Instant Recovery & Zero Downtime Backup Support Matrix

for HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array using SMI-S agent

Version: 5.8 Date: August 28, 2009

The main feature of HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array is the ability to create snapshots

of data stored on the disk arrays. These snapshots can be used to back up the data using a

different server (backup system), and thus reduce the backup load from the production server

(application system), allowing the production applications to run uninterrupted. The largest

benefit of the snapshot integration is that the backup window is reduced, lowering the load on

the production server.
