HP StorageWorks Flex Copy XP

HP Flex Copy XP enables bidirectional, server-independent data transfer between the
HP XP12000 and these HP Disk Array storage systems: XP48/128/256/512/1024,
MSA1000, MSA1500, EVA 3000, EVA 4000, EVA 5000 EVA 6000, EVA 8000. Data
can be transferred locally within a single data center or over metropolitan distances in a
distributed storage network, without consuming server or LAN performance resources.
This capability allows for more efficient, cost-effective leverage of business-critical
data in a wide range of storage solutions, resulting in enhanced IT effectiveness and
better return-on-investment in storage infrastructures. These storage solutions include
nearline/array-based storage backup, data distribution and concentration, and
hierarchical storage management.

Multipathing/high availability software

HP StorageWorks Secure Path

HP Secure Path is a family of high availability multipathing software products providing
continuous data access from the disk array to host servers running Windows Server
2003, Windows 2000, Windows NT, Linux, Sun Solaris, Novell NetWare, IBM AIX,
and HP-UX.
Redundant hardware, advanced RAID technology and Secure Path's automated failover
capability enhance fault tolerance and availability. Secure Path effectively eliminates
controllers, disk drives, interconnect hardware and host bus adapters as single points
of failure. Secure Path:
Ensures increased business efficiency by maintaining high availability of
•
business-critical data and by simplifying the task of path management
• Monitors path status, and in the case of a path failure, automatically re-routes
data to an alternate path
• Allows easy path management from a single application with graphical displays
and task automation
