HP P4000 G2 Series iSCSI SAN Solutions
Enterprise Class Features
Award-winning SAN/iQ software is at the heart of every HP/LeftHand
SAN, delivering this comprehensive, fully integrated feature set:
SANiQ Platform
Distributes virtualization
intelligence on storage modules
across your network.
SAN iQ Network RAID Automatically re-stripes all the
data within the cluster,
balancing the data load on each
storage node for optimal
performance and reliability.
Thin Provisioning 2.0 Allows you to create large
virtual storage volumes that
only consume the capacity used
by actual data, leaving no
stranded storage capacity.
Remote IP Copy Utlilize Snapshots to create
an iSCSI DR solution with
asychronous remote
replication.
Virtual Storage Appliane (VSA)
is a VMware Certified Virtual
Appliance and provides complete
SAN management functionality
through the VMware ESX Server.

SAN/iQ aggregates disparate resources into a single, larger storage system. In addition, SAN/iQ provides IT project solutions,
including disaster recovery, business continuance, and data center virtualization. Application solutions including data protection
manager, exchange server, sharepoint server, SQL server, and VMware. Industry solutions for education, government, financial
services, and healthcare industry. As of November 13, 2008, LeftHand Networks Inc. operates as a subsidiary of Hewlett-Packard
Company.
High availability of data is achieved with the HP/LeftHand Networks IP SAN solution. SAN iQ will automate the redundancy; provide
easy upgrades to storage capacity and any addition to the capacity of the storage modules. Expansion of existing storage volumes
does not cause any user disruption or downtime. What separates the LeftHand Networks IP SAN from those offering similar iSCSI
SAN Solutions is, Thin Provisioning 2.0 for SAN/iQ.
Thin Provisioning 2.0 eliminates the pre-allocated storage resources for various volumes and application servers. SAN volumes
are "shrink-wrapped" and the software layer automatically allocates storage as needed. Bottom line...using SAN/IQ and Thin
Provisioning 2.0 will allow more of the available capacity to be used because SAN/iQ with Thin Provisioning uses less "Overhead"
than otehr iSCSI SAN solutions. With a HP/LeftHand iSCSI SAN you can greatly increase your return on investment (ROI) without
taking a performance hit to do so.
You can build your SAN without impacting end-users, by enabling you to schedule instantaneous snapshots of storage volumes
and backup data from the snapshot volume. This way, your users have continuous access to the original volume without affecting
performance. The LeftHand snapshot capability eliminates the backup window, and removes backup traffic from your LAN and
offloads backup processing from application servers.
You can manage a single storage system while resizing volumes, taking snapshots, making remote copies, taking storage nodes
down for upgrades or maintenance, and even scaling the SAN - all without taking the system offline or affecting data availability.
Another feature of our storage nodes is that each storage node incorporates their own controllers. Adding more of them to a
cluster increases performance and redundancy along with the added storage capacity. Your benefit is eliminating the performance
bottlenecks associated with legacy SAN technologies.
Open iSCSI SANs
An iSCSI SAN can be composed of a single cluster of storage nodes or multiple clusters in different locations. Because LeftHand
SANs are open, they can be composed of clusters containing different drive technologies (SAS or SATA) and different physical
hardware platforms (NSM, HP or IBM). You don't get locked into a proprietary architecture. You can also integrate a virtual
storage network, comprised of VMware® ESX servers using LeftHand's Virtual Storage Appliance (VSA). All managed together in
the same SAN from a single pane of glass.
