HP TC502A StoreVirtual VSA 2014 50TB 300pk 3yr LTU

Product Description

The HP TC502A represents a comprehensive licensing package for the HP StoreVirtual VSA (Virtual Storage Appliance) software, specifically version 2014. This license grants the right to use the VSA software to manage up to 50TB of storage capacity, designed to support a maximum of 300 virtual machines. The 'LTU' designation indicates a perpetual license, meaning the right to use the software does not expire. This offering is particularly suited for virtualized environments where software-defined storage solutions are preferred for their flexibility and cost-effectiveness. This particular SKU includes a 3-year support contract, ensuring that the customer receives technical assistance, software updates, and patches from HP for the duration of the contract. This is crucial for maintaining the stability and security of the virtual storage infrastructure. The StoreVirtual VSA software transforms standard x86 servers into high-performance, highly available storage systems, pooling local storage resources into a shared virtual SAN that can be accessed by VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V environments. By deploying StoreVirtual VSA with the TC502A license, organizations can achieve enterprise-grade storage features such as thin provisioning, snapshots, replication, and high availability, all delivered through software. This eliminates the need for dedicated, expensive SAN hardware, making it an attractive solution for small to medium-sized businesses or for departmental storage needs within larger enterprises. The 50TB capacity and 300 VM entitlement provide a substantial foundation for virtualized workloads.
