| Q1. |
What is HP Insight Recovery? |
| A1. |
HP Insight Recovery, an optional extension of HP Insight Dynamics – VSE, provides for automated disaster recovery of logical server environments. With a simple mouse click, HP Insight Recovery transfers application environments, running on HP BladeSystem or in VMware virtual machines, to a recovery site, located away from the original site impacted by a disaster situation. HP Insight Recovery utilizes the Continuous Access capabilities of HP storage environments to ensure that application data is properly transitioned to the recovery location, and that the overall transition is measured in minutes, not days. |

| Q2. |
What are the benefits of HP Insight Recovery? |
| A2. |
HP Insight Recovery allows enterprise customers to protect their key application enviroments by providing for failover of both physical and virtual logical server environments, while coordinating the failover with storage that's protected by HP EVA Continuous Access data replication. It's easy-to-use graphical interface simplifies both configuration and testing of this replication environment, and the single "push button" failover activation at the recovery site allows for automated and fast failover of mission critical environments. |

| Q3. |
What are the typical environments for Insight Recovery failover? |
| A3. |
Environments which lend themselves to the automated capabilities of Insight Recovery include those where failover scenarios within metropolitan distances would be required, where either physical or virtual logical server environments are utilized by key applications, and when 50 or less individual application environments need to be protected.

| Q5. |
How is HP Insight Recovery licensed? |
