HP StorageWorks P4000 SAN
A SAN can be defined as an architecture that allows remote storage devices to appear to a server as
though these devices are locally-attached.
In an HP StorageWorks P4000 SAN implementation, data storage is consolidated on a pooled
cluster of storage nodes to enhance availability, resource utilization, and scalability. Volumes are
allocated to XenServer hosts via an Ethernet infrastructure (1 Gb/second or 10 Gb/second) that
utilizes the iSCSI block-based storage protocol.
