Says it combines built-in disaster recovery with next-generation servers and hybrid cloud orchestration for half the cost of competitors
HP has launched new ConvergedSystem 250-HC StoreVirtual (CS 250), an enterprise-grade solution designed for virtual desktops and remote office productivity and says also offers an easy path to hybrid cloud.
This hyper-converged appliance offers a highly available virtual server and storage infrastructure that is configurable in minutes for nearly half the price of competitive systems announced the press release.
Building on HP’s market leading x86 server and virtualization solutions combined with its proven HP StoreVirtual software-defined storage (SDS) technology, the new CS 250 is business continuity-enabled from day one. The CS 250 features enhanced VMware integration, supports hybrid-cloud solution architectures and is accompanied by new delivery services and channel programs.
“There is no one-size-fits-all solution for infrastructure,” said Barun Lala, Director, Storage, HP India. “This is why HP continues to offer flexible and interoperable solutions based on HP StoreVirtual technology to help our customers lower costs independent of the hypervisors and hardware platforms they choose. Hyper-convergence is simply the next step in HP’s evolution of the software-defined data center.”
Built on the latest HP, Intel, and VMware technologies, the CS 250 is powered by StoreVirtual technology and offers turnkey simplicity in a fully integrated and tested hyper-converged solution.
The inclusion of three 4TB StoreVirtual Virtual Storage Appliance (VSA) licenses delivers multi-site business continuity by leveraging the system’s ability to flexibly replicate data to any other HP StoreVirtual-based solution. This means that customers can leverage their existing infrastructure as a replication target at no additional cost. The new CS 250 also allows customers to tailor the system with a choice of up to 96 processing cores, a mix of SSD and SAS disk drives, and up to 2TB of memory per 4-node appliance—double that of previous generations.(4)
