EVA Dynamic Capacity Management
automate storage provisioning and improve capacity utilisation on HP eVa.
Product description
HP StorageWorks eVa Dynamic Capacity Management Software provides a
comprehensive solution that automates storage provisioning and improves capacity
utilisation on the HP StorageWorks enterprise Virtual array (eVa) family. Designed
for the enterprise market, eVa DCM Software automatically 'right-sizes' the supported
file system and the eVa Vdisk storage volume to the needs of an application. this
dramatically improves capacity utilisation by allowing the administrator to simply specify
a capacity utilisation range of the Vdisk. In some cases, eVa DCM Software can more
than double storage utilisation when compared to traditional storage provisioning
methods where utilisation may be as low as 20%-40%.
eVa DCM Software policies are set using wizards. the '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 utilisation. this also helps reduce the operational costs of powering and cooling
unnecessary storage while helping the environment by lowering the enterprise's carbon
footprint.
Deployment
eVa Dynamic Capacity Management is optional with all HP eVa.
Supports Windows 2003 Servers (Shrink is not supported on Windows Server 2003),
Windows 2008 Server and HP UX 1 1.
