Virtualization SAN
Starter Kit
HP P2000 G3 FC MSA Dual Controller Virtualization SAN Starter Kit
AP848A
The HP StorageWorks P2000 G3 FC MSA Dual Controller Virtualization SAN
Starter Kit addresses the growing need for server and storage administrators to
deliver end-to-end storage, virtualization, and management capabilities across
their network infrastructure. The hardware bundle consists of six Host Bus
Adapters (HBAs), two FC switches, a P2000 G3 FC MSA Dual Controller Array
(SFF Chassis) as well as two licenses per switch enabling Server Application
Optimization (SAO) and Adaptive Networking (AN). SAO is an adapter
technology that offers Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities that can be used in
conjunction with fabric wide QoS and AN to enable a high performing, virtualized
infrastructure. With SAO deployed, administrators can protect a VM and its
application by assigning its IO flow to a specific priority level. The QoS priorities
are enforced at the hardware level, thereby providing adequate bandwidth during
periods of high congestion. Applications such as email and databases achieve
better performance when deployed in specific SAO and MSA configurations.
