HP has announced three new midrange storage systems and tape drives that it claims can reduce data-center cooling costs by as much as 50 percent, Network World reports.
The new EVAs are as much as 45 percent more power efficient and 24 percent faster than previous EVA models, according to HP. They use technologies such EVA Dynamic Capacity Management, Vsnap and low-cost Fibre ATA drives to improve drive utilization, eliminate unnecessary drive purchases and reduce energy consumption.
