Why each option
The HP P4000 StoreVirtual series is the recommended product for small businesses in virtualized environments because its clustered iSCSI architecture scales dynamically to accommodate unpredictable workloads.
The HP P2000 is an entry-level direct-attached or iSCSI SAN designed for more predictable, static workloads and lacks the dynamic scaling capabilities needed for unpredictable virtualized environments.
The HP P4000 StoreVirtual uses a software-defined, clustered iSCSI SAN model where storage nodes can be added non-disruptively to meet changing demands - this scale-out flexibility is ideal for small businesses with virtualized workloads that vary over time, and the product integrates natively with VMware vSphere through the Virtual Storage Appliance and multi-site clustering capabilities.
The HP X3000 is a NAS product family oriented toward file-level access, which is not optimal for the block storage demands of a virtualized environment.
The HP P6000 (EVA) is an enterprise-class Fibre Channel SAN intended for large organizations with significant budgets, making it a poor fit for a small business.
