Storage System Components
The Enterprise Virtual Array 3000 consists of three main components:
■ Hardware—the physical pieces that comprise the Enterprise Virtual
Array 3000, such as drives, enclosures, rack, and all associated cabling. These
pieces are combined in a rack and are connected to the SAN.
■ Command View EVA—the management software used to control, manage,
and monitor the Enterprise Virtual Array 3000. Command View EVA also
manages Enterprise Virtual Array storage systems that use HSV110
controllers. Management is done using a standard web browser.
■ VCS—the controller-resident software that manages all aspects of storage
system operation, including communication with Command View EVA.
These components work together to create an entire storage system solution for
reliably storing your data.

Array 3000 storage solution.
