The HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array 5000 (EVA5000) is the newest generation of HP StorageWorks Disk Array family that is enabled by VersaStor technology. It is an ultra-high performance, ultra-high capacity and ultra-high availability "virtual" RAID (Vraid) storage solution for the upper-end of the enterprise marketplace that removes the time, space and cost boundaries of traditionally architected storage. With the latest EVA5000 software, HP StorageWorks Virtual Controller Software (VCS) v3.0b for HSV110 the EVA5000 Virtual Array Controller functionality has been enhanced with leading edge storage replication capability, HP StorageWorks Continuous Access EVA (CA EVA). The EVA 5000 continues to provide state of the art virtualized snapshot capability via HP StorageWorks Business Copy EVA.EVA complements and extends the current Modular Array (MA8000) and Enterprise Modular Array (EMA12000 and EMA16000) HP StorageWorks solutions and can co-exist in the same 1 Gb Open Fiber Channel SAN networks, while providing 2 Gb end-to-end Fiber Channel technology in 2 Gb Open Fiber Channel SAN networks.EVA is designed for the data center where there is a critical need for improved storage utilization and scalability while meeting application specific demands for consistently high transaction I/O and MB data rate performance, seamless capacity expansion, instantaneous replication, and simplified storage administration. The general-purpose EVA5000 product is available with two pre-defined configurations with controllers and two expansion configurations without controllers in 42U graphite cabinets that are optimized for commercial environments. The solutions include support for the most popular multi-vendor operating system platforms and stringent data center availability enhancements such as multi-pathing and clustering. For data centers having continuously increasing capacity/replication requirements, Top Gun performance demands, and ever-increasing business continuance needs, the Enterprise Virtual Array is the clear choice for creating impressive value opportunities within a customer's enterprise in the areas of space, time and cost savings. The technical computing EVA5000 product is specifically designed to deliver maximum, high-bandwidth, performance for low latency read/write operations typically demanded by High Performance Technical Computing and other compute intensive application environments.
