The beauty of the HP P4000 LeftHand family is that it’s a scale-out architecture, meaning that as the environment grows, customers can add new nodes to their system. Customers can mix SSD, SAS, and midline-SAS in the same management group. If they want to run their P4000 LeftHand as an all-SSD or spinning rust system, they can do that too. As they add nodes both their performance and capacity scale (as opposed to two controller RAID solutions that will at some point throttle the controllers’ performance as more disk drives are added to the system).

And if it isn’t obvious from my Twitter ID, I work for HP Storage and wrote the blog post introducing the P4900 (https://bit.ly/zrn0gL).
