A storage management server can manage up to 16 EVA controller pairs (EVA4400, EVA3000s,
EVA5000s, EVA4x00s, EVA6x00s and/or EVA8x00s) in any one fabric. An EVA4400 controller pair will
support up to 256 multi-path host connections (up to 1024 HBAs).
The EVA4400 will scale up to 96 disks (96TB using 1TB FATA disk drives, and 43.2TB using 450 GB
high performance disk drives).
Configure to Order (CTO) options and the HP 10000 G2 Series Racks allow even greater server and
device integration, flexibility and scalability for the EVA4400. Data center managers can customize
server, storage and back-up configurations as well as using the residual cabinet U space to mount
management servers, switches and have the peace of mind that it is built with HP factory precision
manufacturing.

HP Storage Works EVA4400 disk arrays can be connected as external storage devices behind the HP
StorageWorks XP family of disk arrays.
The XP24000/XP20000 simplifies the management of heterogeneous SAN environments through its
ability to support up to 247 PB/ 96 PB respectively of external storage-all configured ‘behind’ a single
XP. XP External Storage software uses advanced virtualization technology to allow storage administrators
to host XP Disk Array LUNs on externally attached disk arrays. Any Fibre Channel port from any CHA
pair installed in any slot can be used to connect to external storage.
Instead of seeing a confusing collection of dissimilar arrays, host systems perceive all the data to be
stored inside the XP disk array. In effect, the XP becomes the storage controller for a flexible, multi-tiered
collection of storage with a range of cost and performance capabilities. By configuring current or legacy
storage systems behind a single XP24000/XP20000, data can be moved back and forth dynamically
across tiers, all of which is invisible to the applications.
The XP’s virtualization feature also reduces the total cost of storage ownership by:
Exploiting common storage management across multiple vendors’ systems
Easily deploying a dual-vendor policy
Facilitating simpler and lower cost data migrations
Increasing storage utilization
Extending the life of legacy storage
