High scalability. The system supports configurations of 2 1/2 disk drives in either a single or
dual DKC configuration
Shared processors. In the P9500, the processor and interface cards are separate. This allows
either or both to be configured separately, and allows each processor to share resources
across multiple interface cards.
Load balancing. The P9500 disk array allows workloads to be better balanced across
management processor and breaks the affinity between specific front end and back end ports
with specific processors.
High performance. The system uses shared high performance quad core processors instead
of single core. This significantly increases system total processing speed and distributes
processing across the CHAs and DKAs as needed.
Faster access to system control information through the use of on board memory.
Storage management usability improvements. The new version includes a user friendly, task
based GUI that reduces the number of operations needed to complete a task and includes
wizards to assist users in new or repetitive tasks. This version of Remote Web Console also
includes context sensitive online help.
