HP P2000 G3 FC MSA Dual Controller Virtualization SAN Starter
KitThe 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) 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.
