HP's Enterprise Storage Vision aims to provide a utility-like storage solution for the age of E-Services. It offers 24x365 availability, infinite scalability, and self-management capabilities, while ensuring safe data storage. It addresses the issues of high management costs, backup/restore inefficiencies, overburdened LANs, and server-specific storage inefficiencies. With its SAN architecture, centralized storage management, and support for heterogeneous servers, it provides device-level control, device-independent tools, and integrated applications for capacity, performance, and availability management. It supports multi-vendor infrastructure and offers efficient, flexible, and re-useable storage resources, with assured security and availability of customer data. HP's Enterprise Storage Vision enables shared data among business processes and allows for the insertion of new technology without downtime.
