Implement virtual server high availability without the costs and complexity of separate devices.
Storage Clustering allows you to consolidate multiple storage nodes into storage pools. All available capacity and performance is aggregated and available to every volume in the cluster. As your storage needs increase, the HP P4000 G2 can scale performance and capacity on-line.
Network RAID stripes and protects multiple copies of data across a cluster of storage nodes, removing any single point of failure in the HP P4000 G2 SAN. Applications can have continuous data availability in the event of a disk, controller, storage node, power, network, or site failure.
Thin Provisioning allocates space only as data is actually written. As a result, it doesn’t require a
pre‑allocation of storage. This raises the overall utilization and efficiency of the HP P4000 G2 SAN, reduces costs, and ultimately increases the ROI.
Snapshots create thinly provisioned, instant point‑in-time copies of data on a per-volume basis.
Administrators access snapshots to recover individual files from the volume or rollback an entire volume. Built-in application integration provides automated quiescing for Microsoft® VSS applications.
Remote Copy replicates snapshots between P4000 G2 SANs at primary/remote locations. Copies are thinly provisioned with no space reservation required.
Remote Copy enables centralized backup and disaster recovery on a per-volume basis and leverages application integrated snapshots for faster recovery.
