HP P4000 ecosystem
HP StorageWorks P4000 SAN Solutions are iSCSI storage networks based on storage clustering.
Storage clustering allows you to create pools of storage by consolidating storage nodes on the
network into a cluster, providing high levels of performance and scalability.
Figure 1: Storage clustering creates pools of resources on a set of HP StorageWorks P4000 SAN systems and presents them as
virtual volumes to the application servers
