Overview

HP StorageWorks MPX 200 Multifunction Router
 
 

As mid-range and enterprise businesses grow and deploy physical/virtual servers and storage arrays, the amount of information required to manage, share, and protect continues to grow. The HP StorageWorks MPX200 Multifunction Router extends the Fibre Channel (FC) SAN and HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) investment with integrated multi-protocol support, allowing customers to incorporate iSCSI without requiring separate iSCSI storage arrays or additional management costs. The MPX200 offers simultaneous iSCSI and Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) support or iSCSI and offline data migration support with 10 GbE (iSCSI only), 1 GbE (iSCSI and FCIP) and 8Gb/s FC technology, providing modular multi-protocol SAN designs with increased scalability, stability, ROI and simpler to manage, secure storage solutions for virtualized server environments. MPX 200's enterprise-class high-availability design provides dual hot-plug power supplies and router blades for no single point of failure. MPX200, integrated in same rack, allows customers to connect up to 4 EVA's to a single MPX200, reducing the complexity and cost of iSCSI connectivity to EVA storage arrays. Modular multi-protocol SAN designs using MPX200 increase scalability, stability, and ROI on storage infrastructure.

The MPX200 Multifunction Router enables organizations to integrate low-cost Ethernet connected servers with an EVA storage system by bridging the iSCSI protocol to the Fibre Channel protocol. This capability allows iSCSI servers to leverage shared SAN resources, improving asset utilization and enabling new applications. This integration greatly reduces the cost of connecting servers to centrally managed storage and helps provide a cost-effective solution to introduce utility computing into the enterprise.

An EVA with multi-protocol support also provides network storage at reduced infrastructure costs. Small and medium businesses now have a lower entry point to take advantage of SAN benefits. Large enterprises may also deploy multi-protocol SANs in departments and remote offices.

Key Benefits:

  • Delivering SAN-like benefits over the Ethernet IP network, the HP StorageWorks MPX200 Multifunction Router enables access to block storage across up to 4 EVA storage systems from an Ethernet IP network.
  • Provides customers a flexible and cost effective way to connect stranded servers to existing Fibre Channel storage, increasing return on investment.
  • Enterprise-class high availability design provides dual hot-plug power supplies and router blades for no single point of failure.
  • Modular software and hardware design enables easy upgrades to enable additional protocols or to add more ports.
  • Unmatched performance: 8 Gb/s Fibre Channel, 1 GbE and 10 GbE iSCSI ports deliver best in class performance.
  • Advanced installation and configuration wizards allow set up in less than 25 minutes.
  • Power efficient: typically dissipates 200W for a dual blade configuration.
  • Extend access to FC SANs across Ethernet networks with the virtues of an FC SAN including:
    • Consolidated storage
    • Improved disk utilization
    • Improved IT efficiency
  • FCIP for SAN over WAN: MPX200 now includes Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) functionality enabling customers to do low cost remote data replication over IP networks. Customers can deploy MPX200 to provide iSCSI and FCIP connectivity simultaneously.
  • Data Migration: MPX200 can now enable customers to migrate their data between heterogeneous storage arrays (offline) at a very high performance using a very user friendly data migration GUI.
Key Features
  • Supports four Ethernet and two Fibre Channel ports
  • Increase the flexibility of EVAs by adding integrated iSCSI support
  • Delivers the benefits of SAN storage at a significant discount to FC SAN storage
  • Concurrent FC and IP traffic is managed with high throughput enabling access for 300-600 iSCSI servers and 4096 LUNS per MPX200 chassis
  • Fully integrated EVA and MPX management with Command View EVA

    • Microsoft Windows
    • VMware
    • Linux Red Hat
    • Linux SUSE
    • Apple Mac OS X (via iSCSI Initiator from ATTO Technology)
    • Sun Solaris
  • Supports High Availability Multi-path Options for Linux, Microsoft Windows, Sun Solaris, and VMware

Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP for SAN over WAN connectivity)

  • Supports FCIP for SAN over WAN remote data replication using HP Storage Works Continuous Access EVA software
  • 1GbE FCIP routes. Only 1GbE ports can be configured for FCIP routes, even on a 10GbE blade. (10 GbE FCIP future)
  • Up to 4 FCIP Routes per MPX200 Chassis
    • High Performance FCIP SAN Extension
    • Software Compression to maximize IP link utilization
  • Throttle Bandwidth on FCIP Routes
  • Consolidate iSCSI and SAN Extension capabilities into single chassis
    • Save 50% on cables, SFP's and rack space with only one piece of hardware to manage

For increased uptime, productivity and ROI -HP Care Pack packaged services for Storage

These days, you need to get the most out of your storage investment-you can't afford not to. When you buy HP storage products and solutions, it's also a good time to think about what levels of service and support you may need. To help take the worry out of deploying, designing, maintaining, and managing your environment, we've designed a portfolio of service options that are as: flexible, reliable and scalable as your storage. Unlike storage-only vendors, we take a holistic approach to your entire environment, bridging storage, servers, blades, software and network infrastructures with our HP Care Pack packaged services for Storage.

Protect your business beyond the warranty

When it comes to robustness and reliability, standard warranties on today's computing equipment have matured just as the technologies have matured. Good news on some fronts-but also a source of potential problems and subsequent consequences that come from depending on standard warranties alone. Standard warranty protects against product defects and some causes of downtime- but not the business. By using a standard approach to warranty uplifts, such as HP Care Pack Services, you can reduce downtime risks and be more certain of operational consistency for both mission-critical and standard business computing. Simply put, HP Care Pack Services normalize the warranty of combined products - helping you proactively guard against unplanned downtime.
Extending warranties with HP Care Pack Services For cost-effective upgrading or extending your standard warranty, HP Care Pack Services offer a suite of standard reactive hardware and software support services that are sold separately, or combined as with our Support Plus and Support Plus 24 services. The portfolio also provides a combination of proactive and reactive services, such as Proactive 24 Service and Critical Service. In addition, with HP Proactive Select we offer an innovative approach to service delivery that gives you the flexibility to acquire the specific proactive services you need today, then add services as your needs evolve. HP Proactive Select offers a broad set of technical or per-event type service options - including server, storage, and network, SAN device, and software, environment, installation and education services. Services that you can mix and match depending on your specific requirements, from preliminary planning and equipment delivery to installation, configuration, integration, and testing, through every level of ongoing support. Our HP Care Pack packaged services for Storage assures help when you need it most. And for many products, post-warranty HP Care Pack Services are available when your original warranty has expired.
  HP Care Pack Services recommended for optimal satisfaction of all deployments of your product.

HP Assessment Service for SANs For customers interested in improving availability of their SAN and decreasing potential for unplanned downtime:

The HP Assessment Service for SANs offers customized technical and operational guidance to customers employing HP storage subsystems and the interconnecting storage area network (SAN) infrastructure. In a typical engagement, HP or one of our authorized business partners will perform a detailed discovery using HP's proprietary toolset to gain an understanding of the configuration of your storage devices and SAN topology.

The findings from this process will be compared to HP best practices and industry standards as defined by IT Service Management (ITSM) disciplines. The results of the evaluation will be quickly and efficiently processed into information you can leverage. This information, in the form of a comprehensive HP SAN Assessment report, will be summarized by HP or one of our authorized business partners with recommendations that are intended to improve availability levels and ongoing management of your storage and SAN environment.
