The HPE StoreVirtual VSA Software (VSA) is a Virtual Storage Appliance that provides complete array functionality for VMware Infrastructure or Microsoft Hyper-V without external array hardware. By virtualizing the internal disk capacity of the server running VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V, the VSA eliminates the need for external shared storage required to implement advanced hypervisor features.
Multiple VSA's running on multiple hypervisors creates a clustered pool of storage with the ability to replicate data across the hosts allowing volumes to stay online in the event of a server failure.
Small to medium businesses, remote office customers, and independent public cloud providers can lower their IT infrastructure costs and enable higher levels of protection for business critical systems without the purchase of additional hardware.
VSA deployed at remote sites are managed as virtual storage systems using the same Centralized Management Console used to manage your HPE LeftHand physical storage.
