1 Product description

This guide provides information about configuring, monitoring, and maintaining HP IBRIX 9300
Storage Gateways and 9320 Storage.
IMPORTANT:

9300 Storage Gateway

The 9300 Storage Gateway is a flexible, scale-out solution that brings gateway file services to HP
MSA, EVA, P4000, or 3rd-party arrays or SANs. The system provides the following features:
Segmented, scalable file system under a single namespace
NFS, SMB (Server Message Block), FTP, and HTTP support for accessing file system data
Centralized CLI and GUI cluster management
Policy management
Continuous remote replication

9320 Storage System

The 9320 Storage System is a highly available, scale-out storage solution for file data workloads.
The system combines HP IBRIX File Serving Software with HP server and storage hardware to create
an expansible cluster of file serving nodes. The system provides the following features:
Segmented, scalable file system under a single namespace
NFS, SMB, FTP, and HTTP support for accessing file system data
Centralized CLI and GUI cluster management
Policy management
Continuous remote replication
Dual redundant paths to all storage components
Gigabytes-per-second throughput

HP IBRIX software features

HP IBRIX software is a scale-out, network-attached storage solution including a parallel file system
for clusters, an integrated volume manager, high-availability features such as automatic failover
of multiple components, and a centralized management interface. IBRIX software can scale to
thousands of nodes.
Based on a segmented file system architecture, IBRIX software integrates I/O and storage systems
into a single clustered environment that can be shared across multiple applications and managed
from a central Fusion Manager.
