The HP StorageWorks 6000 Enterprise Virtual Array is one of three next generation storage array products. Designed specifically for customers in the mid-range marketplace, by offering a high performance, high availability "virtual" array storage solution. Not only does this solution save time, space and costs compared to traditionally architected storage, it is supported by a powerfully simple suite of management software making it easy for users to achieve the highest level of productivity. The EVA6000 is designed for the data center where there is a critical need for improved storage utilisation and scalability. The EVA6000 meets application specific demands for transaction I/O performance for the mid-range customers. It provides easy capacity expansion, instantaneous replication, and simplified storage administration. The EVA6000 combined with HP StorageWorks Command View EVA software provides a comprehensive solution designed to simplify management and maximise performance.
Egenskaper
Simplicity without compromise: The EVA6000 and HP StorageWorks Command View EVA software offerings simplify and automates any SAN and lowers TCO. The EVA provides online LUN growth, easy dynamic capacity expansion, instantaneous data replication and automatically optimizes performance. The EVA family is an excellent choice for stress-free IT consolidation
Agility: High throughput using new controllers with 2 Gb and 4 Gb connectivity, double the cache mirroring ports (from early generations) for improved I/O performance. Outstanding virtualization ensures all the disks in the array are used more efficiently, keeping them all busier and eliminating bottlenecks that lower performance
Agility: 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
State-of-the-art design improves performance, disk usage, and allows for easy dynamic storage expansion. When new disks are added to groups the controller automatically distributes the data and removes potential hot spots. A powerful solution which provides integrated iSCSI connectivity with the features of an EVA without the need to install extensive Fibre Channel infrastructure
Virtually instantaneous Snapclone and capacity-free Snapshot (Vsnap): Allows immediate use of the clone copy, saving significant time. And provides a very efficient low cost option data replication option. Saves disk space and improves disk efficiency and utilization
