Software-defined storage leadership from pure software to turnkey systems

All HP StoreVirtual solutions utilize a common operating system across appliance offerings as well as virtual storage appliance offerings. The HP StoreVirtual feature set delivers the benefits of advanced data services like adaptive optimization, multi-site high availability and thin provisioning for one low, all-inclusive price.

The StoreVirtual 4335 with Adaptive Optimization is the latest addition to HP’s leading software-defined storage portfolio, based on version 11.0 of the highly portable HP LeftHand Operating System (OS). HP StoreVirtual Storage offers customers a choice of HP ProLiant rack- and blade-based hardware models, ora wide range of StoreVirtual Virtual Storage Appliances (VSAs)including a free 1TB StoreVirtual VSA which HP includes with the purchase of eligible HP ProLiant Generation 8 (Gen8) servers.

The scale-out nature of the solution means customers can achieve near linear improvements in performance each time a system is added. This enables SMB customers to meet rapidly changing performance and capacity requirements by growing flexibly and non-disruptively from a low or no-cost VSA which runs on any x86 server to a clustered configuration of multiple StoreVirtual4335 Hybrid Arrays that delivers resilient shared storage capable of faster processing. In addition, customers can easily add storage tiers or configure disaster recovery between physical and virtual storage appliances.

The latest version of the HP LeftHand OS also includes integration with Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager via SMI-S and VMware vCenter Server via the HP Insight Control plug-in. These integrations enable storage provisioning at the same time virtual machines are defined to streamline workflow and speed deployment.
