The Enterprise Virtual Array 3000 (EVA3000) is the mid-range member of the HP StorageWorks
virtual disk array enabled by VersaStor technology. The EVA3000 is designed for the data
center where there is a critical need for ever-increasing capacity/replication requirements,
performance demands and business continuance needs. Support is provided for HP
StorageWorks Continuous Access, HP StorageWorks Business Copy, and HP OpenView
Storage Operations Management Software. The EVA3000 is a full 2-Gb end-to-end Fibre
Channel Array that operates in 1-Gb, 2-Gb or mixed 1-Gb/2-Gb SAN fabrics.
The EVA3000 is available in one of four integrated "independent bundle" configurations, which
includes one pair of HSV100 controllers, two FC drive enclosures, and 8 to 16 FC hard drives
(bundle dependent). For ordering information and configuration rules, refer to the EVA3000

HP supports three product lines of Fibre Channel switch products that may be used to build SAN fabrics. Each
product line provides certain advantages that apply to specific applications. For more information on specific switch
models and selection, please refer to Chapter 2 in the SAN Design Guidelines:
http://www.hp.com/go/SANDesignGuide
The B-Series product line includes a wide range of Fibre Channel switches, described as "SAN switches" and "Core
switches." Products in this family include switches from the HP StorageWorks SAN Switch 2/16 to the HP
StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64. This product line includes switches with 8, 16, 32, and 64 ports, including both full-
function and entry-level models. The HP StorageWorks Core Switch 2/64 includes a pair of independent 64-port
switches in a single chassis with a high level internal redundancy.
The C-Series product line includes the Cisco MDS 9506 and 9509 Multilayer Directors and the Cisco MDS 9216, 9120,
and 9140 Multilayer Fabric Switches. The MDS 9506 is supported with 224 ports, over seven modular chassis
consisting of both 16-port and 32-port modules. The MDS 9506 is supported with 128 ports, over four modular
chassis consisting of both 16 port and 32 port modules. The MDS 9216 has a basic configuration with 16 ports. It
has an expansion slot that supports either a 16- or a 32-port card, for 32 or 48 ports in total.
The M-Series Fabric product line includes a wide range of Fibre Channel switches described as "Directors" and
"Edge switches." A partial list of products in this family includes the HP StorageWorks Director 2/140 and the HP
StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/32. This product line includes switches with 16, 24, 32, 64, and 140 ports internal
microcode. The HP StorageWorks Director 2/64 and 2/140 switches have a high level of internal redundancy.
