The HP StorageWorks XP24000 Disk Arrays are large enterprise-class storage systems designed for organizations that simply cannot afford any downtime or tolerate any data loss. The XP 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 support, enable a multi-site disaster tolerant design to achieve complete business continuity. And with enhanced data protection and security features, you can decrease exposure to data loss.The XP24000 also decreases the costs and complexities of data management with a broad portfolio of software. Through thin provisioning, organizations can reduce power and cooling costs by supplying storage capacity to applications from a virtualized pool and reducing unused storage that consumes power, requires cooling, and takes up space. As a virtualization platform, the XP enables important functions such as heterogeneous data migration, array repurposing, and storage tiers. The XP 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. And by consolidating multiple hosts running diverse operating systems to an XP, you can reduce the time it takes to manage diverse environments and simplify the implementation of backups and disaster recovery solutions.Additionally, with thin provisioning automatically allocating resources when needed and the XP's ability to scale seamlessly, you'll be able to accelerate the growth of your business. With an XP disk array, you can feel confident that the business information your people need is available to them-wherever and whenever they need it.
