HP StorageWorks Continuous Access provides disaster tolerant replication across a Fibre Channel SAN.
Continuous Access EVA performs real-time replication between HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Arrays
of the current and earlier generations. Continuous Access EVA provides the highest level of FC SAN data
protection to customers in order to meet disaster tolerant business continuity implementation goals. Through
the use of MAN/WAN Fibre Channel SAN extensions, Continuous Access EVA provides 24x7
protections against disaster like scenarios, in campus, metro or continental networks. Thus, enabling
business protection against unforeseen events.
HP StorageWorks Disaster Tolerant Solution for mySAP Business Suite on EVA offers a business
continuance solution for SAP environments, where data integrity and value added functionality are high
priorities. Information on implementing remote mirroring of an SAP database as part of an overall data
protection strategy with SAP applications can be found at:
The HP StorageWorks IP Distance Gateway provides SAN over WAN connectivity for protecting and
replicating data between EVA systems. By connecting islands of SANs over WANs, the IP Distance
Gateway enables CA replication (Asynchronous and Synchronous), SAN device sharing, data migration
and other long distance data services. At the core of providing long distance data services is the ability to
copy, move and replicate data locally and over long distances. However, SANs have limited distance
capabilities (10km) and IT managers need to share, protect and move data over greater distances than
10km, routers and switches that link SANs over IP WANs is the weapon of choice for most IT managers.
The IP Distance Gateway uses the FCIP (Fibre Channel Internet Protocol) standard to extend SAN
connectivity over the WAN.
