Overview
You have worried about data protection and system downtime, now your worries are over.

HP Cluster Extension Software (CLX) is an integrated solution that works with HP virtual storage arrays to protect against system downtime. Delivering automatic failover of application services and read/write enabling of remotely mirrored mid-range/high-end storage over metropolitan distances. CLX delivers true hands-free failover/failback decision making. If a storage administrator is unaware of the outage, unable to respond, or not present, HP Cluster Extension Software can manage the failover because it requires no server reboots or LUN presentation/mapping changes during failover.

CLX Software supports the entire EVA/XP/P6000/P9000/HP 3PAR arrays.

What's new
  • Support for HP 3PAR class arrays with Microsoft Windows and Linux
