Storage for Virtualized Environments
Organizations of all sizes turn to virtualization to reduce costs and increase the efficiency, availability and flexibility of their IT organizations. Those same virtualization solutions can also help transition data centers to private cloud infrastructures that provide IT services on demand.
Storage can be an accelerator to achieving the benefits of a virtualized server, client or cloud environment. You need storage optimized for virtualized environments that delivers the availability, efficiency, manageability, and performance required.
- Performance to increase virtual machine consolidation ratios and meet virtual desktop user experience expectations
- Efficiency to handle the storage growth that comes with virtual environments and to maximize resource utilization
- Availability that enhances the high availability capabilities of the virtualization platforms to eliminate planned and unplanned downtime and ensure rapid recovery from disasters
- Simplified Management to simplify the convergence of the physical and virtual across storage, servers, and networking to deliver the flexibility and agility of virtualization

Data Deduplication
Data Deduplication, available with HP StoreOnce Backup Systems and HP Virtual Library Systems, helps you manage the effects of explosive data growth by providing improved
data protection and reduced backup and recovery windows. It eliminates redundant data by saving a single copy of identical data and replacing any further instances with pointers back to that one copy saving you both time and money. The new HP B6200 StoreOnce Backup System simplifies backup and improves manageability.
Learn how
HP's StoreOnce deduplication technology is reinventing deduplication, and how it is a key enabler in data protection for remote offices.
