One Controller for multiple storage systems One control unit and GUI for unified storage management: • Controls multiple heterogeneous arrays • Manages multiple SAN fabrics with large port counts located on multiple sites • Allows continued storage growth managed by a single storage virtualization system, saving training and administration costs • Enables optimum use of tiered storage, allowing automated placement of critical data on premium, highly available storage, less critical data on low cost storage, and migration of data from legacy systems to newer systems • Simplifies management of virtual volumes, dynamically reallocating capacity and pooling heterogeneous volumes into a single reservoir to increase capacity utilization • Provides local and remote heterogeneous data replication for data distribution, data mining, backup and restore, and data validation testing Connectivity The system can be configured to provide the following types of host connections: • Fibre Channel: Open Systems; FC-AL or Fabric; 1, 2, or 4 Gbps, single or multimode; LC-Duplex Scalability The HP SVS200 scales to fit your current and future storage capacity needs. The system consists of one primary 19-inch equipment rack containing one or two factory-installed controller units. The controller can be equipped with the following hardware and software bundles based on the maximum storage to be managed: • 1 TB Bundle: Hardware to control up to 1 TB of storage, including controller and rack, CHIP pair, 4 GB cache, and 2 GB shared memory. Software to control up to 1 TB of storage, including HP SVS200 LUN Configuration and Security Manager, HP Command View XP Advanced Edition, HP SVS200 Tiered Storage Manager, HP Data Integrity Check, HP SVS200 External Storage, and HP Disk/Cache Partition. • 6 TB Bundle: Hardware to control up to 6 TB of storage, including controller and rack, CHIP pair, 12 GB cache, and 2 GB shared memory. Software to control up to 6 TB of storage, including HP SVS200 LUN Configuration and Security Manager, HP Command View XP Advanced Edition, HP SVS200 Tiered Storage 14 Overview

One Controller for multiple storage systems
One control unit and GUI for uni
fi
ed storage management:
•
Controls multiple heterogeneous arrays
•
Manages multiple SAN fabrics with large port counts located on multiple sites
•
Allows continued storage growth managed by a single storage virtualization
system, saving training and administration costs
•
Enables optimum use of tiered storage, allowing automated placement of critical
data on premium, highly available storage, less critical data on low cost storage,
and migration of data from legacy systems to newer systems
•
Simpli
fi
es management of virtual volumes, dynamically reallocating capacity
and pooling heterogeneous volumes into a single reservoir to increase capacity
utilization
•
Provides local and remote heterogeneous data replication for data distribution,
data mining, backup and restore, and data validation testing
Connectivity
The system can be con
fi
gured to provide the following types of host connections:
•
Fibre Channel:
Open Systems; FC-AL or Fabric; 1, 2, or 4 Gbps, single or
multimode; LC-Duplex
Scalability
The HP SVS200 scales to
fi
t your current and future storage capacity needs. The system
consists of one primary 19-inch equipment rack containing one or two factory-installed
controller units.
The controller can be equipped with the following hardware and software bundles
based on the maximum storage to be managed:
•
1 TB Bundle:
Hardware to control up to 1 TB of storage, including controller and
rack, CHIP pair, 4 GB cache, and 2 GB shared memory. Software to control
