Storage Virtualisation

Break through virtualization bottlenecks. Maintain business continuity. Reduce costs.

Server virtualization brings your company more efficient, more available IT infrastructure. But it also changes storage requirements. Traditional controller-based SANs often can hold you back from realizing the full potential of virtualization. HP P4000 G2 SAN solutions (formerly LeftHand) can help:

Eliminate storage bottlenecks associated with a virtualized server environment and the growth of VMs
Enable high availability and disaster recovery with an all-inclusive enterprise feature set
Reduce costs as you boost storage efficiencies

Rethink server virtualization

You need a SAN for virtualized servers—one that’s an investment with a long-term payoff. You also need shared storage to take full advantage of advanced virtualization capabilities. Consider the HP StorageWorks P4000 G2 SAN Solutions, optimized for virtualized servers, database and email applications. If you are a small-to-midsized company wresting with sophisticated storage requirements, a pay-as-you-grow, all-inclusive pricing model plus intuitive storage management software make HP P4000 SAN solutions your ideal solution.
