The HP Storage Works XP24000 Disk Array is a large enterprise-class storage system designed for organizations that simply cannot afford any downtime or tolerate any data loss.

The XP24000 mitigates the risk of business downtime by providing a bulletproof platform with complete hardware redundancies, hot-swappable components, and non-disruptive online upgrades. Data replication and tightly integrated clustering solutions, along with disaster recovery (DR) support, enable a multi-site disaster tolerant design to achieve complete business continuity.

In addition, the XP24000 decreases the costs and complexities of data management with a broad portfolio of software. Through thin provisioning, organizations can reduce storage costs. IT managers can now allocate required logical capacity from a single storage pool and purchase physical capacity as needed. As a virtualization platform, the XP24000 enables important functions such as heterogeneous data migration, array repurposing, and storage tiers.

The XP24000 and its best-in-class software minimize business risk by offering constant data availability and unfailing data protection, and lower costs through efficient management solutions to provide extraordinary business outcomes. With an XP24000, you can feel confident that the business information your people need is available to them wherever and whenever they need it.
