Features
•
Reduce costs and complexity - The EVA4000/6000/8000 combined with HP StorageWorks Command View EVA software offers simplicity, security and automation of any SAN and lowers TCO. The EVA provides online LUN growth, easy dynamic capacity expansion, instantaneous data replication and optimized performance.
•
Robust, affordable small SAN solution: The EVA4000 Starter Kit includes EVA hardware and software, 8-146GB 10k rpm FC disks, XCS firmware, and 4TBs Command View licensing; for easy installation, use and scale. The EVA 4000 SAN Starter Kit includes all of the above from the Starter Kit, plus 4/8 Base SAN Switch, 4 FC2142 4Gb PCI-e HBA, and the EZpilot software.
•
Adapts real time - controllers with 2Gb and 4Gb connectivity, double the cache mirroring ports (from early EVAs) for improved I/O performance. Outstanding virtualization ensures all the disks in the array are used efficiently; providing automated load leveling which eliminates stranded capacity, keeping drives busier, providing superior performance.
•
Online expansion, tiered storage and online XCS upgrades - Add physical disks online quickly to increase capacity without restrictions typically associated with capacity expansion on traditional arrays. Mix High Performance and FATA drives on the same enclosure for maximum efficiency and cost savings. Upgrade XCS online for the latest in features, functionality and availability enhancements.
•
Value - Investment protection: State-of-the-art virtualization improves performance, disk usage, and allows for easy dynamic expansion. Disks are added to groups and the EVA automatically distributes the data. The EVA also offers support for integrated iSCSI connectivity, IP Distance Gateway for Continuous Access EVA SAN over WAN and EVA File Services.
