Overview

HP StorageWorks Cluster Extension EVA Software is an integrated solution that provides protection against system downtime with automatic failover of application services and read/write enabling of remotely mirrored mid-range storage over metropolitan distances. HP Cluster Extension EVA delivers true hands-free failover/failback decision making - in the event human storage administrator is unaware of the outage, unable to respond or is not present – because HP Cluster Extension EVA requires no server reboots or LUN presentation/mapping changes during failover.

HP Cluster Extension EVA supports the entire EVA family of arrays at either the primary or secondary site. Implementation of an HP Cluster Extension EVA solution assures the highest standards in data integrity by maximizing the advantages of its integration with HP StorageWorks Continuous Access EVA Software in both Windows and Linux environments.
