• Affordable HP StorageWorks EVA4000 300GB 10K Starter Kit and EVA4000 300GB 10K SAN Starter kit includes a switch, HBA's, 8 Hard Disk Drives and Emulex's EZPilot software for quick deployment of an easy to use EVA-based SAN.

• SAN over WAN connectivity for protecting and replicating data between EVA systems with the HP StorageWorks IP Distance Gateway. By connecting islands of SANs over WANs, the IP Distance Gateway enables EVA Continuous Access replication over WAN (Asynchronous and Synchronous), SAN device sharing, data migration and other long distance data services.

• Support for Apple Macintosh operating system with the EVA iSCSI Connectivity Option.

• Expanded Window support with EVA support for Windows XP Professional operating system

• HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array File Services (EVA File Services) is an integrated application and file storage solution. It serves both block and filedata concurrently with high availability and scalable performance
  

• Single, shared pool of storage delivering high utilization and lower TCO
• File serving performance which scales as needs dictates with seamless capacity expansion and high performance virtualization features
  

• Expanded hard disk drive customer self repair procedures supporting proactive drive replacement and drive firmware codeload. 

• Reduce costs and complexity : The EVA4000/6000/8000 combined with HP StorageWorks Command View EVA software offers simplicity, security and automation of any SAN and lowers TCO. The EVA provides online LUN growth, easy dynamic capacity expansion, instantaneous data replication and optimized performance.

• Robust, affordable small SAN solution: The EVA4000 Starter Kit includes EVA hardware and software, 8-146GB or 300GB10k rpm FC disks, and 4TBs licensing; for easy installation, use and scale. The EVA 4000 SAN Starter Kit includes all of the above from the Starter Kit, plus 1 HP 4/8 Base SAN Switch, 4 HP FC2142 4Gb PCI-e HBA, and the EZpilot software.

• Adapts real time: Controllers with 2/4Gb connectivity double the cache mirroring ports (from early EVAs) for improved I/O performance. Outstanding virtualization ensures the disks in the array are used efficiently, providing automated load leveling which eliminates stranded capacity, keeping drives busier, providing superior performance.

• Online expansion, tiered storage and online XCS upgrades: Add physical disks online quickly to increase capacity without restrictions typically associated with capacity expansion on traditional arrays. Mix High Performance and FATA drives on the same enclosure for maximum efficiency/ cost savings. Upgrade XCS online for the latest features, functionality/availability enhancements.

• Value: Investment protection: State-of-the-art virtualization improves performance, disk usage, and allows for easy dynamic expansion. Disks are added to groups and the EVA automatically distributes the data. The EVA also offers support for integrated iSCSI connectivity, IP Distance Gateway for Continuous Access EVA SAN over WAN and EVA File Services.

• Virtually instantaneous Snapclone and capacity-free Snapshot (Vsnap) and Delta Resync (Mirrorclone): Allows immediate use of the clone copy, saving significant time. And provides a very efficient, low cost local data replication option. Saves disk space and improves disk efficiency and utilization.

• High capacity : Supports up to 84TB today in a single cabinet and up to 120TB with an expansion cabinet of versatile storage capacity, with any combination of high performance Fibre Channel and/or low cost (500GB) FATA drives while supporting all Vraid types. Can quickly and easily add physical disks online.

• Support: Ensures effectiveness of SAN deployment in multiple environments and delivers the proactive services required to help maintain a stable, highly available HP StorageWorks EVA solution.

• Comprehensive SAN Management, Service and Support Tools and Customer Self Repair: Includes SAN management tools to improve service levels and meet customer flexibility requirements. HP Systems Insight Manager server-storage management application, HP Instant Support Enterprise Edition (ISEE) proactive remote monitoring for high availability, Customer Self Repair for improved EVA customer flexibility.
