Key Features and Benefits
Today's performance at yesterday's prices: High performance at affordable pricing - The future is within your reach today with state-of-the-art 8 Gbps Fibre Channel technology offering the bandwidth today that you will need for support of emerging technologies. 8 Gbps speed extends the useful life of your purchase. Migrate at your own pace. Enterprise-class functionality - Powerful features such as Adaptive Trunking (optimizes fabric speed), drag-and-drop zoning, I/O StreamGuard (uninterrupted dataflow), automatic firmware notifications and downloads and non-disruptive upgrades give you the winning edge and help you get the most out of your SAN. Integrated end-to-end management - No need to master separate interfaces to control HP switches, HBAs and storage. Configure and monitor them all from a convenient unified dashboard. Simplicity at its finest: Ease of deployment - Setting up your first SAN is now fast, easy and fool-proof. Eliminate the risk of expensive configuration errors with point-and-click wizards. Ensure full optimization and "best practices" with minimal training and expertise. Application-based wizards - Application-based wizard enables your SAN to be quickly and easily provisioned based on published best practices. Included is a Microsoft Exchange wizard sized for a variety of typical configurations as well as a custom template to create your own for fast deployment of other applications. Aggressively priced bundle - Ordering and deploying your first SAN couldn't be any easier or a better value. The 8Gb Simple SAN Connection Kit includes everything required for a 4-host SAN infrastructure, including 8Gb HBAs, cables and SFPs--just add your choice of HP storage! Built with the future in mind: Scalability - Start with an 8-port switch and as your needs change, simply expand via four-port license keys up to 20 ports per chassis. Then link additional switches to create a larger high-performance enterprise SAN of any topology. Investment protection - Although the 8Gb Simple SAN Connection portfolio delivers 8 Gbps performance capabilities and a cross-platform GUI, it is priced competitively with 4 Gbps switches. On a "Cost per throughput" basis, its aggregate platform bandwidth of 340 Gbps makes it the price/performance leader in the market. Long term value - Whether your needs involve email/database scalability, server/storage consolidation or automated backup/disaster recovery, an HP 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch can provide accelerated ROI for your company.

Optional Software

Reference URL: www.hp.com/go/EFMS HP StorageWorks Enterprise Fabric Performance Monitoring provides easy-to-configure/easy-to-use graphs for monitoring the Management Suite (EFMS) performance of your Fibre Channel SAN. Troubleshoot fabric problems and indentify performance bottlenecks before they become an issue. Historical performance data can be exported to spreadsheets or databases for analysis. Extended Credit Wizard steps the user through a simple and easy to use interface, allowing the user to quickly configure ports to support situations when long distance communication is required. Fabric Tracker allows the user to view two saved configurations and compare the differences. Periodically take a snap-shot of the fabric configuration to see what has changed from yesterday, a week ago, a month ago, or from the day of installation. DA - 12909 Worldwide Version 9 September 27, 2010 Page 6

Fabric Monitoring enables the user to configure thresholds and alarms per switch port to alert operations when unexpected error rates, traffic levels, or anomalies occur in the fabric. Enterprise Fabric Management Suite can be configured to send alerts, through SNMP for full integration into existing enterprise monitoring applications. Auto Filtering takes the time and labor out of finding useful switch and port statistics- health, operation, and environmental statistics are a mouse click away. Filter switch data using buttons that group data into logical sets. Quickly find critical switch information such as power, cooling, health and the associated IP network status. Fabric Zoning provides simple drag and drop zoning with fast and easy activation. Unmatched flexibility with support of multiple zoning types: Port WWN Zoning, Node WWN Zoning, FCID Zoning, Hard Zoning, Soft Zoning. Device Management is a mouse click away through the topology view. Configure IP network properties, upgrade firmware, view and modify switch properties easily. Setup and configuration of devices in the fabric is made simple and fast. Configuration and Zoning Wizards makes a switch that is already easy to configure and zone even easier. Prompts guide the user through screens to quickly configure and zone a switch. Switch and Fabric Event Monitoring along with Alerting provide the user with views of monitored events and alerts that can also be configured and sent to management applications through SNMP. mPort Technology provides users with the flexibility to decide which licensed ports are active (SN6000 or 8/20q with less than 20 enabled device ports). De-activate one to four of the highspeed stacking ports of the SN6000 and enable the equivalent number of device ports. The administrator decides which ports are active based on their fabric needs. Robust On-Line Help features provide step by step instructions through an embedded Help function. Fibre Channel Fabric Ping is an essential tool for troubleshooting fabric problems. FC Ping verifies that a functional path exists between two ports and provides round trip information. Administrators can determine which ports and devices are responding - allowing the administrator to quickly identify issues. Fibre Channel Trace Route provides insight about the fabric and assists with troubleshooting congestion. FC Trace Route traces the route through the Fibre Channel network and displays path information between a source and destination device in order to determine the path of communication between the two devices. Knowing this aids the administrator in making decisions about fabric performance and problem resolution. FC Ping used in conjunction with FC Trace Route gives the administrator a powerful tool to pinpoint fabric connectivity problems and diagnose performance issues. Digital Diagnostics Monitoring provides SFP and XPAK transceiver data and health status that SAN administrators depend on. Increase uptime of the SAN by proactively monitoring the vitals of transceivers. Set policies and trigger alarms based on power, temperature, voltage and current of the transceiver. Predict potential failures or isolate existing problems in the fabric with this simple, yet powerful, tool.

HP Care Pack Services

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.
