Product Description

EVA5000 2C12D-C      HP EVA5000 with Dual hsv110 controllers, (x 12) 14 bay shelves, 168 drive capacity

The HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array 5000 (EVA5000) is a high performance, high capacity and high availability “virtual”

RAID storage solution for the high-end enterprise class marketplace that removes the time, space and cost boundaries of traditionally

architected storage. The EVA5000 is designed for the data center where there is a critical need for improved storage utilization and

scalability while meeting application specific demands for consistently high transaction I/O and MB data rate performance, seamless

capacity expansion, instantaneous replication, and simplified storage administration.

The EVA5000 has two FC ports per HSV110 controller.

Each controller-to-host interface is 2 Gb enabled.

With dual 2 Gb host interfaces per controller, the controllers are capable of 8 Gb aggregate data transfer rates.

The controllers are also compatible with 1 Gb and 2 Gb FC switches, HBAs, servers and other storage solutions.

Each HSV110 controller pair interfaces with up to 240 disk drives over four 2 Gb FC-AL loops for an

aggregate data transfer rate of 8 Gb.

The loops are arranged in redundant pairs connecting to up to 120 disk drives per loop pair.

The redundant pair allows for load balancing between each loop and redundancy, should any loop become inoperable.
