HP StorageWorks Cluster Extension EVA software is an integrated solution that provides protection against system downtime with automatic failover of application services and read/write enabling of remotely mirrored mid-range storage over metropolitan distances. Cluster Extension EVA adapts in real time, to real life situations, providing protection via rapid site recovery. Cluster Extension EVA delivers true hands-free failover/failback decision making - in the event human storage administrator is unaware of the outage, unable to respond or not present - because Cluster Extension EVA requires no server reboots or LUN presentation/mapping changes during failover.
Cluster Extension EVA integration provides efficiency that preserves operations and delivers investment protection as it monitors and recovers disk pair synchronization on an application level and offloads data replication tasks from the host. Cluster Extension EVA supports the entire EVA family of arrays at either the primary or secondary site. Implementation of a Cluster Extension EVA solution assures the highest standards in data integrity by maximizing the advantages of its integration with Continuous Access EVA Software, and with HP Serviceguard for Linux in RedHat and SuSe Linux environments and Microsoft Cluster Service in Windows 2003 environments.
What's new
HP enhances the industries' first full-site failover for the mid-range:
With support for Linux RedHat EL 4 & SuSe SLES 9, using HP Serviceguard for Linux as the cluster service in Linux environments.
Features & benefits
Agility - real time protection: Provides hands-free failover/failback decision-making because it detects failures and automatically manages recovery in the event human storage administrator is unaware of the outage, unable to respond or not present.
Agility - eliminates operational delays: No reboots and LUN presentation/mapping changes during failover; servers on both sides recognized from the initial boot.
Agility - near instantaneous data replication: Performs read/write enabling of remotely mirrored storage.
Value - scalable: Supports automatic failover of application services over metropolitan distances. Extends a single cluster solution over metropolitan distances.
Value - extensive condition checking: Monitors and recovers disk pair synchronization on an application level.
Value - manageable: Offloads data replication tasks from the host.
Simplicity - full range of EVA support: Supports the entire EVA family of arrays at either the primary or secondary site.
Simplicity - reliable data transfer: Assures highest standards in data integrity by maximizing the advantages of Continuous Access EVA Software.
Simplicity - dual OS support: Integrates with HP Serviceguard for Linux in RedHat and SuSe Linux environments and Microsoft Cluster Service in Windows 2003 environments Integrates with HP Serviceguard for Linux in RedHat and SuSe Linux environments and Microsoft Cluster Service in Windows 2003 environments.
