Description
Is the cost of SANs for your virtual servers holding you back? Want higher availability storage for your virtual servers but lack the budget and room for an external SAN system?
The HP LeftHand P4000 Virtual SAN Appliance Software creates a virtual storage node using resources that already exist inside your virtual servers. These nodes can be clustered together to transform your existing server storage into a clustered storage system that is managed as a single SAN. This allows you to use all VMware ESX advanced features that need shared storage such as VMware HA, VMotion, DRS, and SRM. You can use the P4000 VSA to cluster disks from multiple servers without disruption and add more as needed. The P4000 VSA is a VMware certified compatible SAN/Storage device customers can count on. Installed easily on any VMware ESX server, the P4000 VSA combines server virtualization and SAN on the same server platform and is fully integrated with HP LeftHand P4000 SAN Solutions.
