Product Technology
8Gb Fibre Channel
controller
Two host ports per FC controller shipped with SFPs. The P2000 G3 FC controller can run in either
point-to-point or FCAL (loop). The default is FCAL which is used in Direct Connect, particularly with
two controllers. The PtP (fabric) mode is used with almost all switches.
Combo controller with
FC and iSCSI ports
This ingenious dual-protocol "combo" controller supports a full FC SAN through the 8Gb FC ports,
while designating the two 1 GbE iSCSI ports to enable remote replication over iSCSI protocol and
perform as an iSCSI target. This allows economical sharing of the storage resource (the P2000 G3
array) with one department needing the performance afforded by the 8 Gb FC ports while
simultaneously supporting another department with lesser performance needs and a budget only
allowing a 1GbE iSCSI network.
6Gb SAS controller Four host ports per 6Gb 4x SAS controller.
10GbE iSCSI
controller
Two 10GbE ports per G3 10GbE iSCSI controller. Ports are ready for the choice of SFP (none
included)
Supports the ProCurve and ISS versions of the following 10GbE parts for use in the controllers:
