Overview |
|
|
| Do you want to significantly improve your storage efficiency, simplify operations and lower TCO? By pooling, sharing and centrally managing your SAN Storage, 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 |
|
|
Simplified Management of Heterogeneous SAN Deployments
- Aggregates capacity of multiple arrays into pools: Consolidate heterogeneous arrays into virtual pools to further simplify management of your SAN storage.
- Enables easy provisioning of the right storage: Easily provision, grow and migrate volumes as needed by your business requirements and by the needs of the very mobile virtual machines.
Easily provision the right type of storage to match the value of your data, and thus optimize storage costs.
- Centralized management of pools and services: Centrally manage all your storage pools and data services driving higher efficiency, productivity and greater simplification.
Lower Costs
- Increases storage efficiency via pooling: Consolidate heterogeneous arrays into virtual pools to further simplify management of your SAN storage.
- Improves asset utilization with Thin Provisioning: Thin Provisioning allows an administrator the ability to provision “thin” volumes and grow them dynamically as needed by the application, significantly improving capacity utilization, and lowering near term capital expenses.
- Simplifies operations with uniform data services: Streamline operations by using a consistent set of data services across all types of storage arrays.
Increase productivity with the SVSP extensive set of data services, including data migration, volume management, copy services (clones and snapshots) and mirroring (sync and async).
Performance And Scalability That Evolves With Your Needs
- High performance, highly scalable architecture: Leading edge, innovated split-path architecture provides high availability and top performance for all your SAN resources.
- Modular & flexible to grow with user requirements: The SVSP provides a very flexible architecture that allows you to scale up independently in multiple dimensions, as needed by your business requirements.
- Pay only for what you need: The SVSP modular architecture enables you to buy only what you need, and pay as you growth in order to optimize investments.
Reliable to Help You Decrease Business Risk
- Recover faster from failures: Improve application recovery through well integrated low-capacity snapshots and virtual disk group technologies.
- Supports extensive third party interoperability: Extensive heterogeneous support matrix for OS's and arrays, both HP and non-HP, to support reliably all typical environments.
- Robust local and remote mirroring capabilities: Mitigate planned and unplanned downtime, and increase application availability with centralized heterogeneous local and remote mirroring solutions.
