HP StorageWorks arrays
Family guide
The HP StorageWorks disk array family includes:
HP StorageWorks arrays: Bridging
the gap between data explosion
and storage infrastructure
• All-in-One (AiO) Storage Systems: Providing
simple, affordable networked storage; specifically,
network-attached storage (NAS) and Internet
small computer system interface (iSCSI), with
integrated data protection features and simplified
management
Regardless of the size of your organisation, it is likely
that you are facing daunting challenges regarding
data storage. You not only require immediate access
to the exploding volumes of data, but government
regulations and corporate governance are dictating
what must be kept, for how long and when you need
to gain access to it. Adding that to today’s economic
situation, you need to cut your near term capital and
operating costs without sacrificing quality. Therefore,
it is critical that you invest in a cost-effective, long-term
solution that can support your business now and well
into the future, and that all of the different components
and options are compatible with one another.
• Modular Smart Arrays (MSAs): Enabling
low-cost, scalable, high-performance storage
consolidation through SANs to meet entry-level
to midrange requirements
• Enterprise Virtual Arrays (EVAs): An ideal
storage solution for midrange to enterprise-class
environments that require high performance,
high capacity and high availability
• XP Disk Arrays: The HP StorageWorks XP24000/
XP20000 Disk Arrays are large enterprise-class
storage systems designed for organisations that
simply cannot afford any downtime or tolerate any
data loss
HP StorageWorks’ family of disk arrays reduces the
complexity of your storage environment and helps
to lower costs because they are easy to install, easy
to manage and easy to support. All of your storage
needs are addressed – whether it is an entry-level
modular array, an enterprise-class disk array or
intelligent management software. Our simplified
array and user interface designs mean that you will
spend less time installing, configuring and managing
your storage management tasks.
We also offer a range of complementary options
to help you tackle from the most basic to the
most complex storage challenges. These include
everything from a single tape drive to an automated
tape library as well as enterprise-wide SANs with
arrays flexible enough to manage gigabytes to
petabytes of storage.
Our server family consists of the HP Integrity and
HP ProLiant server families as well as HP BladeSystem.
When you combine HP StorageWorks solutions with
HP servers, the advantages multiply still further –
hardware and software integrates seamlessly, systems
are easy to manage, change is simplified and you are
prepared for future challenges. You can learn more
about our server family on page 11.

Why should you choose HP storage with
your HP server? There are many reasons why
HP StorageWorks is your best storage option with
your HP server. Here are just a few:
• How important is it that your service partner
provides a single point of ownership and
accountability? Do they meet your service needs
throughout your business? Have you reached the
mission-critical reliability you require to meet your
business needs?
• Do you need a single interface to monitor,
automate and control your complex IT environment?
Is pooling and sharing of resources important
for increasing your IT utilisation? Do you need to
reduce business risk from unplanned downtime?
From training and basic product support to
selective outsourcing, our services help you realise
the full potential of your technology to meet your
business requirements.
Our software allows you to manage, virtualise
and protect IT resources to simplify and optimise
your infrastructure. For example, HP Systems
Insight Manager can lower costs and simplify with
common storage and server management.
• Do you have everything you need to meet your
infrastructure needs?
Our server and storage options – including
memory, disk drives, processors, racks, operating
system software, array-based software, power and
cooling – help optimise your solution by enhancing
system performance and functionality.
• How efficiently do your storage and servers
work together?
We spend hundreds of hours rigorously testing our
storage and servers together so you can deploy
our solutions with confidence.
Storage matters more than ever and the demands
on your storage and server infrastructure will only
continue to grow. Over the next several pages,
you’ll see how HP StorageWorks solutions have
been designed to answer your unique needs and
requirements – and promote greater business
outcomes – now and into the future.
• Do you need to save time when deploying storage
and servers?
Accelerate deployment with solutions that are
ready to run. With Factory Express you can choose
how your solution is built, tested, integrated,
shipped and deployed, which means you know
your solutions will work from Day One.

