Optimize Return on Investment

With storage virtualization technology, the capacity and computing power of multiple ESVA systems can be consolidated into a storage pool. For the most efficient utilization of pooled storage capacity and bandwidth, ESVA systems support thin-provisioning and an intelligent access prioritizing mechanism on the virtual architecture. With these advanced features, storage utilization can be optimized and applications can achieve their ideal service levels. ESVA delivers advanced technologies to make the most of your storage investment.

Simplify Storage Infrastructure

ESVA simplifies storage management by enabling a single point of administration. Scaling the storage pool is also a very easy task and can be done without disrupting service. Each ESVA system can be scaled for increased capacity by connecting it to expansion enclosures. If you want to increase capacity and performance at the same time, you can also scale out the virtualized foundation by adding additional ESVA systems. When a new system is added, the distributed load balancing technology will dynamically balance workloads among storage systems and increase processing power.

Maximize Application Productivity 

In the competitive business world, downtime not only causes profit loss but can inflict damage on corporate reputations. The revolutionary architecture of the ESVA eliminates planned downtime for storage scaling. To support business continuity, it also comes with storage-based replication capabilities. Local replication offers snapshot images and full data copies in a single storage pool, while remote replication enables users to deploy full data copies across storage pools. You enjoy the highest data availability and minimized service downtime in the event of logical or physical errors.

Advanced Hardware Designs

All ESVA arrays are based on High Availability (HA) design to achieve high fault-tolerant capability. Main hardware modules come in redundant pairs to prevent single point of failure. Infortrend enriches the ESVA Series with power saving designs, such as intelligent drive spin down and high-efficiency power supplies, contributing to environmental sustainability while cutting energy costs for companies.
