HP StorageWorks 300 Virtual Library System EVA Gateway
HP Updated: 2008-02-23Expanding the power of the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA), the HP StorageWorks 300 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 drives, the HP VLS300 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.
Virtual tape with the scale to backup up your enterprise: The HP VLS300 EVA Gateway can scale beyond 500TB and achieve aggregate throughputs in excess of 8TB/hr.
High availability features enable backup consolidation: Multiple paths to the arrays, redundant power supplies and fans complement the high availability functions of the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array to create a highly reliable virtual library.
Non-disruptive integration into the current backup and recovery processes: By emulating HP StorageWorks ESL E-Series and HP StorageWorks MSL tape libraries as well as HP 1/8 autoloaders, the HP StorageWorks 300 Virtual Library System EVA Gateway integrates seamlessly into existing backup and recovery processes and applications.
Improved storage efficiency: The HP 300 Virtual Library System EVA Gateway includes user-enabled compression allowing the effective capacity to double.
Respond to change quickly: Intuitive GUI enables resources to be provisioned in under 5 minutes.
Reduced TCO : Easy management of the VLS combined with the EVA results in minimal additional training. Additionally improved recovery performance improves time to resolution for help desks.
