Enterprise Class Hardware
Proprietary storage hardware platforms are expensive and inflexible. Leveraging the cost and stability of an x86 architecture, HP LeftHand P4000 SANs provide enterprise class hardware features at an affordable price.

Enterprise Class Support
Each SAN includes three years of Basic hardware and software support (5x9xnext business day). Additional offerings are available to meet any need across the enterprise.

Superior Data Availability
As disk drive capacity increases so does the chance of a double drive failure. Most storage vendors address the issue with dual parity RAID but that comes with a serious performance impact. The HP LeftHand P4000 SANs have two levels of built in RAID protection to help avoid that performance-reliability trade off. In addition, data is protected against double disk, system, rack, and even site failures.

Scalable Performance
IT environments are constantly changing. As more applications are added to your SAN, more performance is needed. HP LeftHand P4000 SANs aggregate all hardware resources to deliver unprecedented scalable performance without application downtime.

Simplified Scalability and Management
Adding SAN storage capacity, provisioning, and migrating volumes between different tiers of data is time consuming, complicated, and results in application downtime. A single, centralized management GUI provides these capabilities plus the ability to add to the SAN with zero downtime.
