Single SAN stretched between two sites or racks

Software features are bundled with the array – including Thin Provisioning, Snapshots, Application Consistent Snapshots, Remote Copy (Array Replication)

Remote Copyfeatures choice of Asynchronous Low Bandwidth Replication or Full Synchronous replication

Multi-Site Capability – Real Time Protection from Site Failure allows Storage Nodes to be split between sites

– Common infrastructure for all of IT• Application servers, networking and enterprise

scale-out storage within HP BladeSystem

– Reduce network costs • Virtual connect acts as both a LAN and SAN

within the c7000• Use Onboard Administrator and Insight

Management for server, network and storage hardware management

– Utilises High-Density MDS600 Drive Enclosures• Connects to P4800 Nodes via inbuilt SAS

connections

– Lower power/cooling costs • HP Thermal Logic keeps server, storage,

networking equipment power cooling costs low

NEW STORAGE FLEXIBILITY

Start with a smaller footprint• New 2 node configurations• More space for

application servers• 12TB Usable

15U

More choices, higher storage density• 2 new starting capacity points• Field installation for existing c7000’s• Expand up to (8) P4800 nodes

within 1 c7000

Storage high availability across racks or sites

Multi-Site Clustered Storage

• Faster and more efficient vSphereoperation with copy/clone operations, block zero and assisted locking

• VAAI integration built into all P4000 controllers with SANiQ 9 and works across P4000 clusters / pools

• Works with all vSphere 4.1 environments

• VAAI offload scales-out with P4000 clusters

Accelerate virtual machine environments on P4000 SANs with VAAI integration

PROVISION P4000 DIRECTLY FROM VCENTER WITH INSIGHT CONTROL FOR VMWARE VCENTER

– HP Insight Control 6.2 for VMware vCenter• VMware vCenter plug-in• HP Servers + HP Storage + HP Networking• Map VMware environment to physical environment• Provision VMs and Datastores

P4000 DEMONSTRATION

The industry’s first SAN converged with HP BladeSystem

HP P4800 BLADESYSTEM SAN

BETTER INFRASTRUCTURE

• Common hardware management

• 65% smaller storage footprint

• 30% reduction in storage power/cooling costs

• Elimination of SAN switch

BETTER SOFTWARE

• Reduce storage management

• Better capacity utilisation, with Thin provisioning

• All-inclusive storage SW avoids budgeting issues

• VMware VAAI and Microsoft integration

P4000 SANs – Full functional, easy to manage SANs, now in BladeSystem version
