The architecture behind optimal Hyper-V density• Fine grained virtualisation

Disks ‘chunklets’ mapped to virtual volumes for robust performance.

• System-wide stripingVM datastores striped across all system resources for maximum performance without large capacity purchases

• Mesh-active controller designAll controllers active on each datastore so the entire array is powering each VM

• Mixed workload optimizationSplit control and data paths with 4th gen ASIC so sequential I/O does not impact transactional I/O

HP Confidential

450,212 SPC-1 IOPS from a single array. Double VM density on
