San Virtualisation Services Platform - HP StorageWorks T5521A Supplementary Manual

SAN Virtualisation Services Platform

the HP StorageWorks SaN Virtualisation Services Platform (SVSP) allows customers to centrally manage storage
pools and easily provision virtual volumes of HP and non-HP storage resources in diverse server environments.
The benefits of SAN Virtualisation are:
• Consolidation of heterogeneous storage platforms to reclaim unused or stranded capacity.
• thin provisioning to improve asset utilisation and decrease costs.
• Consistent set of services to provision, grow and migrate volumes, improve application recovery through low-capacity snapshots,
and increase application availability with centralised local and remote mirroring.
