HP STORAGE SOLUTIONS

XP Storage -The HP StorageWorks XP12000 Disk Array delivers state-of-the-art reliability and always-on availability for enterprise mission-critical applications where downtime is not an option. No single-point-of-failure and non-disruptive online upgrades ensure that data is always available.

Industry-leading random and sequential performance is ideal for database, OLTP, Oracle, SAP, and Exchange workloads. Advanced virtualization technology provides external storage device support to enable tiered storage up to 30 Petabytes. Flexible secure array partitioning eases provisioning. Array-to-array local and remote data copying enables multi-site disaster tolerance. World-class service and support meets your most demanding needs.

EVA Storage - HP StorageWorks Continuous Access EVA is an array based application that utilizes a powerfully simple Graphical User Interface to create, manage and configure remote replication on the new EVA4000, EVA6000, EVA8000 and the current EVA3000 and EVA5000 storage arrays.

Continuous Access EVA shares an integrated management interface, called Replication Solutions Manager (RSM), with HP StorageWorks Business Copy offering a unique, unified replication management approach. RSM manages all local and remote replication features across the full EVA array storage family. With the combination of Continuous Access's unique remote replication technologies and the unparalleled easy to use RSM interface, enterprises can ensure their information is protected in the event of a disaster. Furthermore, Continuous Access EVA provides the necessary components to solve enterprise's disaster recovery objectives in a very cost effective and easily deployable package. Continuous Access EVA improves replication, it also results in the ability to make remote replication 1) Less expensive through faster, automated methods that virtually eliminate complexity while resulting in fewer user errors. 2) Easy to deploy for accelerated payback and 3) Less labor intensive allowing a much greater use of valuable IT people resources.

Continuous Access EVA provides customers with the highest level of storage data protection capabilities to meet their mission critical disaster recovery requirements. They can achieve a competitive advantage by combining disaster-tolerant solutions and disaster-tolerant managed services into their planning and daily routines, ensuring data security, availability and integrity.

MSA Storage - The HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 1000 (MSA1000) is a 2 Gb Fibre Channel storage system for the entry-level to midrange storage area network (SAN). It is designed to reduce the complexity and risk of SAN deployments. The powerful but easy to use management software makes it ideal for departmental and remote location SANs. With the addition of two more drive enclosures and the new 300GB drives, it can control up to 42 drives allowing capacity of twelve terabytes. All configuration, management and partitioning and licensing software come standard with no extra charges.

HP's exclusive optional embedded 8-port SAN switches or 3-port hubs give cost effective and space saving methods of creating a SAN environment. The MSA1000 supports Windows (32 & 64-bit), NetWare, and Linux (32 & 64-bit) operating systems. It also supports Tru64 UNIX, OpenVMS, or HP-UX operating systems.

High Availability Storage Solutions (HASS)

The HP 9000 Model 12H is the worry-free choice for dependable RAID protected storage. Features include:

• Hot-pluggable components for ease of maintenance
• Redundant controllers for maximum reliability
• Supports up to 12 disk modules
• Uses 18GB and 36GB disk modules
• HP’s AutoRAID automatically chooses the most efficient protection for your data – using mirroring (RAID 1/0) for your most frequently accessed data, while using the more efficient RAID 5 for infrequently accessed data

FC60 Storage System
For the fastest and most flexible storage solutions, the HP 9000 FC60 works in conjunction with the SC10 and provides:

• Hot pluggable components for ease of maintenance
• Dual controllers available, each with 256MB of memory
• Dual fibre channel interfaces connect the FC60 to your system at speeds of up to 100MB/s
• Six Ultra2 SCSI cables connect the FC60 to six SC10 storage enclosures
