Expanding the power of having multiple HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) units, the HP StorageWorks 12000 Virtual Library System EVA Gateway accelerates backup performance in these complex SAN environments while improving overall reliability. Integrating seamlessly into existing backup applications and processes by emulating popular tape libraries and tape drives, the HP VLS12000 EVA Gateway matches the existing data protection environment, removing the need to change backup software or monitoring policies. Additionally, because the VLS12000 EVA Gateway uses the HP EVAs units as the storage pool, allowing ease of use to be maintained throughout the system. By emulating multiple tape drives simultaneously, more backup jobs can be done in parallel resulting in reduced backup times and, because the data resides on disk, single file restores are exceptionally fast.
Funzioni
Non-disruptive integration into the current backup and recovery processes: By emulating HP StorageWorks ESL E-Series and HP StorageWorks MSL Tape Libraries as well as HP StorageWorks 1/8 Autoloaders, the VLS12000 EVA Gateway integrates seamlessly into existing backup and recovery processes and applications.
Reduced TCO: Easy management of the VLS12000 EVA Gateway combined with the EVA results in minimal additional training. Additionally improved recovery performance improves time to resolution for help desks
High availability features enable backup consolidation: Multiple paths to the disk arrays, redundant power supplies and fans complement the high availability functions of the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array to create a highly reliable virtual library.
Improved storage efficiency: The HP StorageWorks 12000 Virtual Library System EVA Gateway includes standard hardware compression (compression without degradation) allowing the effective capacity to double.
Respond to change quickly: Intuitive GUI enables resources to be provisioned in under 5 minutes
