The EVA8100 is designed to address moderate to large capacity needs ranging (from 2 - 18 drive
enclosures, 1 - 240TB) as well as high performance options in commercial environments.
The EVA4100/6100 and EVA8100 are also available as a Controller Pair Assembly, individual M5314C
Drive Enclosures, and Optional FC Dual Loop Switches to accommodate adding EVA4100/6100
subsystems to existing EVA configurations, other supported HP field racking choices and to support
qualifying customer-supplied racks. The 5642 (42U) Rack Cabinet System is supported for field
installation.

Addition of FC Loop Switches to an EVA4100 (1 to 4 M5314C FC Drive Enclosures) creates an
EVA6100 and requires purchase or upgrade of Command View, Business Copy and Continuous Access
EVA licenses.

Expanding the power of the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA), the HP StorageWorks
12000 Virtual Library System EVA Gateway accelerates backup performance in complex SAN
environments while improving overall reliability. Integrating seamlessly into existing backup applications
and processes by emulating popular tape libraries and tape drives, the HP VLS 12000 EVA Gateway
matches the existing data protection environment, removing the need to change backup software or
monitoring policies. Additionally, because the VLS EVA Gateway uses HP EVAs as the storage pool, ease
of use is maintained throughout the system. By emulating multiple tape drives simultaneously, more
backup jobs can be done in parallel resulting in reduced backup times and, because the data resides on
disk, single file restores are exceptionally fast.
The HP Virtual Library System EVA Gateway simplifies your SAN environment by providing more virtual
devices and leveraging existing switches and HP EVA infrastructure. The result is the ability to vastly
increase scale yet reduce the complexity of shared storage while maintaining the manageability of the
system. As your environment changes, the HP Virtual Library System EVA Gateway adapts to it - host
masking and mapping ensure that only the appropriate hosts have access to the HP Virtual Library
System.
