Rethinking Business Continuance: Driving Data Availability Up and Costs Down

Tags:
disaster recovery

Overview Many potential reasons for failure can cause business critical applications to go offline and endanger a company's viability. While server virtualization has provided solutions that help with business continuance strategies, many traditional SANs do not provide effective support for the storage availability that server virtualization requires. HP LeftHand P4000 SANs provide continuous storage availability across storage system, rack, and building failures, helping server virtualization software to effectively implement HA solutions that are automatic and dependable. The P4000 SAN's advantage is its simplicity and cost-effectiveness, making efficient use of storage while implementing a solution that requires no human intervention.
