HP IP Distance Gateway (mpx110)
The HP IP Distance Gateway (mpx110) provides Fibre Channel SAN extension over an IP network.
Used in conjunction with the EVA or XP family of storage systems and Continuous Access software,
the mpx110 enables long-distance remote replication for disaster tolerance.
Table 139 (page 273) lists the features and requirements for the IP Distance Gateway.
