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.
Adaptive Optimization provides SSD performance without SSD cost (VSA and 4335 only)
With new auto-tiering technologies for HP StoreVirtual Storage come opportunities to optimize the cost and performance of
StoreVirtual storage clusters. By utilizing Adaptive Optimization technology to migrate data between storage tiers within
individual storage systems, StoreVirtual products provide a unique method for balancing performance versus capacity within a
storage pool and lowering overall cost.

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.
10GbE upgrade available for 4330 platform
