HP StorageWorks MPX 200 Quickspecs

QuickSpecs
Overview
1. Two 10GbE ports (note: in 1GbE blade, these ports are
1GbE)
2. Management ports , serial, 1GbE and USB (future use)
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. The MPX200 supports 1
GbE (iSCSI and FCIP), 10 GbE (iSCSI only), 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. The
MPX200's enterprise-class high-availability design provides dual hot-pluggable power supplies and router blades for no single point
of failure. The MPX200 can be integrated in the same rack with an EVA storage system. Customers can 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 the 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 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.

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-pluggable 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:
