HP StorageWorks P4500 21.6TB SAS Multi-site SAN Solutions deliver enterprise functionality that enhances virtual environments, simplifies management, and reduces costs. Easy to deploy, scale and maintain, the HP P4500 SANs ensure that crucial business data remains available. Its innovative approach to storage provides unique double fault protection across the entire SAN, reducing vulnerability without driving up costs the way traditional SANs did.
The HP P4500 SAN Solutions are optimized for database and e-mail applications, as well as virtualized servers. For high availability and disaster recovery, the HP P4500 SAN eliminates single points of failure across the SAN with an innovative approach to data availability. Built on a storage clustering architecture, the HP P4500 SAN allows you to scale capacity and performance linearly without incurring downtime or performance bottlenecks, or forcing expensive upgrades.
The following paper describes the testing methodology, test execution, test tools used, hardware/software configuration details, test results and recommendations. It provides detailed information on how HP hardware was configured for the testing, how Microsoft Hyper-V R2 and the virtual machines were configured, and how the testing tool was configured to test the performance capabilities of Hyper-V R2 VMs with the HP P4500 SAN in various test scenarios.
