Powered by HP Prolient DL380 and SAN/iQ
The combination of HP's industry-leading ProLiant DL380 and LeftHand Networks' SAN/iQ software provides a scalable, highly available, full featured SAN that leverages the ease-of-use and cost bebfits of the iSCSI network protocol. SAN/iQ runs on the ProLiant
DL380 G4 to create "storage modules," which are then aggregated together forming a storage pool managed from a single intuitive GUI. By utilizing DL380 servers as storage modules within a SAN, HP and LeftHand Networks break through the proprietary, special-purpose storage hardware barrier to feature set including SAN/iQ Snap and SAN/iQ Remote Copy.
The HP ProLiant DL380 delivers on its history of design excellence with enterprise-class performance, uptime and manageability for a on high-performance 10,000 and 15,000 RPM applications such as Microsoft Exchange, Oracle, or Microsoft SQL Server.
While sophisticated in design, SAN/iQ greatly simplifies storage management and provisioning. In addition to HP's hardware-level Insight Manager that users of the HP ProLiant servers are familiar with, the HP ProLiant DL380s
can be physically distributed and managed centrally through an intuitive graphical user interface. Wizards guide the administrator through discovering the HP ProLiant
DL380s running SAN/iQ on the network, creating data volumes and connecting volumes to production servers. Adding HP ProLiant DL380s to an established cluster is as simple as adding any other Ethernet device to network. Intelligence within SAN/iQ automates the process of striping and mirroring volumes across the new storage module. This same intelligence enables volumes to expand automatically once configured. All management processes can be handled in a matter of minutes during normal business hours, without any system downtime.
