Minimize downtime and data availability disruptions.
In the event of a disaster, maintaining data availability and integrity is integral to your company's survival. Implemented properly, disaster-tolerant technology can help ensure Business Continuity and rapid recovery times. Implemented poorly, it can allow catastrophic data loss and extended application downtime.
HP Disaster Tolerant Management service helps you implement effective recovery solutions based on the HP StorageWorks Continuous Access Enterprise Virtual Array (CA EVA), a controller-based application that performs real-time Data Replication between HP StorageWorks EVAs. This complete package of tightly integrated services provides proven, low-risk disaster-tolerant solutions for even the most demanding and complex environments, with minimal disruption to your business.
Services and technologies for dependable Data Replication and Business Continuity
Seasoned HP Services consultants work with you to solve the key challenges of maintaining two data centers: effective management of remote Data Replication, failover, and failback; and delivery of fast, predictable recovery times even following a major failure. Our experienced professionals are experts in implementing the latest in remote replication software, including HP StorageWorks CA EVA, which delivers a consistently high level of storage data protection, availability, and performance for users on fiber channel-based campus, metropolitan, or continental SANs.
HP Disaster Tolerant Management service takes a uniquely holistic approach - encompassing storage, server, network, and application management - to address your entire Disaster Tolerant infrastructure, speed recovery times, and simplify day-to-day operations. All deliverables are laboratory-tested to facilitate deployment and incorporation in existing management environments.
Custom-designed to work for your business
HP Disaster Tolerant Management service is expressly tailored to your IT and business requirements. At the outset, HP Services professionals work closely with you to understand your requirements and assess how your solution would interact with your existing infrastructure and business processes. Following solution delivery, knowledge transfer to your IT management and staff helps ensure that your team can manage issues that are specific to your business.
Package deliverables include:
- Pre-installation planning and business needs review - to help ensure a timely, effective implementation
- Configuration and deployment of customized Disaster Tolerant management stations - to provide enhanced failover and continuous management and monitoring
- System manager and operator training - to familiarize your staff with key management issues; includes extensive training on recovery from failure conditions
- Review of your technical recovery plan - to help ensure alignment with your disaster-tolerant infrastructure
- Disaster recovery test suite design - to tailor tests for your newly integrated environment

You may choose to manage your own disaster-tolerant solution following HP Services training. Or HP can manage your environment for you. In the latter case, one of your data centers could be located in an HP recovery center. This eliminates the need for additional facilities-related investments. Most important, it engages HP Services experts to monitor and manage your solution - freeing your technical resources for other business-critical activities.
