V2X/V2X2 Shared Virtual Array disk system
 
The StorageTek® V2X/V2X2 Shared Virtual Array® (SVA™) disk system enables you to use 100 percent of the disk capacity you purchase for Open Systems or mainframe data storage. It eliminates the need for disk system over-purchase that is common with conventional disk systems, which typically allow you to use only 30 to 60 percent of capacity for data storage.

Applications
Disk mirroring
The V2X/V2X2 SVA disk system and Peer-to-Peer Remote Copy (PPRC) can create remote synchronous mirrors that secure data for rapid recovery in case of severe data loss.
Storage consolidation
The V2X/V2X2 SVA disk system allows you to standardize online storage across mainframe and Open Systems environments. With Virtual Power Suite software, more capacity is utilized, and administration tasks are simplified with an easy-to-use interface.
Offline data processing
The V2X/V2X2 SVA disk system and SnapShot software make data copies readily available for offline data processing and application development by replicating data instantly while consuming little capacity.
Online transaction processing
The V2X/V2X2 SVA disk system utilizes 100 percent of available capacity, meeting high-throughput application needs with less purchased capacity. High availability capabilities like path balancing, failover and synchronous mirroring work to keep critical data available.
 
Benefits
Simplified storage management
Automatic macro management, intelligent self-tuning, automatic media management and disruption-free configuration changes simplify storage management, saving time and resources.
Higher resource utilization
The V2X/V2X2 SVA system enables you to use up to 100 percent of the disk capacity you purchase for your data. It can replicate data in seconds, with little additional capacity. It eliminates the need for disk system over-purchase and prevents wasted storage capacity.
Reduced costs
With the V2X/V2X2 SVA system, you gain disaster recovery and business continuity capabilities without doubling or tripling disk expenditures.
High-availability replication
The V2X/V2X2 SVA system provides for fast data replication and recovery by copying and recovering data sets and volumes in seconds, enabling enhanced disaster recovery and business continuity.
 
 Features
Standard features:
Instant backups
With the addition of StorageTek® SnapShot software, you can make instantaneous backups of your data. SnapShot copies any volume/LUN or makes file copies without using storage capacity.
Virtual Power Suite software
Use of the StorageTek® Virtual Power Suite™ software enables you to copy, move and protect data with unprecedented speed, eliminating thousands of I/Os per second.
Advanced testing capabilities
Instant resets and simultaneous concurrent testing reduce application development testing time. You can test multiple iterations of an application with no setup time and no additional physical storage.
Automatic macro management
The V2X/V2X2 SVA system’s automatic macro management feature allows you manage a single-parameter storage utilization, saving management time and resources.