To gain the fullest value from your array investment, you can benefit from intelligent
software and expert services throughout the IT life-cycle.
HP software
HP provides software that allows you to align IT with business needs, automate error-prone processes and fine-tune your infrastructure.
Storage resource management
Storage Essentials Enterprise Edition
HP Storage Essentials suite delivers integrated heterogeneous functionality for network (DAS, SAN, NAS) management, storage resource
management, provisioning, backup reporting and application infrastructure monitoring. The suite consists of HP Storage Essentials
Enterprise Edition and features a range of value-added plug-ins.
Storage Essentials Standard Edition
Storage Resource Management
(SRM) Software
HP Storage Essentials Standard Edition helps midsize business with limited IT staff see the big picture, reduce complexity and gain control
of their SAN infrastructure inventory for small to medium HP storage-based SANs – consisting of HP EVA, HP MSA and HP NAS; HP EML
E-series Tape; HBAs and switches – and affordably enjoy the benefits of storage resource management software.
Systems Insight Manager
HP Systems Insight Manager (SIM), our unified server-storage management tool, helps increase IT staff efficiency and hardware platform
availability for small and large server deployments alike. It is designed for end-user setup, and its modular architecture enables systems
administrators to plug in additional functionality as needed.
Command View EVA
HP StorageWorks Command View EVA is a comprehensive software suite designed to simplify array provisioning and management
of the high-performance HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) family of storage array products. For managing EVA with
heterogeneous networked SAN devices, including servers and infrastructure, you can use HP Systems Insight Manager to do the job.
EVA Dynamic Capacity
Management Software
HP StorageWorks EVA Dynamic Capacity Management Software is a comprehensive software solution that automates storage
provisioning and improves capacity utilisation on the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) family. Designed for the enterprise
market, EVA Dynamic Capacity Management Software uses advanced automation to automatically ‘right-size’ the file system and storage
volumes to provide the highest levels of capacity utilisation while reducing ongoing storage administration needs.
XP Command View Advanced Edition HP StorageWorks XP Command View Advanced Edition Software provides centralised, Web-based management for multiple XP Disk Arrays.
It reduces the total cost of XP array ownership by increasing the efficiency of storage administrators and saves time in the management of
external storage.
XP Thin Provisioning
HP StorageWorks XP Thin Provisioning Software reduces the cost, accelerates return on investment and reduces environmental impact of
your HP StorageWorks XP24000 and XP20000 Disk Arrays. Allocate anticipated future storage capacity needs from a pool of virtual
disk storage and reduce the physical disk capacity initially required. As utilisation of disk space increases over time, purchase more disk
capacity as it is needed and install it without affecting your applications. Accelerate return on investment by using the virtualised storage
pool to quickly deploy more applications and servers per storage system. And because you are more efficiently using your storage
resources, you enjoy the green effect of reduced floor space, power and cooling requirements and also a reduced carbon footprint.
XP Array Manager
HP StorageWorks XP Array Manager Software improves efficiency and data security by allowing you to manage volumes, allocate
disk array resources, control access to the data and protect the data on HP StorageWorks XP24000 and XP20000 Disk Arrays.
Configure and manage data volumes for most effective use of the XP Disk Array. Partition array resources to isolate applications and
reserve cache memory for the most frequently accessed data. Configure security to prevent unauthorised servers from accessing the data.
Create read-only volumes for archiving and data retention and then securely delete the data when it is no longer needed.
Remote replication software
Continuous Access EVA
HP StorageWorks Continuous Access EVA Software is an array-based application that utilises a powerfully simple graphical user interface
(GUI) to create, manage and configure remote replication on the whole EVA product family.
XP Continuous Access

HP StorageWorks Storage Mirroring provides host-based, real-time, nearly continuous replication for small and midsize business
customers seeking a low-cost alternative to expensive fabric or array-based solutions. Patented replication and failover technology
continuously captures byte-level changes as they happen and replicates those changes to one or more target servers at any location
without geographic limitations.
Local replication software
Business Copy EVA
HP StorageWorks Business Copy EVA Software is an array-based application that utilises a powerfully simple HP StorageWorks
Replication Solutions Manager user interface to create, manage and configure local replication on the full EVA product family to meet
