HP offers a spectrum of offerings allowing customers to align their payments according to the usage of
storage capacity.
For customers requiring assistance in managing their storage infrastructure, Managed Storage
Solution (MSS) meets that need while providing the option to acquire storage on a utility model.
Customers have the ability to choose other options like Backup/Restore, Data Availability, Local
Copy and Remote Copy services. All these capabilities are offered at a $/GB/Month fee.
For customers that want to build and manage their own storage utility, Utility Ready Storage (URS)
provides customers with storage that never runs out; priced as the customer uses it; and is easy to
procure. URS pricing is based on $/GB/Month of average allocated capacity over the customer's
minimum commitment. URS provides a unique opportunity to allow customers access to storage
when they need it, permitting them to adapt to their changing business needs.
For customers whose need is best described by predictable growth, Pay per forecast (PPF), offered
from HP Financial Services, is an ideal fit. It is a step lease based solution where the payments are
structured upfront according to the customer's forecasted growth.
For even further demanding financial needs of customers, HP Financial Services are ready to craft
a customized solution for them.

10K rpm Drive Support The EVA supports 300/450/600 GB 10K rpm dual-ported 2/4 Gb/s FC disk. The EVA4100 will support
up to 56 disk drives. The EVA6100 will support up to 112 disk drives. An EVA8100 will support up to
240 disk drives. The EVA arrays will support single or mixed drive capacities and types (high performance
and FATA) within an enclosure. HP recommends using the same drive type (the same capacity) within a
disk group because virtualization allocates space proportionate to the highest capacity drive within the
group.

drives. The EVA arrays will support single or mixed drive capacities and types (high performance and

FATA Drive Support
FATA Drive SupportFATA Drive Support
FATA Drive Support The EVA supports 1TB dual ported 2 Gb/s Fibre Attached Technology Adapted (FATA) disk. An EVA will
support a full configuration of FATA disk drives up to the virtual device mapping limit. The
EVA4100/6100/8100 can be configured with any combination of FATA and high performance disk
drives; total raw capacity will vary based upon the redundancy (Vraid) selected. A minimum of eight
FATA drives are required in a configuration.
FATA drives are designed for lower duty cycle applications such as near on-line data replication for
back-up. These drives should not be used as a replacement for EVA's high performance, standard duty
cycle, Fibre Channel drives. Doing so could shorten the life of the drive.
NOTE:
NOTE:NOTE:
NOTE: XCS V6.2 supports the 1TB FATA. It has virtual device mapping (addressable capacity) limits of
120/120/300TB (EVA4000 & EVA4100/EVA6000 & EVA6100/EV8000 & EVA8100 respectively) .
Calculation of virtual device capacity includes all created virtual disks plus the mapped capacity of all
snapshot, snapclone and mirrorclones on the array. The potential to reach the limits vary with the usage
of the array. When installing a significant number of the 1TB FATA drives into an array contact your sales
or service representative to discuss your configuration requirements. Expansion of the virtual device
mapping limits will occur in Mid 2008.
