As mid-range and enterprise businesses grow and deploy physical/virtual servers and storage arrays, the amount of information
required to manage, share, and protect continues to grow. The HP StorageWorks MPX200 Multifunction Router extends the Fibre
Channel (FC) SAN and HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) investment with integrated multi-protocol support, allowing
customers to incorporate iSCSI without requiring separate iSCSI storage arrays or additional management costs. The MPX200 offers
simultaneous iSCSI and Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) support or iSCSI and offline data migration support. The MPX200 supports 1
GbE (iSCSI and FCIP), 10 GbE (iSCSI only), and 8Gb/s FC technology, providing modular multi-protocol SAN designs with
increased scalability, stability, ROI and simpler to manage, secure storage solutions for virtualized server environments. The
MPX200's enterprise-class high-availability design provides dual hot-pluggable power supplies and router blades for no single point
of failure. The MPX200 can be integrated in the same rack with an EVA storage system. Customers can connect up to 4 EVA's to a
single MPX200, reducing the complexity and cost of iSCSI connectivity to EVA storage arrays. Modular multi-protocol SAN designs
using the MPX200 increase scalability, stability, and ROI on storage infrastructure.
The MPX200 Multifunction Router enables organizations to integrate low-cost Ethernet connected servers with an EVA storage system
by bridging the iSCSI protocol to the Fibre Channel protocol. This capability allows iSCSI servers to leverage shared SAN resources,
improving asset utilization and enabling new applications. This integration greatly reduces the cost of connecting servers to centrally
managed storage and helps provide a cost-effective solution to introduce utility computing into the enterprise.
An EVA with multi-protocol support provides network storage at reduced infrastructure costs. Small and medium businesses now
have a lower entry point to take advantage of SAN benefits. Large enterprises may also deploy multi-protocol SANs in departments
and remote offices.

These days, you need to get the most out of your storage investment-you can't afford not to. When you
buy HP storage products and solutions, it's also a good time to think about what levels of service and
support you may need. To help take the worry out of deploying, designing, maintaining, and managing
your environment, we've designed a portfolio of service options that are as: flexible, reliable and scalable
as your storage. Unlike storage-only vendors, we take a holistic approach to your entire environment,
bridging storage, servers, blades, software and network infrastructures with our HP Care Pack packaged
services for Storage.

When it comes to robustness and reliability, standard warranties on today's computing equipment have
matured just as the technologies have matured. Good news on some fronts-but also a source of
potential problems and subsequent consequences that come from depending on standard warranties
alone. Standard warranty protects against product defects and some causes of downtime- but not the
business. By using a standard approach to warranty uplifts, such as HP Care Pack Services, you can
reduce downtime risks and be more certain of operational consistency for both mission-critical and
standard business computing. Simply put, HP Care Pack Services normalize the warranty of combined
products - helping you proactively guard against unplanned downtime.

For customers interested in improving availability of their SAN and
decreasing potential for unplanned downtime:
The HP Assessment Service for SANs offers customized technical and
operational guidance to customers employing HP storage subsystems and
the interconnecting storage area network (SAN) infrastructure. In a typical
engagement, HP or one of our authorized business partners will perform a
detailed discovery using HP's proprietary toolset to gain an understanding of
the configuration of your storage devices and SAN topology.
The findings from this process will be compared to HP best practices and
industry standards as defined by IT Service Management (ITSM) disciplines.
The results of the evaluation will be quickly and efficiently processed into
information you can leverage. This information, in the form of a
comprehensive HP SAN Assessment report, will be summarized by HP or one
of our authorized business partners with recommendations that are intended
to improve availability levels and ongoing management of your storage and
SAN environment.

Capacity-based licenses
Capacity-based licenses allow you to migrate data up to a specific limit designated by the applied
license key. This type of license is available in variants of 1 TB and 5 TB capacities, which can be
consumed by one or more migration jobs that you specify. Every time you configure a data migration
job, the available capacity is reduced by an amount equivalent to the size of the source LUN being
migrated. The MPX200 does not allow you to add migration jobs when the job size exceeds available
migration licenses.
