HP P6000 Enterprise Virtual Array Pre-Release
HP P6000 EVA official launch on 7 June 2011.
The highly anticipated next generation of the Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA), the
HP P6000 EVA, will officially be launched on 7 June 2011. However, under an
HP Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), we are now able to provide HP Partners
and HP Customers with a P6000 EVA presentation, configurations
and preliminary pricing upon request.
The HP P6000 Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) is an enterprise class virtual
storage array family for midsized customers at an affordable price. With built
in virtualisation, P6000 EVA is designed to improve capacity utilisation and be
easy to manage, which lowers the cost of ownership compared to traditional
arrays. These arrays have high performance, scale easily, and are highly reliable
and available. P6000 EVA is a trusted platform for enterprise application
consolidation with solutions for Microsoft Exchange and SQL, Oracle, and SAP.
It also offers integration with virtual server platforms from VMware, Microsoft
and more, plus broad operating systems support.
What’s new in the P6000 Enterprise Virtual Array?
New P6000 EVA hardware:
• 2.5” SAS Disk Drives – allowing a 50% smaller EVA footprint and improved energy
savings of over 40%
• Flexible SAN connectivity options – choose from Fibre Channel host ports only, or
Fibre Channel and 1Gb/s iSCSI host ports, or Fibre Channel and 10Gb/s iSCSI/
FCoE host ports
