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), sixteen 8Gb FC SFPs , ten HP 5M FC cables
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.
