Can I use EVA or 3PAR Storage to replicate XP storage for DR site?

[Hanry Zhou]

the primary site is using XP 12000 storage, and I'd like to find out if I can use a cheaper storage, for instance EVA/3PAR storage for DR site, by using software like XP Continuos Access XP?

If not, what would be the choice to replicate XP storage on remote site?

[Hanry Zhou]

If EVA can not be the the target of XP storage replication, then what other options do we have?

we don't want to use another XP for DR, it is just too expensive for us.

Hello,

if you want to use Continuos Access XP the replication site have to be a XP array. You can use host-based mirror (Windows disk mirroring, HP-UX LVM Mirror etc.) or 3rd party software, like DataCore for mirroring to any other storage.

patrick,

I am not only asking for replicating data to another storage, but also to a remote for DR.

EVA to replicate XP storage data at DR site is not the option, then what would it be the option ?

Hello, to mirroring/replicate storages between different vendors, use storage virtualization products - Falconstor, Datacore... (avoid HP SVSP)

Suggestion:

 cheaper product is a MPX200 to move Users Data from Storage to another Storage.

However read notice before beccause HP don't support  data moving from any storage array to HP Storage
In my company we use a lot this product when we want move data from old storage to new storage when the storage array doesn't come from the same family
