• Dual– and multi–node cluster support provided for host–level fault tolerance and high system
availability.
• Support for active-active failover, a llowing the use of industry popular multipathing solutions and
native host bus adapters.
Performance
Outstanding s
elf-tuning performance includes:
• Virtualization technology—Vraid, enables data to be d istributed from 8 to 240 disks to increase
disk spindle count far beyond traditional RAID sets. This virtualization method also optimizes
storage for the best performance of a specificconfiguration and application. Enterprise Virtual
Array eliminates tedious management functions to provide the best performance possible.
• Both online h
igh-performance disk drives and FATA (Fibre Attached Technology Adapted) disk
drives.
• State-of-the-art controller software that improves performance, increases capacity, and allows for
easy dynami
cstorageexpansion.
Scalability
The EVA5000 provides:
• Up to 32 TB of usable capacity. Total maximum raw capacity will vary based upon the
redundancy (Vraid) selected.
• Amaximumof240diskdrives
• S uppor t for 1024 virtual disks
The EVA3000 provides:
• Up to 22.4 TB of raw capacity (2C4D configuration using 400 GB FATA disks).
• A maximum of 56 disk drives
• S uppor t for 1024 virtual disks
All models support the following disk capacities:
• 300 GB FC disk drives
• 250 GB, 400 GB, and 500 GB FATA disk drives
• 14 6 G B F C di s k drive s
• 72 GB FC disk drives
• 36 GB FC disk drives
