The priorities are clear: Maintaining a continuously available infrastructure—at the lowest cost—while enabling the security, integrity and confidentiality of valuable data and transactions are top priorities for most companies today. But you also need to be able to respond dynamically to changing needs wherever they occur—and be prepared to deal with unplanned events like power outages and natural disasters.
Keep your company protected: Whatever the cause, downtime and data loss can have a devastating affect on the bottom line. HP StorageWorks solutions for business continuity and availability for your Microsoft environment provide options for the smallest business with direct-attach storage to large enterprises with multiple terabytes and hundreds of sites.
HP StorageWorks also supports Microsoft’s high availability solutions--using application-level replication to maintain two distinct copies by using local continuous replication or cluster continuous replication, or with replica Exchange and SQL Server databases located on a separate volume or server. This replication mode can be implemented either on an HP StorageWorks Storage Area Network (SAN) or Direct Attach Storage (DAS) storage technology, delivering data redundancy and providing a first line of defense in case the active database becomes unavailable.
HP StorageWorks provides uncompromising availability with hands-free failover/failback between sites that enables resurrection of Microsoft applications at remote sites within minutes with HP StorageWorks XP Cluster Extension Software and Cluster Extension EVA software. In addition, HP Application Recovery Manager software (AppRM) provides a Microsoft -compliant solution with automated zero-down time backup for Microsoft Exchange or SQL Server.
