Business Value
A no compromise, stress-free storage solution for enterprise organizations that demand always-on data availability, seamless scalability, and cost-savings through data center consolidation.
The HP StorageWorks XP12000 Disk Array is an enterprise class storage system that delivers state-of-the-art reliability and "always-on" availability for mission-critical applications where downtime is not an option. The XP12000 is designed for organizations that demand the most from their storage.
Complete redundancy throughout the architecture provides no single point of failure, and non-disruptive online upgrades ensure that data is always available.
Industry-leading random and sequential performance is ideal for database, OLTP, Oracle, SAP, and Exchange workloads. Massive boot-once scalability meets capacity, performance, and heterogeneous connectivity needs today and tomorrow-without ever requiring a forklift upgrade. Advanced virtualization technology simplifies the lifecycle management of data in heterogeneous SAN environments by supporting up to 32 Petabytes of external storage—all of which can be managed from one single pane of glass. Flexible secure array partitioning eases management, while array-to-array local and remote data copying enables multi-site disaster tolerance. World-class service and support for IT environments meets the most demanding needs.
In a world where every business decision triggers an IT event, the XP12000 enables an adaptive enterprise--one that can quickly capitalize on and manage change. The breadth and value of the XP12000 capabilities ensure the ability to demand more agility for adapting to real-time business needs. Information is protected and available by uncompromised simplicity through consolidation and management efficiencies.
What's new
400 GB FC 10K rpm 4 Gb/sec disk drives - The XP12000 disk array now support a higher capacity Fibre Channel (FC) disk drive. This drive increases the capacity internal to the array for tier 1 needs.
