Why each option
HP StoreVirtual 4000 is HP's entry-level software-defined shared storage platform built on commodity x86 hardware, making it the lowest-cost option in the HP shared storage portfolio.
HP StoreVirtual 4000 (formerly LeftHand) uses HP's LeftHand OS running on commodity hardware to deliver iSCSI shared storage without proprietary controller costs. Its software-defined architecture and x86 commodity foundation give it the lowest acquisition cost of any HP shared storage solution, making it purpose-built for budget-conscious environments that still need shared SAN features.
HP StoreOnce is a purpose-built backup and data deduplication appliance, not a primary shared block storage solution, and targets a completely different use case.
HP EVA 6000 is a legacy mid-range enterprise Fibre Channel SAN array built on proprietary hardware and controllers, placing it at a significantly higher cost than StoreVirtual.
HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 is a high-end enterprise array designed for tier-1 workloads with advanced features like ASIC-based controllers, commanding a premium price well above StoreVirtual.
