Overview |
|
|
| Do you want to significantly improve your efficiency, simplify your operations and lower your TCO? By pooling, sharing and centrally managing your storage resources, you can put virtualization to work and produce better business outcomes for your company.
With its innovative split-path architecture, the HP StorageWorks SAN Virtualization Services Platform provides centrally managed storage pooling and virtual volume provisioning of HP and non-HP storage resources. The HP SVSP enables high scalability, top performance, and high availability of all SAN resources. It brings substantial improvements to managing enterprise storage, reducing administration costs and improving asset utilization. It also offers a consistent set of storage and mobility services that improves flexibility, protects data, and decreases business risk. Services offered include volume management, data migration, copy services (clones and snapshots), synchronous and asynchronous mirroring and thin provisioning. |

Features and Benefits |
|
|
Sharing and pooling of storage that improves efficiency, simplifies operations and lowers TCO
- Consolidation of heterogeneous storage: Consolidate storage platforms to reclaim unused and stranded capacity to improve utilization and lower TCO.
Centralized management of all your storage pools and Data Services drives higher efficiency, productivity and greater simplification.
- High performance architecture: Innovative split-path architecture provides high availability and top performance for all your SAN resources.
- Highly scalable: Seamless scalability in capacity and performance.
Consistent set of data services that increases flexibility, protects data and decreases risk
- Centralized volume management: Easily provision, grow and migrate volumes as needed by your business requirements.
- Non-disruptive copy services: Improve application recovery through well integrated low-capacity snapshot and virtual disk group technologies.
- Sync and Async mirroring: Mitigate planned and unplanned downtime, and increase application availability with centralized local and remote mirroring solutions.
Improve asset utilization and decrease costs with thin provisioning
- Grow your volumes on demand: Thin provisioning allows an administrator the ability to provision “thin” volumes and grow them into the large ones when needed by the application, significantly improving capacity utilization.
- Thin provisioning for any vendor hardware: SVSP offers thin provisioning for any vendor’s hardware, unlike the competition that requires their storage platform in order to gain the tremendous TCO benefits of this functionality.
- No rip and replace needed: Thin provision all your heterogeneous storage (HP and Non-HP), no rip and replace approaches needed for outstanding investment protection.
