multiple nodes can fail without interruption of service. In
fact, physically locating half of the storage nodes in one
location and the other half in a different location allows
the system to suffer the complete failure of a location,
or half the storage nodes, and continue to function. You
don’t need to buy additional products or perform extra
administrative tasks. Simply put half of the nodes in a
different location and you have instant, multi-site failover
capability. Combine this feature with a Microsoft Cluster
Server environment for a complete HA Hyper-V envi-
ronment—all at a price you never thought possible.

The power of Hyper-V and
HP SAN/iQ software
HP SAN/iQ software is at the core of every HP
LeftHand P4000 SAN, providing a cost-effective,
easy-to-manage, highly scalable, and highly available
iSCSI storage environment for use with Hyper-V. You can
easily expand the SAN/iQ storage infrastructure by
adding new virtual machines or server capabilities, or
with entirely new instances. SAN/iQ software also lets
administrators take full advantage of VMM’s Intelligent
Placement and automation features to address resource
management problems. The SAN/iQ storage volumes
remain available as the virtual machines are migrated
between servers maintaining service levels and
reducing IT workload.

SAN/iQ software is flexible enough to allow Hyper-V
to start small on a two-node SAN and scale alongside
the business to a 40-node multisite SAN, without
reconfiguring existing volumes or taking the virtual
machines offline. Try that expansion with any other
storage system.
