Virtualization SAN Starter Kit

HP P2000 G3 FC MSA Dual Controller Virtualization SAN Starter Kit AP848B

The HP 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), sixteen 8Gb FC SFPs , ten HP 5M FC cables 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 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.
