IP Distance Gateway
Objectives:
You will learn about the new HP IP Distance Gateway product for EVA systems, how to identify & qualify opportunities and how to provide a low-cost BC/DR solutions for your customer.
12 May 2007
Fibre Channel and distance
• Fibre Channel standards specify nominal distances between switch elements that are less than the distances available in an IP Network.
− Short-wave less than 500m
− Long-wave less than 35Km
• Since Fibre Channel and IP Networking technologies are compatible, tapping into a more affordable and available IP service can dramatically reduce the monthly cost of wide-area links and extend the maximum distance between Fibre Channel sites
13 May 2007
DR Over Distance Technology
Technology Limitations
SONET, FICON • Very high cost for installation, maintenance and equipment
Dedicated native FC• Very limited distances even with long-wave transceivers
• Costly
FCIP• Some performance trade-offs

HP IP Distance Gateway
• 2x 1GbE Ethernet ports• 2x 2Gb Fibre Channel ports• HP StorageWorks mpx Manager • High performance
− 35K IOP/s− 320 MB/s
• Multipath support• Supported with EVA 3000, 5000, 4000, 6000, 8000

Use Case - Remote Data Replication for BC/DR purposes between two EVA systems
Remote SiteHeadquarters
WAN
Customer Problem: Low Cost Replication via CA
Need to provide CA replication capabilities to all EVA systems at a lower cost
Solution: HP IP Distance Gateway with FCIP
The IP Distance Gateway provide FCIP over WAN at a third of the cost of other solutions.
CA CA
16 May 2007
Use Case - Remote Data Replication for BC/DR purposes between two EVA systems
Identify the opportunity− Look for customers who have already an EVA system installed and who have postponed the implementation of Continuous Access due to the high cost of the FC IP interconnect solution
− Ask the customer if new business continuance and data protection regulations have been implemented in their company
− Ask the customer if his business can accept downtime due to a disaster on the primary data center installation
− Look for customers with existing legacy FC IP solutions like the SR2122. Most likely they suffer with heavy performance problems
17 May 2007
Use Case - Remote Data Replication for BC/DR purposes between two EVA systems
Qualifying questions− Do you need to lower the costs for data protection using remote data replication with CA?
− Do you need to reduce the time to complete your remote data replication between two EVAs?
− Do you need an FCIP technology that is tightly integrated into the EVA system solution?
18 May 2007
Use Case - Remote Data Replication for BC/DR purposes between two EVA systems
Provide the solution− The HP IP Distance Gateway allow the connection between two EVAs over remote distance at a 1/3 of the cost of comparable solutions from Brocade or Cisco. • Within a redundant configuration these cost savings count times 4x (4x units required)
− Despite the price advantage the IP Distance Gateway offers similar performance as today‘s FC IP solutions from the B- and C-Series
− In comparison to the legacy SR2122 product the data throughput is drastically improved. • 35K IOP/s vs 15K IOP/s for write performance
− The tight integration into the EVA system allow for a centralized and efficient management of the BC/DR solution

Use Case - Bridging heterogeneous SAN Islands
Customer Problem: Incompatible SAN Fabrics
Due to E-Port interoperability or problems with nameserver scaling multiple SANs within data centers arenot connected.
Solution: IP Distance Gateway with NL-Ports
Eliminates E_port issues with FC-FC Routing. RouterNL_ports appear to servers like generic target LUNs.

Provision storage across heterogeneous fabrics
21 May 2007
Use Case - Bridging heterogeneous SAN Islands
Identify the opportunity− Look for customers that have been involved in merger & acquisition activities that need to bridge SANs from multiple vendors
− Look for expensive and under utilized SAN devices like large array systems, VTL and Tape Libraries that need improved utilization
− Find customers that have different SAN fabrics installed from Brocade, Cisco, McDATA or QLogic
22 May 2007
Qualifying questions− Do you need to connect different SAN islands from Brocade, Cisco, McDATA or QLogic?
− Do you need to share storage devices across SAN islands?
− Do you want to further consolidate and simplify your storage infrastrucure?
Use Case - Bridging heterogeneous SAN Islands
23 May 2007
Provide the solution− The IP Distance Gateway uses FC N-Ports that make devices on different fabrics appear like standard server ports. This way avoids incompatibility issues between SAN islands from different vendors
− The IP Distance Gateway provides SAN extension at a third of the costs of comparable B and C Series solutions
− The solution allows to maximize the utilization of existing storage resources
− The IP Distance Gateway protects the investment in current platforms
Use Case - Bridging heterogeneous SAN Islands
