Shared Virtual Array (SVA) Subsystem

Storage Technology Corporation, Networking Business GroupTek 9500 Shared Virtual Array (SVA) subsystem is available with optional Fibre Channel connections and Virtual Power Suite software solutions data duplication and data movement products. These new 9500 SVA subsystem capabilities broaden customer benefits by increasing data availability, allowing customers to develop and deploy new applications sooner, recover applications faster and simplify management of consolidated storage environments.

The 9500 SVA subsystem provides customers a competitive advantage for managing growth over traditional disk products by efficiently managing large amounts of business-critical data with enterprise-class availability and performance. As data storage growth continues to exceed IT budget growth, this proven virtual disk architecture delivers significant benefits by most effectively meeting both the system and business needs of customers whether they have a traditional enterprise or a dotcom structure. For example, when using the Virtual Power Suite SnapShot software product with the 9500 SVA subsystem, customers can cut their backup time from hours to minutes or even seconds, making applications available to users much faster. The only way legacy architectures can make data available this quickly is to use significantly more disk space and greater server resource, and construct complicated management processes.

The 9500 SVA subsystem extends the benefits of virtual to a broader range of open systems, UNIX and Windows NT servers and reaffirms StorageTek's leadership in virtual disk architecture. With the 9500 SVA subsystem, current OS/390 customers can continue to use their existing business processes and procedures built around virtual disk architecture.
