HPE StoreVirtual VSA Software

For developing converged compute and storage solutions in virtualized environments, HPE StoreVirtual VSA Software delivers high performance shared storage on your choice of servers and SSD or HDD media. Built on proven data services technology, HPE StoreVirtual VSA delivers software-defined storage by virtualizing up to 50TB of disk capacity per server running VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V or Linux KVM. The HPE StoreVirtual VSA eliminates the need for external shared storage required to implement advanced hypervisor features. HPE StoreVirtual VSA uses scale-out, distributed clustering to provide a pool of storage with enterprise storage features and simple management at reduced cost. Multiple StoreVirtual VSAs running on multiple servers create a clustered pool of storage with the ability to make data highly available by protecting volumes with Network RAID. Adding more StoreVirtual VSAs to the cluster grows the storage pool. With Network RAID, blocks of data are striped and mirrored across multiple StoreVirtual VSAs, allowing volumes and applications to stay online in the event of disk, storage subsystem or server failure. iSCSI connectivity on HPE StoreVirtual VSA supports the use of the storage pools by hypervisors as well as other applications. HPE StoreVirtual VSA fully supports 1GbE and 10GbE environments for connections to both virtual and physical hosts.
Leverage existing converged infrastructure with StoreVirtual VSA and enable higher levels of protection for business critical data services. Easy to use installation wizards assist in the deployment of HPE StoreVirtual VSA on VMware vSphere or Microsoft HyperV. Using the Centralized Management Console, StoreVirtual VSA can be deployed at remote sites and managed centrally as a virtual storage system.

Benefits

• Gain the benefits of an array without requiring a physical storage infrastructure by virtualizing storage resources in a server – reduces cost, footprint, power and cooling

• Take advantage of hypervisor advanced features such as vMotion and Live Migration without purchasing external storage system

• Create a storage pool which is available to hypervisors and other applications via iSCSI

• Comes complete with all storage management features - no additional software needed

• Easily build a clustered, highly available converged storage pool on existing servers

• Utilize internal (SATA, MDL, SAS, SSD, PCIe Flash) and external (iSCSI, FC, SAS) storage options supported by VMware, Microsoft or Linux as back end storage

• Enable disaster recovery (DR) solutions for remote or branch offices that do not have budget, space, or power for servers and a traditional array

• Easily replicate volumes between StoreVirtual VSA and 3PAR with Peer Copy

• Reduce cost and complexity with integrated backup to HPE StoreOnce systems using HPE RMC software
