Solution brief Accelerate workloads exponentially HP StoreVirtual 4335 Hybrid Storage Intelligent, sub-volume auto-tiering with Adaptive Optimization Ideal for unpredictable applications Accelerate workloads affordably Balance cost and performance Workloads in virtualized server environments can be unpredictable and change over time. A hybrid storage approach with automatic, sub-volume tiering allows you to efficiently and cost-effectively address these performance challenges by placing only your most frequently accessed data on your fastest storage. This makes the HP StoreVirtual 4335 with Adaptive Optimization ideal for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) deploying server virtualization. With the addition of the new 2-node HP StoreVirtual 4335 Hybrid SAN Solution bundle, it is easier than ever to accelerate your storage environment with HP StoreVirtual 4335 Hybrid Storage. HP StoreVirtual 4335 Storage gives you hybrid storage, purpose-built to deliver innovative sub-volume auto-tiering for simple and affordable workload acceleration. Built on the latest, most advanced hardware from HP and powered by the proven HP LeftHand OS, the HP StoreVirtual 4335 combines both rotational and solid-state drive (SSD) capacity to accelerate workloads exponentially.1 Adaptive Optimization provides intelligent, automatic, and transparent performance optimization by monitoring data access patterns at a highly granular level based on a page size of 256 KB. With the use of Adaptive Optimization, the HP StoreVirtual 4335 identifies the most frequently accessed or “hot” data on the system. Adaptive Optimization automatically moves this data onto higher-performing, Tier-0 storage comprised of SSD capacity. The system maintains a data “heat map” to continually track and update data access frequency and accelerate “hot” pages dynamically for the most efficient use of SSD capacity. The flexibility you need HP StoreVirtual Storage is the only software-defined storage platform that allows you to deploy a single storage technology in a variety of forms—dedicated hardware appliances (HP StoreVirtual 4000), Hyper-Converged platforms (CS 200-HC StoreVirtual), or software only solutions (HP StoreVirtual VSA). This flexibility lets you simplify management and maintain consistency as you scale from one model to another, define multiple storage tiers, and mix or match different deployment options to meet your evolving business needs. • HP LeftHand OS 12.0 with Adaptive Optimization Based on random read, write, and OLTP performance of StoreVirtual Tier 0 (SSD) + Tier 1 (HDD) performance with Adaptive Optimization vs. the use of HDD capacity alone. For test result specifics, see h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/GetPDF. aspx/4AA4-9000ENW.pdf. Each HP StoreVirtual 4335 Hybrid Storage System includes: • Intel® Xeon ® Processor E5-2640 v2 • (3) 400 GB SSDs • (7) 900 GB small form-factor 10K SAS drives This configuration includes a combination of 10K SAS drives and SSDs, and uses StoreVirtual’s innovative Adaptive Optimization technology to automate dynamic movement of frequently accessed data onto SSDs while placing less frequently accessed data on more economical hard disk drive (HDD) capacity.
