HP STORAGEWORKS XP24000 DISK ARRAY


The HP StorageWorks XP24000 Disk Array is a large enterprise-class storage system designed for organizations that simply cannot afford any downtime or tolerate any data loss. The XP24000 mitigates the risk of business downtime by providing a bulletproof platform with complete hardware redundancies, hot-swappable components, and non-disruptive online upgrades. Data replication and tightly integrated clustering solutions, along with disaster recovery (DR) support, enable a multi-site disaster tolerant design to achieve complete business continuity.

In addition, the XP24000 decreases the costs and complexities of data management with a broad portfolio of software. Through thin provisioning, organizations can reduce storage costs. IT managers can now allocate required logical capacity from a single storage pool and purchase physical capacity as needed. As a virtualization platform, the XP24000 enables important functions such as heterogeneous data migration, array repurposing, and storage tiers. The XP24000 also eliminates contention for valuable storage resources through array partitioning. Partitioning enhances the success of storage consolidation efforts by assigning array resources to certain applications and administrators. Each partition can be separately configured and dynamically changed when needed. And by having multiple hosts running diverse operating systems connected to an XP24000, you can reduce the time it takes to manage various environments and simplify the implementation of backups and disaster recovery solutions.

The XP24000 and its best-in-class software minimize business risk by offering constant data availability and unfailing data protection, and lower costs through efficient management solutions to provide extraordinary business outcomes. With an XP24000, you can feel confident that the business information your people need is available to them—wherever and whenever they need it.

  • Thin Provisioning - HP StorageWorks XP Thin Provisioning Software allows you to reduce costs, accelerate your return on investment, and reduce the environmental impact of your XP24000 Disk Array by supplying disk storage capacity to your applications from a pool of virtualized storage and by automatically allocating physical capacity as needed. Configure all of the capacity you will need for your XP24000 in the future, but only buy the capacity you need today.

    Features & Benefits

  • Bulletproof design to protect against failure: When operating a business that demands constant uptime, the risk of data loss or downtime is always at the forefront. That risk is mitigated with the XP24000. All components are redundant, hot-swappable, and can be upgraded online. And, firmware can be updated one microprocessor at a time so no downtime is experienced.
  • Disaster proof solutions for complete protection: If you experience a large-scale disaster, you need to not only have high levels of data protection but also business continuance. XP24000 clustering solutions allow remote mirroring to be tightly integrated with high availability server clustering to provide true multi-site server/storage disaster recovery.
  • Grow business seamlessly: The CIO dilemma of either overbuying capacity today or planning for a costly “forklift” upgrade tomorrow is now history. The XP24000 can scale from 9 to 1152 disk drives, and all main components can be added or replaced--without shutting down critical operations. Simply buy what you need today and grow as your needs change.
  • Purchase capacity when it is needed: Reduce storage costs through XP Thin Provisioning. As an IT manager, you can now configure all the capacity you will need for the future, but only buy what you need today. As physical capacity is added, thin provisioning will automatically allocate capacity as applications need it.
  • Simplify complex management through virtualization: Simplify data management in a complex, multi-vendor environment. Virtualization enables important functions such as data migration, array repurposing, and storage tiers. XP External Storage virtualizes heterogeneous disk arrays, so that hosts see the capacity, but not the physical attributes of the external storage devices.
  • Deliver predictability and quality of service via array partitioning: Make certain your critical applications have the resources they demand with partitioning. The dynamic partitioning solution prevents inadvertent administrator errors from affecting the entire array and allows storage consolidation, even when you have applications that can’t tolerate performance loss.
  • Standardize and simplify storage through consolidation: Simplify your operations and reduce costs by consolidating multiple applications onto a single XP24000. By having multiple hosts running diverse operating systems connected to an XP, you can reduce the time it takes to manage various environments and simplify the implementation of backups and disaster recovery solutions.
  • Protect against data loss with built-in safety measures: Relax, knowing that data is protected. If power goes out, the XP24000 batteries can continue operations and then write cache data to disk. Raid 6 adds an extra layer of fault tolerance. Continuous Track checks your XP24000 for unseen issues, and the end-to-end checksum confirms data integrity from port to disk and back.
  • High-end performance: Your round-the-clock environment demands the ultimate in performance to deliver critical data at break-neck speed. The XP24000 was designed with specific changes to improve performance. The XP24000 delivers 4Gbps end-to-end solution and contains microprocessors that are twice the speed of the XP12000 microprocessors.
  • Adapt to change easier with flexible configurations: The XP24000 can have 224 FC, 112 FICON, or 112 ESCON connections, or a mixture of each, with a granular port design to give greater flexibility. RAID types can be mixed to achieve performance or efficiency. And, users can take advantage of various performance requirements to better manage system costs through storage tiers.
