HP P2000 G3 Modular Smart Array Systems Delivers affordable, high-performing modular SAN arrays offering 8 Gb Fibre Channel, Combo Fibre Channel/iSCSI, 6 Gb SAS, 10GbE or 1 Gb iSCSI connectivity, 64 snapshots standard, and optional Remote Snap (replication) for Fibre Channel and iSCSI models.

· Ease of management featuring browser-based out-of-band access. This allows a department or small company to effectively handle growing storage requirements, with the aid of an intuitive GUI to administer the unit with a minimum of complexity. Ideal for local or remote installations.

· All G3 models come standard with 64 controller-based snapshots and clone capability. The G3 arrays also support an optional 512 snaps.

· Choose either a low-cost single controller array or start with a configured dual controller array model to fit the budget, high availability, and performance needs.

· All models feature a wide variety of drives: enterprise-class SAS, SAS Midline, and archival-class SATA Midline in either P2000 LFF 3.5-inch or HP Storage SFF 2.5-inch drives.

· P2000 G3 models can have a maximum number of P2000 LFF drive enclosures (7), a maximum number of D2700 SFF enclosures (5), or mix both sizes. The array can grow incrementally from a few drives to 178 TB SAS, 576 TB of SAS MDL or 192 TB SATA MDL.

· 2 GB transportable read/write cache per controller. Battery-free cache backup with super capacitors and compact flash

· Vdisks can be spanned across multiple enclosures

· Maximums vary by RAID levels: 2 drive max for RAID level 1; max of 16 drives for RAID levels 0, 3, 5, 6, and 10; max of 32 drives for RAID level 50

· 512 LUNs with LUN sizes greater than 40TB depending on the RAID configuration chosen. The maximum LUN size is 64TB

· Non-disruptive on-line controller code upgrade (requires dual controllers w/ multi-pathing software)

· Upgrade easily with the support of prior generations of G1 and G2 models, regardless of protocol. The HP P2000 G3 FC, FC/iSCSI Combo, SAS, 10GbE or 4-port 1GbE iSCSI controllers support data-in-place upgrades to the older models, thereby protecting the investment in JBODs and drives, and delivering greater performance and functionality.
