HP StorageWorks Business Copy EVA

HP Business Copy EVA is the local replication component of the Enterprise Virtual Array controller

software. With HP Business Copy EVA licenses and a supporting user interface, you can create

point-in-time copies of virtual disks and use them to back up and restore application data.

HP Business Copy EVA features enable you to:

• Create point-in-time copies, called snapshots, snapclones, and mirrorclones, of virtual disks

• Specify snapshot, snapclone, and mirrorclone properties, such as redundancy (Vraid) level, read

cache, and write protection

• Present snapshots, snapclones, and mirrorclones as disks to hosts

• Allow immediate host I/O to snapshots and snapclones

• Instantly restore the content of a virtual disk using a snapshot, snapclone, or mirrorclone

HP StorageWorks Continuous Access EVA

HP Continuous Access EVA is the remote replication component of the Enterprise Virtual Array controller

software. When this component is licensed and conﬁgured, the controller copies data online, in real

time, to a remote array over a storage area network. Properly conﬁgured, HP Continuous Access EVA is

a disaster-tolerant storage solution that ensure data integrity if an array or site fails.

HP Continuous Access EVA features include:

• Continuous replication of local virtual disks on remote virtual disks

• Synchronous and asynchronous write modes

• Automated failover when used with other replication software

• Failsafe data protection

• Ability to suspend and resume replication

• Bidirectional replication

• Automatic suspension of replication if a link between arrays is down.

HP StorageWorks Cluster Extension EVA

HP StorageWorks Cluster Extension EVA enables monitoring of HP Continuous Access EVA Data

Replication (DR) groups and allows access to the remote data copy if an application becomes

unavailable on the local site. If the application service is restarted on the remote site, after the local

(primary) application service has been shut down, HP Cluster Extension EVA uses its internal database to

check whether the current disk states allow automatic access to your data, based on consistency and

concurrency considerations.

Features include:

• Integration into cluster software

• Disaster tolerance through geographical dispersion

• Automated redirection and monitoring of HP Continuous Access EVA DR groups
