Owner's manual

• EVA remote support tools
Ease of management
Easy-to-use st
orage management tools:
• Software tools that allow you to manage larger SAN configurations with more ser vers and m ore
storage solutions
• HP-supplied d
isk drives conform to the enclosure-initiated Enclosure Services Interface (ESI)
• State-of-the-art controller software
• Completely integrated configurations with a single part number, plus disk drives and storage
system software
Data availability
• Redundant h ardware design and value—added software eliminate single points of failure from
server to storage in clustered or sing le server con figurations with multiple pathing.
• Full suppor t for local and remote d ata replication using optional HP StorageWorks Business Copy
EVA and HP StorageWorks Continuous Access EVA applications.
• Dual– and multi–node cluster sup port provided for host–level fault tolerance and high system
availability.
Performance
Outstand
ing self-tuning performance includes:
• Virtualization technology—Vraid, enables data to be distributed from 8 to 240 disks to increase
disk spindle count far b eyond traditional R AID sets. This virtualization method also optimizes
storage for the best performance of a specificconfiguration and application. Enterprise Virtual
Array eliminates tedious ma nagement functions to provide the best performance possible.
• Both onl
ine high-performance disk drives and FATA (Fibre Attached Technology Adapted) disk
drives.
• State-of-the-art controller software that improves p er formance, increases capacity, and allows for
easy dy
namic storage expansion.
Scalability
The EVA8000 p rovides:
• Up to 200 TB of addressable disk data. With 300–GB drives, a single 42U rack has 50.4 TB of
capacity. Using an expansion rack, this can be increased to 72 TB of capacity.
• A maximum of 240 disk drives
• Support for 1024 virtual disks
The EVA6000 provides:
• Up to 70 TB of addressable disk d ata (33.6–TB rack c apacity using 300–GB drives) in a 42U rack.
• Amaximumof112diskdrives
• Support for 1024 virtual disks
The EVA4000 prov ides:
• Up to 70 TB of addressable d isk data (16.8–TB rack capacity using 300–GB drives) in a 42U
rack.
• A maximum of 56 disk drives
• Support for 1024 virtual disks
All m odels support the following disk capacities:
• 300-GB FC disk drives
