| What is Storage Services Bundling? |
| The Storage Services Bundling takes the
existing storage products along with the existing services and creates bundles of storage
hardware/software and appropriate services. The increased level of support provides for a
higher level of storage system availability for the customer. |

| Overview |
| Key Features |
| High-performance Storage Area (SAN) switch
fabric for StorageWorks™ ModularArray 8000, StorageWorks
Enterprise Modular Array 12000, StorageWorks Enterprise Modular Array16000,
MSA1000, and Enterprise Virtual Array storage systems A key component of Compaq’s Enterprise Network Storage Architecture (ENSA),
the StorageWorks Fibre Channel SAN Switch/8 and Fibre Channel SAN Switch/16 by
Compaq are high-performance, scalable switch fabrics. Major features of these switch
fabrics include:
- Eight (Fibre Channel SAN Switch/8) or 16 (Fibre Channel SAN Switch/16) 1 Gb/s
non-blocking Fibre Channel connections for high data throughput.
- Both models pre-configured with Fabric operating software, WEB Based Management Tools,
Zoning software, and QuickLoop FCAL emulation software for HP-UX.
- Dynamic path rerouting in the event of a link failure.
- Direct fabric attached server operating system support now includes Solaris™
2.7.
- Support for interconnecting up to four switches together (two switch hops maximum) for
creating larger SANs.
- General 10-km link distance support for switch to switch connections.
- Multiple methods for switch management.
- Hot pluggable power supplies and optional second power supply
- Redundant, hot pluggable cooling fans on both switches.
- Backward compatibility between new Fibre Channel SAN switches and previous Fibre Channel
switches.
|
| |
| Configuration versatility |
- New "Universal Ports" self configure to the type of device connected to them.
They automatically detect a fabric attached device (F port), an FCAL attached device (FL
port), or another StorageWorks Fibre Channel SAN Switch (E port).
- Unique translative addressing allows private loop devices to be addressed by fabric
attached devices.
|
| |
| Hot pluggable, industry-standard GBICs (Gigabit
Interface Converter) |
- Short-wave GBIC supports distances up to 500 meters between server and switch, and
between storage system and switch, using multi-mode fiber optic cable.
- Long-wave GBIC supports distances up to 10 km between switches using single-mode fiber
optic cable.
- New Fibre Channel SAN Switches use the same GBICs and cabling as previous Fibre channel
switches.
|
| |
| QuickLoop FCAL emulation software for
HP-UX |
- New Quickloop FCAL emulation software for HP-UX enables connection of FCAL attached
HP-UX based servers directly to a new Fibre Channel SAN Switch for supporting
heterogeneous server environments on a SAN.
- Configure some ports on a switch as an arbitrated loop for supporting HP-UX and others
as direct non-blocking fabric connected ports for supporting Solaris, Tru64™
UNIX®, OpenVMS™, and Windows® Windows® NT®.
|
| |
| Zoning software enables creations of
multiple "logical" SANs within a switch fabric |
- Zone members only see other members of the zone.
- Devices may belong to more than one zone.
- Zones may be configured dynamically.
|
| |
| Easy switch management |
Administrative functions take place from an
existing LAN-based system or locally in the SAN itself. Supported management methods
include:
- SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).
- Telnet.
- WEB Based Management Tools launched via StorageWorks Command Console.
- Telnet command subset via switch front panel display (Fibre Channel SAN Switch/16 only).
|
| |
| Disaster resilience and Scalability |
- Two switches can be interconnected and separated from each other by up to 10 km.
- Support for multiple connections between switches for higher bandwidth and redundancy.
- Switch fabric automatically determines the most efficient path between server and
storage end points and dynamically reroutes data to an alternate path in the event of
interruption.
