HP Introduces Next-Generation Enterprise Array for Mission-Critical Workloads - Seite 2

Advanced, always-on disaster recovery
With the most critical data residing on enterprise-class storage platforms, organizations must keep data protected and recoverable at all times. HP XP7 Storage features a new disaster recovery capability with multiarray virtualization to prevent business disruption during or after online data migrations, without measurable performance impacts. Data remains protected using the customer's local or remote strategy with 100 percent uptime.

"Today's mission-critical workloads cannot afford to forfeit performance or scalability for increased disaster recovery and data protection," said David Scott, senior vice president and general manager, HP Storage. "With the introduction of HP XP7 Storage, we are supplying customers with a single system that is highly efficient, with features that can reduce the risk of data loss and provide nonstop data availability."

Reduced data and business risk
HP XP7 Storage features, including new user authentication and access control functions, increase administrative and resource segregation, enabling customers to manage more data more securely. This is particularly important for large enterprise environments where a single system may be used to drive multiple lines of business, serve thousands of internal and external customers, and be managed by several administrators.

To further address data security requirements, HP XP7 Storage secures data with Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 encryption readiness.

Protection for storage investments
Thorough testing and end-to-end solution certification ensures customers that their HP XP solutions will work as anticipated in their actual environments. HP Technology Services has a broad portfolio of services supporting HP XP Storage that provides the consulting expertise and support to boost performance in a converged infrastructure.
