Edison analysts put the management software of an HP EVA system through a series of typical day-to-day storage management tasks. The same tasks were also evaluated on similar systems from NetApp and EMC. This study demonstrates how the superior user interface and virtualization offered by the HP EVA storage system can provide organizations with the benefits of higher administrative efficiency combined with the potential ability to utilize less expensive human resources.
Get the latest on storage technologies that allow IT professionals to better cope with new IT demands. Learn how storage technologies can help you successfully tackle e-Discover, regulatory compliance, green data center initiatives and the data explosion. Get all the details now.

The powerful tape technology can address data security with tape encryption as well as long term data protection.
Discover what disk and tape really cost -- and which solution provides lower total cost of ownership and optimizes energy use for your organization
The Clipper Group explores the truth behind the myths of tape, digging into the misconceptions in the disk vs. tape debate.
Over two thirds of disk-only users look to add tape back into storage infrastructure according to recent survey.
Two years after it first offered open source code for Solaris, Sun Wednesday said it would open source the cluster technology for the operating system.
Sun will post the code to High Availability Clusters community on OpenSolaris.org in three phases, the first being a set of 24 high availability agents.
The donation of the code, called Open High Availability (HA) Cluster, is aimed at supporting application services that demand always-on availability and failover services. The agents allow users to add scalability or failover services to their cluster-enabled applications.
The Open HA Cluster agents are supported on the open source Solaris Express Developer Edition and Cluster Express, which Sun will make available in binary form in mid-July, according to company officials.
“At that point you can run an entirely open source environment based on Open Solaris and Cluster Express,” says Paul Steeves, director of Solaris marketing. Steeves said the agents also will be supported on Solaris Cluster 3.2 and on Solaris 10.
“All of this is just more commit from Sun to what we said two years ago, which was that we were going to open source everything,” Steeves said.
The Open HA Cluster code, which is being made available under the OpenSolaris Community Development and Distribution License (CDDL), will eventually provide an identical high-availability environment to that found in Sun’s proprietary Solaris Cluster 3.2.
Sun also is making available the source code for the Solaris Cluster Automated Test Environment (SCATE) to test new agents. The test framework and first test suite will be available this week. The agents include Solaris Containers, BEA Weblogic and PostgresSQL.
Sun’s release of the HA agents Wednesday marks the beginning of an 18-month process that will see 2 million lines of cluster code and 1 million lines of test code released via OpenSolaris.org.
The second phase, focusing on disaster recovery and storage replication, will come in December, according to Sun officials, and will include the Solaris Cluster Geographic Edition, which manages the availability of application services and data across geographically dispersed clusters.
