This IDC study discusses HP's family of enterprise StorageWorks products, the Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) and the XP series, and provides a residual value forecast for both. The EVA is the lead solution for the legacy Compaq and HP Windows/Linux environments, while the XP series targets the HP-UX and heterogeneous enterprise environment.

"HP continues to provide a comprehensive product set to both the midrange and enterprise market with the third generation of EVA and the fourth generation of XP. When combined with the HP integration offerings, they provide excellent solutions for a broad range of capacity and performance requirements." - William Roch, research director, Technology Asset Valuation
