HP P4000 SAN Solutions empower you to make the most of your server virtualisation. By combining a clustered storage architecture with powerful SAN software management, you gain a more efficient, flexible and scalable infrastructure-the very reason you adopted server virtualisation in the first place.

The benefits include:

• Efficiency
  Increase the utilisation of your storage assets and spread your capital outlay.
  
  The combination of thin provisioning, SmartClone and storage clustering dramatically improves overall storage efficiency.
• Application availability
  Gain continuous data availability in the event of failures or major disruption-the ideal match for virtualised servers.
  
  High availability is achieved with Network RAID, a synchronous replication technique that is completely transparent to application servers.
  
  Failover and failback are automatic and transparent. Applications have continuous data availability in the event of a power, network, disk, controller, or entire storage node failure.
• Fully scalable
  Grow non-disruptively in capacity and performance whenever your company needs.
  
  Purchase only what's needed today, then grow the performance, capacity, and redundancy of your HP P4000 SAN online as storage requirements evolve. Buying storage only when needed simplifies planning and relieves budget pressures.
• Simple management
  Benefit from storage management that is as dynamic as your virtual environment.
  
  With standard LAN technology, a standard storage node, and a simple intuitive interface, this is a system every server administrator can use and understand.
• End-to-end solutions
  From storage to servers, HP Networking to services, the HP Total Care promise means you'll receive a complete solution, with every component engineered to work seamlessly together and meet your exact demands.
