"Workloads in virtual server environments can be unpredictable and are heavily dependent on the underlying storage for performance. This creates challenges in meeting service levels-particularly for companies looking to virtualize more of their applications, implementing desktop virtualization, or simply experiencing rapid virtualized application growth," said Barun Lala, director, Storage, HP India.

HP StoreVirtual 4335 Storage is a hybrid storage system which offers a unique Adaptive Optimization feature that automates the intelligent movement of frequently accessed data from hard disk drives (HDDs) to high-performance solid state drives (SSDs). This auto-tiering capability accelerates application performance compared to HDDs, and delivers 59 percent lower cost than using SSDs alone.

As a result, SMB customers spend less on storage while supporting more virtual machines.

Solid state and flash media allow customers to achieve performance levels that eliminate the roadblocks to virtualization performance. However, affordability has traditionally limited SMB adoption of SSD technology.

HP StoreVirtual 4335 Hybrid Storage is a purpose-built system designed to accelerate workloads affordably.
