rights with respect to any stock option, then
fifty percent (50%) of the unreleased portion of the stock option shall be automatically released from the Company’s repurchase option pursuant to the stock option. 
 (b) Voluntary Resignation. If the Executive’s employment terminates by reason of the Executive’s voluntary resignation (and is not a Voluntary Termination for Good Reason), then the Executive shall not be
entitled to receive severance or other benefits except for those (if any) as may then be established under the Company’s then existing severance and benefits plans or pursuant to other written agreements with the Company. 
 (c) Disability; Death. If the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates as a result of the Executive’s Disability, or if the Executive’s
employment is terminated due to the death of the Executive, then the Executive shall not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits except for those (if any) as may then be established under the Company’s 

 
then existing severance and benefits plans or pursuant to other written agreements with the Company. 
 (d) Termination for Cause. If the Executive is terminated for Cause, then the Executive shall not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits. 
 (e) Termination Apart from Change of Control. In the event the Executive’s employment is terminated for any reason, either prior to the occurrence of a Change of
Control or after the twelve (12) month period following a Change of Control, then the Executive shall be entitled to receive severance and any other benefits only as may then be established under the Company’s then existing severance and
benefits plans or pursuant to other written agreements with the Company, including the Executive’s offer letter with the Company dated May 8, 2002. 
 4. Definition of Terms. The following terms referred to in this Agreement shall have the following meanings: 
 (a) Annual Compensation.
“Annual Compensation” shall mean an amount equal to the Executive’s Company annual base salary at the rate in effect immediately preceding the Executive’s date of termination with the Company. 
 (b) Cause. “Cause” shall mean (i) an act of personal dishonesty taken by the Executive in connection with his or her responsibilities as an Executive and
intended to result in substantial personal enrichment of the Executive, (ii) the Executive being convicted of a felony, (iii) a willful act by the Executive which constitutes gross misconduct and which is injurious to the Company,
(iv) following delivery to the Executive of a written demand for performance from the Company which describes the basis for the Company’s reasonable belief that the Executive has not substantially performed his or her duties, continued
violations by the Executive of the Executive’s obligations to the Company which are demonstrably willful and deliberate on the Executive’s part. 
 (c) Change of Control. “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events: 
 (i) Any “person” (as such
term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty
percent (50%) or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; or 
 (ii) The consummation of the
sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all the Company’s assets; or 
 (iii) The consummation of a merger or consolidation of the
Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted
into voting securities of the surviving entity or its parent) at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power 

 
represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity or its parent outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or

 (iv) A change in the composition of the Board occurring within a two-year period, as a result of which fewer than a majority of the directors are
Incumbent Directors. “Incumbent Directors” shall mean directors who either (A) are directors of the Company as of the Effective Date, or (B) are elected, or nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative votes of at
least a majority of those directors whose election or nomination was not in connection with any transaction described in subsections (i), (ii), or (iii) above, or in connection with an actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the election
of directors to the Company. 
 (d) Disability. “Disability” shall mean that the Executive has been unable to perform his or her Company duties as
the result of his or her incapacity due to physical or mental illness, and such inability, at least twenty-six (26) weeks after its commencement, is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Company or its insurers and
acceptable to the Executive or the Executive’s legal representative (such Agreement as to acceptability not to be unreasonably withheld). Termination resulting from Disability may only be effected after at least thirty (30) days’
written notice by the Company of its intention to terminate the Executive’s employment. In the event that the Executive resumes the performance of substantially all of his or her duties hereunder before the termination of his or her employment
becomes effective, the notice of intent to terminate shall automatically be deemed to have been revoked. 
 (e) Voluntary Termination for Good Reason.
“Voluntary Termination for Good Reason” shall mean the Executive voluntarily resigns after the occurrence of any of the following (i) without the Executive’s express written consent, a material reduction of the Executive’s
duties, authority or responsibilities, relative to the Executive’s duties, authority or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to such reduction, or the assignment to the Executive of such reduced duties, authority or responsibilities;
provided, however, that a reduction in duties, authority or responsibilities solely by virtue of the Company being acquired and made part of a larger entity shall not by itself constitute grounds for a “Voluntary Termination for Good
Reason”; (ii) without the Executive’s express written consent, a material reduction, without good business reasons, of the facilities or perquisites (including office space and location) available to the Executive immediately prior to
such reduction; (iii) a reduction by the Company in the base salary of the Executive as in effect immediately prior to such reduction; (iv) a material reduction by the Company in the aggregate level of employee benefits, including bonuses,
to which the Executive was entitled immediately prior to such reduction with the result that the Executive’s aggregate benefits package is materially reduced (other than a reduction that generally applies to Company employees); (v) the
relocation of the Executive to a facility or a location more than 60 miles from the Executive’s then present location, without the Executive’s express written consent; (vi) the failure of the Company to obtain the assumption of this
agreement by any successors contemplated in Section 6(a) below; or (vii) any act or set of facts or circumstances which would, under California case law or statute, constitute a constructive termination of the Executive. 
  

 5. Non-Solicitation. In consideration for the severance benefits the Executive is to receive herein, if any, the
Executive agrees that he or she will not, at any time during the one year following his or her termination date, directly or indirectly solicit any individuals to leave the Company’s (or any of its subsidiaries’) employ for any reason or
interfere in any other manner with the employment relationships at the time existing between the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) and its current or prospective employees. 
 6. Successors. 
 (a) Company’s Successors. Any successor to the Company (whether direct or indirect and whether by
purchase, merger, consolidation, liquidation, spin-off or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets shall assume the obligations under this Agreement and agree expressly to perform the obligations under this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform such obligations in the absence of a succession. For all purposes under this Agreement, the term “Company” shall include any such successor to
the Company’s business and/or assets which executes and delivers the assumption agreement described in this Section 6(a) or which becomes bound by the terms of this Agreement by operation of law. 
 (b) Executive’s Successors. The terms of this Agreement and all rights of the Executive hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the
Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. 
 7. Notice.

 (a) General. Notices and all other communications contemplated by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when
personally delivered or one day following mailing via Federal Express or similar overnight courier service. In the case of the Executive, mailed notices shall be addressed to him or her at the home address which he or she most recently communicated
to the Company in writing. In the case of the Company, mailed notices shall be addressed to its corporate headquarters, and all notices shall be directed to the attention of its Secretary. 
 (b) Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company for Cause or by the Executive pursuant to a Voluntary Termination for Good Reason shall be communicated by a
notice of termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 7(a) of this Agreement. Such notice shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts
and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination under the provision so indicated, and shall specify the termination date (which shall be not more than thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice). The failure by the Executive
to include in the notice any fact or circumstance which contributes to a showing of Voluntary Termination for Good Reason shall not waive any right of the Executive hereunder or preclude the Executive from asserting such fact or circumstance in
enforcing his or her rights hereunder. 
  

 8. Miscellaneous Provisions. 
 (a) Waiver. No provision of this Agreement shall be modified, waived or discharged unless the modification, waiver or discharge is agreed to in writing and signed by the Executive and by two authorized officers of the Company (other than
the Executive). No waiver by either party of any breach of, or of compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement by the other party shall be considered a waiver of any other condition or provision or of the same condition or provision
at another time. 
 (b) Whole Agreement. No agreements, representations or understandings (whether oral or written and whether express or implied) which are
not expressly set forth in this Agreement have been made or entered into by either party with respect to the subject matter hereof, except for the Executive’s offer letter with the Company dated May 8,2002. This Agreement represents the
entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior arrangements and understandings regarding same. 
 (c) Choice of Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. 
 (d) Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof, which shall remain in full force and effect. 
 (e) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same
instrument.
