HP StoreVirtual 4335 SSD/HDD System for SMBs

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP announced the StoreVirtual 4335 Storage, a software-defined storage system for SMBs to enable virtualized application performance while reducing costs by dynamically moving data between solid state and traditional disk drives.

“Workloads in virtual server environments can be unpredictable and are heavily dependent on the underlying storage for performance. This creates challenges in meeting service levels-particularly for companies looking to virtualize more of their applications, implementing desktop virtualization, or simply experiencing rapid virtualized application growth,” said Barun Lala, director, storage, HP India.

StoreVirtual 4335 is a hybrid storage system which offers an Adaptive Optimization feature that automates the movement of frequently accessed data from HDD drives to SSDs. This auto-tiering capability accelerates application performance compared to HDDs, and delivers 59% lower cost than using SSDs alone.

As a result, SMB customers spend less on storage while supporting more VMs.

Balancing performance and cost to make the most out of SSD capacity
Solid state and flash media allow customers to achieve performance levels that eliminate the roadblocks to virtualization performance. However, affordability has traditionally limited SMB adoption of SSD technology.

StoreVirtual 4335 Hybrid Storage is a purpose-built system designed to accelerate workloads affordably.

Software-defined storage leadership from pure software to turnkey systems
All StoreVirtual solutions utilize a common OS across appliance offerings as well as virtual storage appliance offerings. The StoreVirtual feature set delivers the benefits of data services like adaptive optimization, multi-site HA and thin provisioning for one low, all-inclusive price.

StoreVirtual 4335 is available starting at $41,000.

The standard HP StoreVirtual 4335 Storage configuration includes:
