HP has introduced “green” storage technology that claims to cut storage array power and cooling costs in data centres by 50%.
The new Adaptive Infrastructure offerings include thin provisioning and performance enhancements for the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) family, tape drives based on the Linear Tape Open (LTO) 4 standard, new DAT 160 tape drives for small and medium businesses, and the first HP StorageWorks tape product developed for HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosures.
“These environmentally responsible storage products will help address two key areas that our customers care about: saving money and conserving energy,” said Manoj Suvarna, country head for HP StorageWorks Division, Technology Solutions Group, HP India Sales. “HP is helping customers build next-generation data centres that can lower costs, mitigate risks and optimise business outcomes.”
Using hardware and software technologies such as EVA Dynamic Capacity Management (DCM), Vsnap and FATA disk drives, the new HP StorageWorks EVA 4100/ 6100/ 8100 mid arrays claim to help customers optimise hard drive utilisation, eliminate unnecessary HDD storage disk purchases, shrink their carbon footprint and efficiently manage IT resources and storage provisioning tasks.
