management software making it easy for users to achieve high levels of productivity.
The EVA-File Services is designed for mid-range and enterprise customers wanting a single storage
solution for their block and file data, improved storage utilization, scalable throughput performance to
meet application specific demands for consistent high transaction I/O, easy capacity expansion,
instantaneous replication, simplified storage administration and high availability. Because the EVA- File
Services can serve both block and file data concurrently with high availability and scalable performance,
customers can use the EVA- File Services to consolidate their individual silos of storage to gain flexibility,
reduce IT costs and complexity as compared to traditionally architected storage solutions.
The EVA- File Services supports both CIFS (windows) and NFS file serving. EVA- File Services is available
factory integrated into the HP EVA4100/6100/8100 arrays. The EVA- File Services is delivered as an
easy to install, easy to manage and easy to support solutions that helps customers lower their TCO and

that can scale as needs dictate, the EVA- File Services offers customer's aggregate performance
levels far in excess of traditional file servers and NAS appliances.
With the EVA- File Services you never "run out of space" because additional capacity can be added
quickly and easily with any combination of high performance Fibre Channel and/or low cost FATA
drives.
EVA File Services uses state-of-the-art virtualization which improves performance, disk usage and
TCO while the single, shared pool of storage allows for easy dynamic expansion, which
automatically distributes data to avoid potential hot spots.
With fully redundant components such as SAN switches, array controllers, and file serving nodes
built into every unit, the EVA- File Services is perfect for demanding mid-range and enterprise
storage applications.
