Expanding the power of the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA), the HP StorageWorks 12000 Virtual Library System EVA Gateway accelerates backup performance in complex SAN environments while improving overall reliability. Integrating seamlessly into existing backup applications and processes by emulating popular tape libraries and tape drive formats, the HP VLS12000 EVA Gateway matches the existing data protection environment, removing the need to change backup software or monitoring policies. Additionally, because the VLS EVA Gateway uses HP EVAs as the storage pool, ease of use is maintained throughout the system. By emulating multiple tape drives simultaneously, more backup jobs can be done in parallel resulting in reduced backup times and, because the data resides on disk, single file restores are exceptionally fast.

The HP Virtual Library System EVA Gateway simplifies your SAN environment by providing more virtual devices and leveraging existing switches and HP EVA infrastructure. The result is the ability to vastly increase scale yet reduce the complexity of shared storage while maintaining the manageability of the system. As your environment changes, the HP Virtual Library System EVA Gateway adapts to it - host masking and mapping ensure that only the appropriate hosts have access to the HP Virtual Library System.

The HP Virtual Library System EVA Gateway offers advanced features such as Automigration which allows users to move data under the control of the VLS from the VLS storage to tape or another VLS. The VLS EVA Gateway will also be able to take advantage of data deduplication when that feature is launched in early 2008. For more information on the VLS EVA Gateway, please visit the link below:

EVA iSCSI ConnectivityEVA iSCSI Connectivity

EVA4400 iSCSI support is available through the EVA4400 iSCSI Connectivity Option. This powerful solution provides iSCSI connectivity to an EVA4400 utilizing the EVA's existing Fibre Channel infrastructure.

The HP StorageWorks EVA4400 iSCSI Connectivity Option extends the advantages of Fibre Channel SANs into smaller departments and remote locations. This EVA4400 option allows customers to incorporate iSCSI servers within SANs without requiring additional storage arrays or management costs. Use the EVA's Command View software to manage the iSCSI connectivity to the array and mount the iSCSI device in the same rack as the array. For small-SAN deployment the EVA4400 Starter Kit with the iSCSI Connectivity Option provides an affordable, robust and highly available simple iSCSI solution for smaller budgets.

For more information and operating system support:

http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/evaiscsiconnect/index.html

The EVA also supports select ProLiant Storage Servers (i.e. NAS) connected as file/print/iSCSI gateways. The ProLiant DL380 G5 x64 SAN Storage Server and DL585 G2 Storage Server each feature Microsoft's Windows Unified Data Storage Server 2003 operating system that includes Microsoft iSCSI Software Target standard, while other DL380 G5 Storage Server models offer optional support for Microsoft iSCSI Software Target. Microsoft iSCSI Software Target leverages existing management expertise and inexpensive Ethernet infrastructure to deliver IP-based block access to an EVA or Fibre Channel SAN. So ProLiant Storage Servers with iSCSI target functionality not only add file and print services to your EVA investment, but they help you save even more by enabling tiered (Fibre Channel and iSCSI) block access for application servers.

In addition, any ProLiant DL380 G5 Storage Server or DL585 G2 Storage Server is a perfect platform from which to run Command View EVA. You stretch your investment even further when you host EVA management, file and print services, and iSCSI connectivity all from the same ProLiant Storage Server gateway solution.

The EVA4400 provides one of the highest density disk storage solutions in its class of product. The EVA4400 can be configured in 18U of rack space with eight 2U 12-bay M6412 FC disk enclosures for a maximum capacity of 96 disk drives and a maximum storage capacity of 96 TB of disk capacity. The EVA4400 supports the HP 10000 G2 series racks.

The EVA supports the 400GB 10K rpm dual-ported 4 Gb/s FC disk. The EVA4400 will support up to 96 disk drives. The EVA4400 array will support single or mixed drive capacities and types (high performance and FATA) within an enclosure. HP recommends using the same drive type (the same capacity) within a disk group because virtualization allocates space proportionate to the highest capacity drive with in the group. A minimum of eight high performance Fibre Channel drives are required in a configuration.

The EVA also supports 146GB, 300GB, and 450GB 15K rpm dual-ported 4 Gb/s FC disk drives. The EVA arrays will support single or mixed drive capacities and types (high performance and FATA) within an enclosure.

The EVA supports 1TB dual ported 4 Gb/s Fibre Attached Technology Adapted (FATA) disk. An EVA will support a full configuration of FATA disk drives. The EVA4400 Starter Kits and the EVA4400 can be configured with any combination of FATA and high performance disk drives; total raw capacity will vary based upon the redundancy (Vraid) selected. A minimum of eight FATA drives are required in a configuration.

FATA drives are designed for lower duty cycle applications such as near on-line data replication for back-up. These drives should not be used as a replacement for EVA's high performance, standard duty cycle, Fibre Channel drives. Doing so could shorten the life of the drive.

The EVA4400 models are 4Gb/s FC Switched Fabric enabled and are compatible with 8Gb/s, 4Gb/s or 2Gb/s FC Switched Fabric SANs with XCS v9.0. They can co-exist in the same FC SAN with EVA3000/5000 or EVA4x00/6x00/8x00 FC storage solutions and many other SAN devices. The EVA4400 with embedded switch model is 8Gb/s FC ready with XCS v9.0. The embedded switch is an 8Gb/s, 10 port B-series SAN switch for a total of 20 ports per controller enclosure..

The EVA4400 takes advantage of the benefits of Fibre Channel (FC) in distance, performance and connectivity. The use of optical Fibre cabling allows distances between connected segments of a SAN to be up to 500 meters @ 1 Gb/s; 300 meters @ 2 Gb/s using short wave multi-mode, 150 meters @ 4 Gb/s and up to 10 kilometers (6.21 miles) @ 1 Gb/s when using long wave cable. Storage Area Networks (SANs) can be constructed using FC switches/directors for fabric connectivity. HP StorageWorks SAN B-series and C-series switches and directors provide exceptional connectivity while increasing the effective bandwidth of the network. Supported SAN features include Zoning for communication isolation and Inter-Switch Links (hops) up to 10 km.
