Platform Convergence

• Lower cost with x86 based storageplatforms

• Leverage HP’s economy of purchasingscale and BladeSystem expertise

• Enable scale-out architectures to meetdemand

• Only HP can converge Server, Storage,and Networking infrastructure

Platform Convergence removes the traditional “dedicated” storageinfrastructure, and moves the functions to industry standard storageand server hardware coupled with software based data services.

Virtualization

• Simplify storage management• Create a single virtual pool of

capacity• Virtualize arrays, storage networks,

and file serving• Optimize storage for virtual

infrastructure

Virtualization technologies “abstract the physical” and makeheterogeneous and scale out systems less costly to manage. Includesvirtualization with hosts, storage systems, and storage networks.

Lowering the impact and cost of datagrowth and power consumption

Capacity and Power Optimization

• Delay capacity purchases untilactually needed

• Tier storage to minimize cost andmeet SLAs

• Minimize power consumption andcost

• Report and manage power w/Insight Control

Maximizing available resources to lower CapEx and OpEx. Respondto data growth and storage density acceleration by intelligently usingcapacity and managing power consumption.

Application integration

• Joint server-storage referencearchitectures

• Application-specific storagemanagement and performancetuning

• Integrated server, storage,networking provisioning with HPOrchestration

Application specific management and tuning, solution blocks anddeployment expertise. Move towards template driven management(i.e. BladeSystem Matrix with Insight Orchestration) for traditional ITand cloud.

EVA Virtualization Benefits

Delivering unique capabilities to our customers

EVA8400

Operating Costs

Simple to use saves bothtime and money!Redeploy resources torevenue generatingactivities

Capacity Utilization

Efficient capacityutilization requires lessdisk and in turn lesspower and cooling.Eliminate strandedcapacity using all disksin the pool.

Reliability

Trusted solution with99.999% availabilityfor planned uptime.Automatedmanagement reduceseffort and therefore risk

Scalability

Grow your capacity byaggregating multipleEVA’s or other arrays withSVSP. Improve systemperformance takingadvantage of up to 4arrays.

Traditional Array – initiation

1. Adding drives

4. Leaving stranded capacity – disk groups can’t accessunused capacity from other disk groups andcapacity must be manually assigned

2. Assign RAID levels to disk groups

3. Laying out data

RAID 1 group

Enterprise Virtual Array – initiation

1. EVA automatically creates one disk group – best practice is oneor two disk groups per EVA

2. Customer selects the capacity required of Vraid1 or Vraid5data storage and disk sparing level

3. EVA lays out the data – all Vraid5 and Vraid1 data and sparespace is sprinkled across all the drives in the group – EVAformat disks on the fly.

R1

Traditional Array – add capacity

SP

1. Add drives

2. Configure RAID 1 disk groups

3. Lay out RAID 1 datain RAID-1 LUNs

4. Add more drives

5. Configure more RAID diskgroups and spare

6. Lay out data… start over again

Enterprise Virtual Array – add capacity

2. LUNs are automatically stretched acrossnew disks & data is re-sprinkled (re-leveled) across all disks.

1. Add drives to the array and add drives todisk group

1. Critical Issue

... is driving storagerequirements

High Availability

Server virtualization causes a greaterimpact of a single server failure.

2. Resolution

Virtualization software vendors offer high-availability, e.g.

• MS Clustering

• MS LiveMigration

• VMware Vmotion

• VMware HA &FT

What’s so special aboutHP LeftHand P4000?

Server A

Server B

– A cluster of storage nodes

• Each node contains capacity (diskdrives), a storage controller (CPU), cache(RAM) , network bandwidth(1or 10 GE), SAN/iQ software, redundantcooling and power

• The SAN is comprised of 2 to 16nodes managed as a single system

• Volumes are striped across allavailable nodes in a cluster

Disk, Cache CPU, NICs

Tier 2: e.g. SATA

Tier 1: e.g. SASServer A

Server C

Server D

– Grow on your terms

• Add new nodes at any time non-disruptively scaling capacity andperformance

• Automated re-allocation of volumes

• Supports multiple tiers with online datamigration
