Overview

The HP StorageWorks EVA iSCSI Connectivity Option provides modular multi-protocol SAN designs with increased scalability, stability and ROI on storage infrastructure.
Over 70% of servers within a data center are not connected to Fibre Channel SANs for any of the following reasons:
Do not require FC Performance Cost of the Connectivity to SAN is too high Distances are too great
In the typical organization, each distributed server has its own directly attached storage and backup devices. Because these devices are isolated from other servers, excess capacity cannot be redeployed.
This EVA option extends the FC SAN investment with integrated multi-protocol support, allowing customers to incorporate iSCSI servers without requiring additional storage arrays or management costs. Fibre Channel SANs based on EVA technology are now able to leverage IP networks to create larger SAN sizes across longer distances. This enables increased consolidation. Instead of potentially underutilized, direct-attached, server-dedicated storage, a multi-protocol SAN provides access to storage that is allocated as and when it is needed.
The EVA iSCSI Connectivity Option enables organizations to integrate low-cost Ethernet-connected servers into an EVA by bridging the iSCSI protocol to the Fibre Channel protocol. This capability allows iSCSI servers to leverage shared SAN resources, improving asset utilization and enabling new applications. This integration greatly reduces the cost of connecting servers to centrally managed storage and helps provide a cost-effective solution to introduce utility computing into the enterprise.
An EVA with multi-protocol support also provides network storage at reduced infrastructure costs. Small and medium businesses now have a lower entry point to take advantage of SAN benefits. Large enterprises may also deploy multi-protocol SANs in departments and remote offices.
Key Benefits:
Delivering SAN like benefits over the Ethernet IP network, the HP StorageWorks EVA iSCSI Connectivity Option is an integrated hardware unit that enables access to block storage on a EVA FC SAN across an Ethernet network Provides customers a flexible and cost effective way to connect stranded servers to existing Fibre Channel storage increasing return on investment. DAS to SAN via IP Extend access to and the virtues of FC SANs across Ethernet networks including:
Consolidated storage Improved disk utilization Improved IT efficiency
