HP StoreVirtual VSA Software LTU

Virtualized Shared Storage for a Variety of Environments.
Transform the internal storage of your vSphere and Hyper-V servers into fully featured shared storage for applications and virtual environments. HP StoreVirtual VSA delivers the scalability and high-availability of the LeftHand arrays to the S of the SMB. Extend the life of your existing servers by virtualizing your environment and using StoreVirtual VSA to convert your server resources into a new tier of storage, or even storage for your testing sandbox. Use StoreVirtual VSA with solid-state drives (SSDs) in your ProLiant servers and blades to provide a high performance tier for your storage environment. Data volumes that reside on SSD nodes can be migrated to and from both physical and virtual LeftHand-based clusters, online. HP P4500 Virtualization SAN and Multi-site SAN each include VSA licenses at no extra charge. Now you can provide the dedicated performance required for your main site, and provide fully featured shared storage and disaster recovery for your smaller sites. Start small and grow big: Avoid up front storage costs by using VSA on existing disk storage today; then move to a physical LeftHand array as your storage needs evolve. StoreVirtual VSA seamlessly migrates all data to any LeftHand array with Peer Motion functionality.

Affordable Enterprise Functionality with Comprehensive Feature Set.
Scale-out storage clustering allows the consolidation of multiple virtual storage nodes into pools of shared storage. All available capacity and performance is aggregated and accessible to every volume in the cluster. As storage needs increase StoreVirtual VSA can scale out while remaining online. Network RAID stripes and protects multiple copies of data across a cluster of storage nodes, eliminating any single point of failure in the StoreVirtual VSA array. Applications have continuous data availability in the event of a disk, controller, storage node, power, network, or site failure. Multi-site SAN availability gives the StoreVirtual VSA the ability to assign storage nodes in the cluster to different sites (racks, rooms, buildings, and cities) and provide seamless application high availability with transparent failover/failback across sites—all automatically. Reservationless snapshots & thin provisioning allocate space only as data is written without requiring pre-allocation of storage, raising the overall utilization and efficiency of LeftHand-based arrays. Snapshots create thinly provisioned, instant point-in-time backups of data on a per-volume basis. StoreVirtual VSA is tightly integrated with storage management functions of VMware and Microsoft applications. For instance, the LeftHand Remote Copy feature enables centralized backup and disaster recovery on a per-volume basis and leverages application integrated snapshots for faster recovery.

Simple to Deploy, Easy to Manage.
Zero to VSA Automated Installation: Simple and quick wizard driven installation. Scriptable installs allow automated repeatable deployment of VSA configurations. Installs easily on any vSphere or Hyper-V server: This includes over 100 HP ProLiant rack and server blades. No external SAN required: Creates shared storage out of internal or external disk capacity (DAS, SAN; FC or iSCSI). Simplified management: All StoreVirtual VSA nodes in your environment, onsite or across multiple sites, are managed from the Centralized Management Console (CMC) for simple, easy-to-manage storage. The CMC features a simple, built-in best practice analyzer and easy-to-use update process. Try it for free: You can download a full-functional copy of VSA and get some hands-on time to see how easy it is to use.
