The HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array is the newest generation of StorageWorks Disk Array family and is the first 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.Enterprise complements and extends the current ma8000/ema12000/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 in 2 Gb Open Fiber Channel SAN networks.Enterprise 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 per second data rate performance, seamless capacity expansion, instantaneous replication, and simplified storage administration.The Technical Computing Enterprise 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.The pre-defined 8C8D configuration is available in a 42U opal cabinet or 41U graphite cabinet that is optimized for high performance technical computing environments. The solution includes support for the most popular multi-vendor operating system platforms and stringent data center availability enhancements such as multi-pathing and clustering. Configure-to-Order will be available at a future date for the creation of flexible custom solutions using the Enterprise modular storage assemblies. Other General Purpose product configurations are covered in a separate Enterprise QuickSpec document.For technical computing centers with continuously increasing capacity/replication requirements, Top Gun performance demands, and ever-increasing operations 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.
