HP StorageWorks VLS EVA Gateway - Continuous Access Replication Solutions Guide

Overview

This paper demonstrates how the proven replication capabilities of the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) can be used to make real-time, or near real-time, copies of backup data written to the HP StorageWorks 12000 or 300 Virtual Library System (VLS) EVA Gateway. The high-end VLS EVA Gateway emulates physical tape libraries, disk-to-virtual tape (disk-to-disk) backups using existing backup application(s). The VLS Gateway family is based on a modular design with external storage, where multiple VLS server nodes can be connected together to form a single VLS Gateway device. The gateway storage consists of external EVA array LUNS on SANs with no management of the arrays by the gateway.
