Agenda
• The need for a converged infrastructure
• How HP IP SANs address today’s virtualization
challenges
•
Storage for the virtual infrastructure
•
High availability and fault tolerant designs
•
Disaster recovery
• HP solution overview
• Summary and next step
IT sprawl has business at
the breaking point
70% captive in operations
and maintenance
• Rigid & aging infrastructure
• Application & information complexity
• Inflexible business processes
Business innovation
throttled to 30%
• Time to revenue
• Cost of lost time, effort, opportunity
• Unpredictable business cycles
Tomorrow’s business will be built on
a converged infrastructure

What is an IP SAN?
–iSCSI block-level storage over an Ethernet network
• Ethernet
links are typically dedicated between application servers and
iSCSI storage devices using the TCP/IP protocol
–IP SAN Advantages:
• Ideal
for virtualized server environments to centralize server boot images
− Help facilitate server workload mobility & improved resiliency
− VMWare ESX 4.0 now supports Storage VMotion
• Cost
effective block-storage solution
− 60% less than Fibre Channel
• Simple
to deploy and manage
− Less need for highly specialized FiberChannel administrators

Problem: Virtualization puts new requirements on
servers, storage, and networking
– Virtual machine sprawl pushes
infrastructure limits:
•
Unpredictable VM growth can cause
erratic storage and networking
capacity constraints
•
SANs may bottleneck performance as
they grow in capacity
– Essential SAN features can be
an additional charge
– Some vendors take a one size
fits all approach to SAN design
