x86-based, scale-out
storage to lower costs
Storage Virtualization
Improve utilization and
simplify management
Capacity & Power Optimization
Lower the impact of
explosive data growth
Application integration
Speed deployment and
improve performance
7. Lowering the acquisition cost of storage
through industry standard economics
Platform Convergence
• Lower cost with x86 based storage
platforms
• Leverage HP’s economy of purchasing
scale and BladeSystem expertise
• Enable scale-out architectures to meet
demand
• Only HP can converge Server, Storage,
and Networking infrastructure
Platform Convergence removes the traditional “dedicated” storage
infrastructure, and moves the functions to industry standard storage
and server hardware coupled with software based data services.

8. Improving utilization and simplifying
management through virtualization
Virtualization
• Simplify storage management
• Create a single virtual pool of
capacity
• Virtualize arrays, storage networks,
and file serving
• Optimize storage for virtual
infrastructure
Virtualization technologies “abstract the physical” and make
heterogeneous and scale out systems less costly to manage. Includes
virtualization with hosts, storage systems, and storage networks.

9. Lowering the impact and cost of data
growth and power consumption
Capacity and Power Optimization
• Delay capacity purchases until
actually needed
• Tier storage to minimize cost and
meet SLAs
• Minimize power consumption and
cost
• Report and manage power w/
Insight Control
Maximizing available resources to lower CapEx and OpEx. Respond
to data growth and storage density acceleration by intelligently using
capacity and managing power consumption.

10. Lowering the impact and cost of data
growth and power consumption
Application integration
• Joint server-storage reference
architectures
• Application-specific storage
management and performance
tuning
• Integrated server, storage,
networking provisioning with HP
Orchestration
Application specific management and tuning, solution blocks and
deployment expertise. Move towards template driven management
(i.e. BladeSystem Matrix with Insight Orchestration) for traditional IT
and cloud.

15. Enterprise Virtual Array – initiation
1. EVA automatically creates one disk group – best practice is one
or two disk groups per EVA
2. Customer selects the capacity required of Vraid1 or Vraid5
data storage and disk sparing level
3. EVA lays out the data – all Vraid5 and Vraid1 data and spare
space is sprinkled across all the drives in the group – EVA
format disks on the fly.
