The HP StorageWorks P4000 SAN Solutions (AY456A) which delivers
enterprise functionality that enhances virtual environments, simplifies
management, and reduces costs. Easy to deploy, scale and maintain, HP
P4000 SANs (AY456A) ensure that crucial business data remains available.
The innovative approach to storage provides unique double fault
protection across the entire SAN, reducing vulnerability without driving
up costs the way traditional SANs can.
- Storage Clustering allows a customer to consolidate multiple storage
nodes into pools of storage. All available capacity and performance is
aggregated and available to every volume in the cluster. As storage
needs increase the HP P4000 can scale performance and capacity on-line.
- Network RAID stripes and mirrors multiple copies of data across a
cluster of storage nodes, eliminating any single point of failure in the
HP P4000 SAN. Applications have continuous data availability in the
event of a power, network, disk, controller, or entire storage node
failure.
- Thin Provisioning allocates space only as data is actually written
without requiring pre-allocation of storage. This raises the overall
utilization and efficiency of the HP P4000 SAN and ultimately increases
the ROI.
- Snapshots create thinly provisioned, instant point-in-time copies of
data on a per-volume basis. Built in application integrated snapshots
enable automated quiescing for Microsoft VSS enabled applications.
Administrators can access HP P4000 SAN snapshots to recover individual
files/folders from the volume, or rollback an entire volume to a prior
state.
- Remote Copy replicates snapshots between HP P4000 SANs at primary
and remote locations. Copies are thinly provisioned with no space
reservation required at the remote location. Remote Copy enables
centralized backup and disaster recovery on a per-volume basis.
