Data explosion and service oriented IT delivery demands a new way to think about storage infrastructure and requires virtualized storage. Using proprietary, disconnected, and non virtualized storage systems is a recipe for failure. Only HP StorageWorks can deliver the benefits of virtualization across your entire infrastructure including individual disk arrays like the EVA and distributed storage systems using SAN Virtualization Services Platform (SVSP). A virtual storage infrastructure from HP StorageWorks simplifies management of data growth with virtual arrays and consolidates distributed arrays into a single pool of capacity; with easy to deploy starter kits you can increase storage utilization by 300%, reduce management costs by 50%, and manage 3X more storage and 2X more servers per administrator. The EVA is the easiest to manage enterprise class array in the market and when combined with SVSP's split-path architecture you get high scalability, top performance, and high availability of all SAN resources.

The HP StorageWorks "SVSP Starter Kit" delivers all the outstanding capabilities and benefits of storage virtualization technology, but in a more affordable, easier to adopt all-inclusive package.
It features:
HP's goal in developing the "SVSP Starter Kit" is to help growing IT environments to improve efficiency, simplify operations and lower TCO by enabling the pooling and sharing of storage resources so they can start realizing the benefits of storage virtualization faster. It provides all necessary elements (hardware, software, and services) needed to virtualization enable data services for several use cases, and is conveniently packaged as one, easy-to-order product that is expandable. Use cases include storage consolidation, non-disruptive data migration, rapid application recovery, application test and deployment, tiered storage infrastructure and cost effective disaster recovery.
