HP StorageWorks Business Copy VA is an array-based software product that allows customers to create up to
1023 non-disruptive high-performance, local business copies of any active application volume or LUN for the

LUN copies can be used by another application or system for a variety of purposes, including batch processing
and backup. You can create up to 1023 Business Copy LUNs with the VA7000 family arrays. Business Copy VA
