Features and Benefits

HP StoreVirtual 4000 Storage

All inclusive feature set enables enterprise functionality at an affordable price

Storage Clustering simplifies scalability

Storage Clustering allows a customer to consolidate multiple storage nodes into pools of storage. All available capacity and performance is aggregated and available to every volume in the cluster. As storage needs increase the HP StoreVirtual can scale performance and capacity on-line.

Network RAID delivers new levels of data availability

Network RAID stripes and protects multiple copies of data across a cluster of storage nodes, eliminating any single point of failure in the HP StoreVirtual array. Applications have continuous data availability in the event of a disk, controller, storage node, power, network, or site failure. Choose the right Network RAID level for each volume in the cluster based on capacity and performance needs.

Thin Provisioning reduces costs by increasing storage efficiency

Thin Provisioning allocates space only as data is actually written without requiring pre-allocation of storage. This raises the overall utilization and efficiency of the HP StoreVirtual Storage, reduces costs and ultimately increases the ROI.

Application Integrated Snapshots for VMware and Windows simplify data protection

Snapshots create thinly provisioned, instant point-in-time copies of data on a per-volume basis. Administrators access snapshots to recover individual files from the volume, or rollback an entire volume. Built-in application integration provides automated quiescing for VMware and Hyper-V VMs and Microsoft VSS applications.

Remote Copy reduces costs for disaster recovery

Remote Copy replicates snapshots between StoreVirtual arrays at primary/remote locations. Copies are thinly provisioned with no space reservation required. Remote Copy enables centralized backup and disaster recovery on a per-volume basis and leverages application integrated snapshots for faster recovery.

Superior availability and disaster recovery

Integrated replication for disaster recovery

HP StoreVirtual Storage includes integrated replication at no additional cost that simplifies management with simple failover and failback.

Change configurations without incurring downtime

Administrators can add capacity, increase performance, grow and migrate volumes between HP StoreVirtual clusters on the fly with no application downtime.

Scalable Performance

Purchase only what you need today

Avoid up-front cost and the potential performance constraints. Purchase only what's needed today, then grow the performance, capacity, and redundancy of your StoreVirtual array online as storage requirements evolve. Buying storage only when needed simplifies planning and relieves budget pressures.

Scale performance and capacity simultaneously

Each time a storage node is added to the StoreVirtual cluster, the capacity, performance, and redundancy of the entire storage solution increases.

Avoid disruptive upgrades

Add resources to the StoreVirtual cluster non-disruptively as capacity and performance requirements increase. Applications remain online during maintenance events (adding nodes, updating software or firmware) for best in class availability.
