HP LeftHand P4000 SAN Solutions Family Data sheet

White Paper Published By: Riverbed

Your storage needs are growing. You need a SAN (storage area network) for virtualized servers, and you want your next investment to have a long term payoff. The HP LeftHand P4000 SAN Solutions are enhanced for database and e-mail applications, as well as virtualized servers. With a pay-as-you-grow, all-inclusive pricing model, and intuitive storage management software, the HP LeftHand P4000 SANs are ideal for the budget-minded. Do high availability and disaster recovery seem out of your reach? The HP P4000 removes single points of failure across the SAN with an innovative approach to data availability, reducing risk without driving up costs. Unsure that current storage can meet your future needs? Built on a storage clustering architecture, the HP P4000 SAN allows you to scale capacity and performance linearly without incurring downtime or performance bottlenecks, or forcing expensive upgrades. Need creative ways to stretch your IT budget? Reservationless thin provisioning substantially increases your storage efficiency.
