Ok go ape on this one, I'm at the HP World Tour in Sydney and in an 'exciting' data presentation the presenter gave us a 'world exclusive' free code for 1 TB of free StoreVirtual VSA software.

NB: You have to enter a serial number but we were told it can be any 10 digit number so be creative !

You can thank me later.

  Register here for 1TB of HP StoreVirtual VSA storage, included at no cost with your HP ProLiant server.
  Don't think they will honour just anyone using this.

  "Optimized for VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V environments, StoreVirtual VSA creates a virtual array within your application server and scales as storage needs evolve. Scale-out architecture and high-availability features let you add capacity on the fly without compromising performance."

  What's the point of this?

    they have an application for windows and linux

    HP StoreVirtual Centralized Management Console for Windows
    HP StoreVirtual Centralized Management Console for Linux (BM480-10564.bin)

    might give it a go to see what the hell it does :D

      Management Console ≠ StoreVirtual VSA

      You want these two instead.

      HP StoreVirtual VSA 2014 Installer for Microsoft Hyper-V (TA688-10524.exe)
      HP StoreVirtual VSA 2014 Installer for VMware vSphere (TA688-10525.exe)

      StoreVirtual VSA allows you to create fully featured shared storage on a VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V virtualized server.

  You need to enter a Proliant Server serial number so I think this is only applicable to some.

    i put in a random 10 digit code and it worked.

    If you read the description you'll notice he mentioned you can enter anything for it.

  Only for 3 years?

  Cdmonk on 28/08/2014 - 15:37

  Does it say what Proliant Server. If not my HP Proliant Microserver's serial number should be OK :P

  Link doesn't work.

    cookie_lu on 28/08/2014 - 15:47

    Any 10 digit serial number will do.
    It did work for me.

  Hahah you guys crack me up! FYI: this isn't cloud storage, hosting, or anything else like that..

  It's software designed to run on server hardware to turn it into a Virtual Storage Appliance (VSA). If you've already got something that this could be useful for, then it's pretty handy!

    dazweeja on 28/08/2014 - 17:05

    So if I understand this correctly, HP are giving away a version of StoreVirtual VSA Software for free - to run on your own server - that's limited to 1TB?

    • 

      ryang on 28/08/2014 - 17:08

      Yep.. Welcome to the wonderful world of enterprise software!! Pay thousands for the hardware, only to be screwed over twice again!
