Overview of The HP StoreOnce Backup system
The HP StoreOnce VSA extends the StoreOnce portfolio with the agility and flexibility of StoreOnce
as a virtual appliance. Install into an existing vSphere (v5.x) environment without the need for
dedicated hardware. Once installed and powered on, StoreOnce VSA is used by backup and
recovery applications as a backup target in the same way as physical StoreOnce appliances.
StoreOnce VSA can be deployed using either SEM or via a vSphere client specific hardware. The
StoreOnce VSA is available to purchase by license, which includes HP StoreOnce Catalyst and
Replication support.
The StoreOnce VSA model, TC458A and D4T77A:

• Ports: 2 x 1GBE ports
• Storage expansion: Up to ten virtual disks of 1TB
• Interfaces supported: iSCSI only
