HP External Storage Software XP20000 License
In today’s business world, mergers, acquisitions, and technology changes have created IT environments where varieties of dissimilar servers and storage must co-exist. HP XP External Storage Software decreases the stress and reduces the cost of owning heterogeneous data storage by simplifying and centralizing common SAN management tasks through storage virtualization. In addition it simplifies movement of data between dissimilar arrays. HP XP External Storage Software provides these benefits by giving you the ability to access, monitor, and manage data residing on a variety of different disk arrays as if all of the data were residing on an HP XP Disk Array.
Through advanced virtualization technology, HP XP External Storage Software enables the hosting of XP Disk Array data on externally attached disk arrays. Servers can see the capacity of the various arrays, but are insulated from the physical attributes.
• Connect open systems and mainframes through a central location to multiple petabytes of data residing in dissimilar disk arrays, thus increasing the capacity that you can manage and easing the consolidation effort in environments that have a wide variety of storage and computing systems.
• When you use HP XP External Storage to connect your disk arrays to an HP XP Disk Array, the externally attached disk arrays appear to be part of the HP XP Disk Array. Therefore you can simplify your backup and restore environment by using a single backup agent for all of your diverse disk arrays.
