Today HP announced that it is offering a 1TB HP StoreVirtual Storage Appliance (VSA) license for businesses that purchase an Intel Xeon processor E5 v3-based server. The servers that are included come from Dell, IBM, Lenovo, as well as HP's new ProLiant Generation 9 (Gen9) server models. The ProLiant Gen9 servers also now feature a single-click VSA deployment.
Virtualization continues to be the fasting growing trend in infrastructure, however adoption remains a challenge, especially for smaller sites with lower budgets and less space and storage expertise than larger enterprise-class sites. HP is helping customers simplify and cost optimize their virtualization by distributing licenses for more than 72PB of software-defined storage (SDS) capacity for free to any customer that purchases an Intel Xeon E5 v3-based server. Offering no-cost VSA software, HP and Intel are giving customers access to "hypervisor- agnostic, hardware-independent rich data services while preserving choice and lowering costs.” Intel Xeon E5 v3 processors deliver intelligent storage and meet compute and network needs across SDS centers.
Aside from allowing customers to easily adopt SDS by deploying resilient shared storage at a lower cost and a smaller footprint, the other benefits to HP StoreVirtual include:
As of August if this year, HP had provided over 1 million instances of their VSA software, likely making them the largest SDS provider in the market.
