NEWS HP has unveiled storage virtualisation software at the Storage Networking World held in Florida this week. The product is based on virtualisation technology from StorageApps, the software company it acquired last July. The company proudly presented a server connected to the company's virtual array Raid Subsystems with StorageApps virtualisation software. The new software, called Surestore SANLink Appliance, allows virtualisation to take place between heterogeneous host and storage environments with up to 32 or 64 fiber channel connections. Compaq was also busy launching its own virtualisation strategy at the same event. The company launched a new disk array called the Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) which runs the first piece of Compaq's virtualisation software. The software will be able to handle heterogeneous storage devices across SAN.
