HP StorageWorks DC SAN Director

The DC SAN Directors are a 8Gb high performance platform that is positioned to service the enterprise class data center requirements for core switching and the virtualized data center environment to deliver an Adaptive Infrastructure

• Simplicity− Multi-protocol functionality with single integrated management

− High Availability with all redundant hot swappable components− High Availability with all redundant hot swappable components

− End-to-end support with HP products and solutions

• Agility− Two form factor SAN Directors for increased flexibility

− Optimize application performance with Adaptive Networking for traffic management

− Future proof for evolving next generation data center requirements

− Seamless integration with B-series and M-series portfolio

• Value− Leading performance, availability and serviceability

− Fibre Channel Routing now included on every FC blade

− Lower TCO with improved power consumption


DC04 SAN DirectorExtending the DC product line in a small form factor

• 8 Slot Horizontal Chassis− 8 Gbps FC

− 4 Port Blades

− 2 Chassis System delivers 384 8Gbps FC ports (plus 64 ICLs)

− Modular Blade Support same as the DC SAN Backbone Director

− No oversubscription (unique in the industry)

384 Ports

192 Ports

− No oversubscription (unique in the industry)

• Highest Availability and Efficiency − Built on proven 99.999% available technology

− Improves energy efficiency by combining higher bandwidthwith lower power consumption

− Highest reliability, most efficient drives lower customer cost

• Broadest Multi-protocol Support − 1/2/4/8/10 Gbps FC and FICON

− Gigabit Ethernet: FCIP

− FCoE Ready

− Protocol choice and integration extends investment, lowers risk


Virtual Fabric/Partitioning• Features

− Virtual Fabric (VF) is an umbrella feature that includes capabilities such as logical switches (aka “partitioning”), logical fabric and device sharing.

− Virtual Fabric will be supported on DC SAN Backbone Director, DC04 SAN Director, 8/80 SAN Switch, and 8/40 San Switch.

− Other 4G and 8G platforms can co-exist with products fully supporting Virtual Fabric, but may only participate in a single VF and cannot be carved up into multiple logical switches.

• Benefits − Separation/Isolation of mainframe and open systems

− Better utilization of ISL and switch ports

− Device sharing with reduced cabling associated with routing

− Tie virtual machines (and OS’s) to logical partitions

• Application based Quality of Service (QoS):

• Ingress Rate limiting

• Traffic Isolation – “Preferred Path”

− Top Talkers (part of Advance Performance Monitoring (APM) license


Adaptive Networking: Quality of Service (QoS)

Customer benefits

• Maximize application performance, infrastructure scalability, and utilization of shared networks

• Critical applications are always give top priority

• All applications are given priority

• Higher priority flows receive more bandwidth

• Assignment via QoS zones

Tape

give top priority

• Very useful for prioritizing array replication over MANs and WANs over less critical traffic

• Automated solution simple to manage

• No man hours required to fine tune prioritization

Disk

High Priority

Medium Priority

Low Priority


Adaptive Networking: Ingress Rate Limiting

Customer benefits

• Prevents congestion of traffic over infrastructure

• Very useful for enterprises offering stepped levels of services and enforcing Service Level Agreements (SLAs)

Allows the ingress bandwidth of a port to be throttled to a rate lower than negotiated with the SAN node.

Adaptive Networking: Traffic Isolation (“Preferred Path”)

Customer benefits

• Enables administrators to define “preferred paths” for certain traffic flows

• Administrators may choose top priority applications to have a preferred path through the Fibre

Traffic Isolation Zones defines paths through a fabric for some or all nodes. Failover allows a non-preferred path to be used if the preferred fails.

Backuppreferred path through the Fibre Channel SAN for improved performance and availability

• Often required to isolate certain applications such as tape or replication to ensure they always enter and exit on the same ISL for flow optimization (fastwrite/tape pipelining)

Top Talkers illustration

Customer benefits

• Tracks the activity and performance of a switch

• Identifies bottlenecks or underperforming switch ports

• Can be used with QoS attributes

Top Talkers tracks the top traffic flows for hosts and targets for a switch port or a switch. Top Talkers can help identify the ports that need certain QoS attributes or it can help determine proportions of the physical topology that need reconfiguration

• Can be used with QoS attributes to improve application performance

• Automated solution easy to manage

• No man hours required to find bottleneck areas or collect historical information

App B

• Local distances

Limits• Does not protect against

− Site disaster− Storage failure− Core infrastructure failure

• A major disaster can mean full restore from tape

− tapes should therefore be stored off-site


Storage ReplicationPurpose• Copy of your data in a remote site• In case of a major disaster on the primary site− no tape restore necessary

− data still available on remote site

− operation can be resumed on remote site

• Long distances through FC Extension technologies and async replication technologies

Limits• Human intervention to resume operation on remote site

• Standby system difficult to maintain

Protection level (Distance)

• Wide variety of interconnect options

• Regional or wide-area protection

• Support local to global Disaster Tolerant solutions

Data Currency(Recovery Point Object)

• Synchronous or asynchronous options available

• Data consistency is always assured

Disaster Tolerant Design Considerations

(Recovery Point Object) • Data consistency is always assured

Performancerequirements

• Asynchronous Continuous Access provides minimum latency across extended distances

• Performance depends on bandwidthto remote data center

Failover time(Recovery Time Object)

• Manual failover to secondary site

• Fully automated failover with geographically dispersed clusters on HP-UX, Solaris, AIX,Linux, Windows


The solutionCluster Extension/Metrocluster combines

with

to build a failover cluster spanning two data centers

• Benefits

the remote replication capabilities of the EVA and XP

the automated failover capabilities of a standard

server cluster

• Benefits− Fully automated application failover even in case of site or storage failure

• No manual intervention• No server reboots, presentation or SAN changes

− Intelligent failover decision based on status checking and user settings• No simple failover script

− Integrated into standard OS cluster solution• No change to how you manage your cluster today

− Host IO limited to local array• Reducing intersite traffic, enabling long distance, low bandwidth setups
