“We look at three things when selecting data warehouse disks. Price per terabyte, throughput capabilities, and availability features. With the HP Virtual Array 7100, the price per terabyte was extremely competitive and the throughput was phenomenal. Our current Superdome VA7100 configuration is capable of driving three to four gigabytes of I/O per second, and the autoraid features of the VA7100 exceed our availability requirements.”

“In consolidating from eight controllers to the HP Surestore VA7100 we expected to see some performance degradation in running our Children, Youth, and Family Department databases. We haven't seen any degradation and are pleased with the performance. We've found it very easy to allocate space with the VA7100 and have saved time with reduced administrative overhead. With the AutoRAID feature, we've eliminated worrying about mirroring. We let AutoRAID go to work and don't even have to think about it.”

“After reviewing various competitive scenarios for our SAP environment, we selected HP as our single vendor with rp5450 servers and a VA7100 for our SAN. We found the set-up to be fast and easy, and the performance excellent. It was an easy decision to add a second virtual array, a VA7400, to accommodate our growth and position us for the future.”
