HP StorageWorks 300 Virtual Library System Gateway Base UnitExpanding the power of the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA), the HP StorageWorks 300 Virtual Library System Gateway accelerates backup performance in complex SAN environments while improving overall reliability. Integrating seamlessly into existing backup applications and processes by emulating popular tape libraries and tape drives, the HP VLS 300 Gateway matches the existing data protection environment, removing the need to change backup software or monitoring policies. Additionally, because the VLS Gateway uses HP EVAs as the storage pool, ease of use is maintained throughout the system. By emulating multiple tape drives simultaneously, more backup jobs can be done in parallel resulting in reduced backup times and, because the data resides on disk, single file restores are exceptionally fast. The HP Virtual Library System Gateway simplifies your SAN environment by providing more virtual devices and leveraging existing switches and HP EVA infrastructure.Warranty: standard statement: Hewlett-Packard provides a 1-year, next-day, on-site, limitedfor the HP StorageWorks VLS Gateway hardware, plus 9x5 phone support for the duration of the
