Removes the mystery of presenting storage for use:

With HP Command View EVA Software and drivers

installed, SmartStart for EVA Storage will walk you

through the initialization process, creating LUNs,

provisioning the storage, and then presenting it to

the server application. Your storage is now fully

ready for use.

•

Simple and quick set up and configuration:

takes just seconds to configure, or change policies

across multiple volumes. Once they are set, capacity

provisioning and reclamation are automatic allowing

the administrator to focus on other business-critical

tasks.

Reduces capital and operational expenses:

•

Achieving higher capacity utilization rates reduces

the need to purchase additional storage capacity

and software licenses. In addition, higher utilization

results in less power and cooling requirements by

reducing the number of disk drives required.

Improves capacity utilization by simply specifying a

utilization range of the Vdisk

Accelerates storage consolidation:

Adaptive provisioning

HP StorageWorks EVA Dynamic

Capacity Management Software

Eliminate the need for ongoing storage administration

to improve capacity with an enterprise-class

provisioning solution using the ease of configuration of

HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Arrays

•

Improved

capacity utilization allows more applications to be

deployed on the same storage array.

Management flexibility for greater control:

•

The

flexible architecture allows the administrator to easily

switch between automatic and manual modes to

quickly adapt to changing business needs.

Protects valuable data:

HP StorageWorks EVA Dynamic Capacity

Management Software provides a comprehensive

solution that automates storage provisioning and

improves capacity utilization for the HP StorageWorks

Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) family. Designed for

the enterprise market, EVA DC-Management Software

uses advanced automation to automatically “right-size”

the supported file system and the EVA virtual disk

(Vdisk) storage volume to the needs of an application.

This dramatically improves capacity utilization by

allowing the administrator to simply specify a capacity

utilization range for each Vdisk. In some cases, EVA

DC-Management Software can more than double

storage utilization when compared to traditional

storage provisioning methods where utilization may be

as low as 20-40 percent.

•

Valuable data is protected

by integrating host and storage operations during

expand and shrink cycles.

Storage replication software

HP StorageWorks Business Copy EVA

Software

Combines management simplicity and advanced

local replication technologies to improve application

availability and reduce the backup window for the HP

StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA)

Configuring EVA DC-Management Software policies

takes just seconds with its effortless wizards and

advanced automation. The simple “set and forget”

provisioning not only reduces the resource cost of

ongoing storage provisioning, but also allows for the

potential postponement of additional capacity purchases

due to increased storage utilization. This also helps to

reduce the operational costs of powering and cooling

unnecessary storage while helping the environment by

lowering the enterprise’s carbon footprint.

HP StorageWorks Business Copy EVA Software, an

array-based application that utilizes a powerfully

simple HP StorageWorks Replication Solutions

Manager (RSM) user interface, creates, manages,

and configures local replication on the full EVA

product family to meet business continuity and
