PRODUCT REVIEW: New HP StorageWorks EVA4400 Storage Array

 Enterprise level storage - now available in your size.

Introducing the HP StorageWorks EVA4400, a mid-range virtual array storage solution that's the latest entry from the proven HP EVA family. You'll have all the advantages of enterprise-level storage without the complexity and cost of ownership.

By virtualising its storage capacity, the HP StorageWorks EVA4400 flexibly supports the data storage needs of multiple host servers and applications, all from one device. Administrative tasks are much easier and faster to complete so you can focus on other, more critical issues. It will help you save time and money.

Simple. Fast. Efficient. And that's just the installation.

The HP StorageWorks EVA4400 is the only array that virtualises at system initialisation. This reduces the installation complexity, so it installs quickly, in just a few hours. With traditional arrays, installation can take days, leading to prolonged system downtime. You can start managing data more efficiently right away.

We cut clicks, steps and operations. No wonder it's 5 times more efficient to manage.

Now you'll do more in fewer clicks. With the HP Command View EV A management application, all tasks are controlled through a single graphical user interface, taking 82% fewer steps to complete administrative tasks.2 That makes tasks up to 75% less complicated to perform with the EVA4400 than competing storage arrays.

Storage that expands when your business expands.

You now have the flexibility to meet changing business requirements with automated array provisioning. When disk capacity is added to meet increased application loads, data is automatically re-apportioned to deliver the most efficient capacity utilisation. In fact, the EVA4400 can store 30% more data in the same amount of disk capacity as traditional arrays.

Harmony in your current and future environment.

The HP StorageWorks EVA4400 easily integrates into your current environment by being specifically designed to support applications such as Microsoft SQL and Exchange, SAP and Oracle. To anticipate future needs, the EVA4400 expands easily, and is supported by a complete ecosystem of HP software to enable even higher levels of data protection and availability.
