When you click on the 30-day free trial button, you will proceed to a webpage where you can download the software.
You will see two download choices in the Software specification box:
Select Virtual_SAN_Appliance_Trial.zip if you want to
install the actual VSA product bits onto an existing ESX/ESXi server.
Select HP_LeftHand_Laptop_Demo.zip if you
want a fully functional demo environment. This is the best choice if you do not have an existing ESX/ESXi server available for your evaluation.
Either download is about 380 MB which can take 20-30 minutes to download with typical connections.
If you experience any difficulties, please contact our support team at vsa.inquiries@hp.com.

2 Source: Based on a comparison between the HP P4000 and best practice implementations of EMC CLARiiON and NetApp FAS analyzing the impact of recommended hardware configurations in a multi-site configuration. Unlike the competition the P4000 does not require a 2nd complete system for multi-site high availability, nor does it require incremental synchronous replication software. Instead, a single system is split across two sites and leverages integrated software capabilities.
