The ProLiant Cluster Kit with OpenView Storage Mirroring is designed to assist in simplifying the configuration of cluster solutions for customers that require a cost effective disaster recovery alternative. This solution provides high levels of data and applications availability in the Microsoft Windows Operating System environment through clustering to provide no-single-point-of-failure. The ProLiant Cluster Kit with OpenView Storage Mirroring supports two-node clusters based on Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server and two to eight-node clusters based on the Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition operating system, StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 1500 cs (MSA1500 cs) with MSA20 or MSA30 Attached or the StorageWorks Modular Storage Array (MSA1000) and ProLiant servers. This solution also provides replication capabilities to make one or more copies of the cluster data. Replication can take place between a cluster and standalone configuration or between two clusters.

The ProLiant Cluster Kit with OpenView Storage Mirroring (OVSM) is an ideal entry host-based software product for IP networks. HP OVSM does not require high bandwidth Fibre Channel networks, high capacity replication and zero down time service levels. Storage Mirroring provides near real-time full application or file recovery up to the last byte replication. OVSM is an excellent choice for low bandwidth; low storage volume changes and meets business recovery goals within tens of minutes or hours. The immediate return on investment is realized in the reduced management cost associated with branch or small offices networks.

ProLiant Cluster Kit with OpenView Storage Mirroring offers a host-based application that performs remote copy over an IP LAN/WAN. The Storage Mirroring application operates on a ProLiant server with Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition operating systems. Some Storage Mirroring key features are asynchronous replication that can be scheduled to a fine granular level--Logical Unit Number (LUN), file or byte level. Other features include multiple replication configuration options including peer-to-peer and many-to-one. Additional configurations include replication from small office environments to enable low cost of entry for high return of business continuity.
