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