As I understand it one major difference between EMC and EVA is how they handle disk groups and how the physical disk spindles are written too and distributed within those disk groups. The EVA allows you to create massive disk groups comprising of as many disks as your array will handle, and the larger the better in terms of Disk IO. I also understand many of the SAN solutions handle RAID and VRAID differently and performance can be increased vs. decreased by the amount of disks, depending on what SAN solution you go with.

The way EMC writes data compared to EVA is significantly different and you should understand how your SAN works first and foremost.
