The total package—solution value statements
• Gain the benefits of a SAN without requiring a physical SAN infrastructure as StoreVirtual VSA
turns hypervisor attached storage into a virtual iSCSl storage.
• Take advantage of advanced hypervisor features such as VMware vMotion and Microsoft Live
Migration, which require shared storage.
• Enables a disaster recovery solution for remote or branch offices that do not have budget, space,
or power for a traditional SAN.
