Data availability • Redundant hardware design and value-added software eliminate single points of failure from server to storage in clustered or single server configurations with multipathing. • Full support for local and remote data replication using optional HP Business Copy EVA and HP Continuous Access EVA applications. More information on these products is available at the following websites: ◦ HP Business Copy EVA http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storage/software/bizcopyeva/index.html ◦ HP Continuous Access EVA http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storage/software/conaccesseva/index.html • Dual- and multi-node cluster support provided for host-level fault tolerance and high system availability. • Support for active-active failover, allowing the use of industry popular multipathing solutions and native host bus adapters. Performance Outstanding self-tuning performance includes: • 4 Gb transfer capability from the HSV controllers to the SAN. Support for 4 Gb host bus adapters and switches. • Virtualization technology - Vraid enables data to be distributed from 8 to 240 disks to increase disk spindle count far beyond traditional RAID sets. This virtualization method also optimizes storage for the best performance of a specific configuration and application. Enterprise Virtual Array eliminates tedious management functions to provide the best performance possible. • Both online high-performance disk drives and FATA (Fibre Attached Technology Adapted) disk drives. • State-of-the-art controller software that improves performance, increases capacity, and allows for easy dynamic storage expansion. Scalability The EVA8000/8100 provides: • Maximum capacity of 120 TB (using 500 GB drives) • A maximum of 240 disk drives • Support for 1024 virtual disks The EVA6000/6100 provides: • Maximum capacity of 56 TB (using 500 GB drives) • A maximum of 112 disk drives • Support for 1024 virtual disks The EVA4000/4100 provides: • Maximum capacity of 28 TB (using 500 GB drives) • A maximum of 56 disk drives • Support for 1024 virtual disks Features 13
