Server-Based management or Array-Based management with the EVA4400.Įasily Provision your EVA Storage and Replicate your Data.Provides lower management costs compared to managing traditional arrays.
Software includes a powerful scripting utility for documenting and automating EVA configuration tasks. Flexible connectivity with expanded multi-SAN discovery increases value and lowers management costs compared to managing traditional arrays.
The flexible architecture allows the administrator to easily switch between automatic and manual modes to quickly adapt to changing business needs.Improved capacity utilization allows more applications to be deployed on the same storage array.Improves Capacity Utilization by Simply Specifying a Utilization Range of the Vdisk In addition, higher utilization results in less power and cooling requirements by reducing the number of disk drives required. Achieving higher capacity utilization rates reduces the need to purchase additional storage capacity and software licenses.Once they are set, capacity provisioning and reclamation are automatic allowing the administrator to focus on other business critical tasks. It takes just seconds to configure, or change policies across multiple volumes.File systems and storage volumes are automatically expanded online as application needs increase, or shrink to reclaim unused capacity that can returned to the disk group for use by other applications.
This reduces the operational costs of powering and cooling unnecessary storage while lowering the enterprise's carbon footprint.Ībility to “Right-Size” the File System and the Storage Volume to the Needs of an Application The simple "set and forget" provisioning not only reduces the resource cost of ongoing storage provisioning, but also allows for the potential postponement of additional capacity purchases due to increased storage utilization. Configuring EVA DCM Software policies takes just seconds with its effortless wizards and advanced automation. This dramatically improves capacity utilization by allowing the administrator to simply specify a capacity utilization range for each Vdisk.
DCM Software uses advanced automation to “right-size” the supported file system and the EVA virtual disk (Vdisk) storage volume to the needs of an application. HP EVA Dynamic Capacity Management Software (DCM) provides a comprehensive solution that automates storage provisioning and improves capacity utilization for the HP Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) family.
