HP StorageWorks XP12000 Disk Array

Industry-leading random and sequential performance is ideal for database, OLTP, Oracle, SAP, and Exchange workloads. Massive boot-once scalability meets capacity, performance, and heterogeneous connectivity needs today and tomorrow-without ever requiring a forklift upgrade. Advanced virtualization technology simplifies the lifecycle management of data in heterogeneous SAN environments by supporting up to 32 Petabytes of external storage - all of which can be managed from one single pane of glass. Flexible secure array partitioning eases management, while array-to-array local and remote data copying enables multi-site disaster tolerance. World-class service and support for IT environments meets the most demanding needs.

In a world where every business decision triggers an IT event, the XP12000 enables an adaptive enterprise--one that can quickly capitalize on and manage change. The breadth and value of the XP12000 capabilities ensure the ability to demand more agility for adapting to real-time business needs. Information is protected and available by uncompromised simplicity through consolidation and management efficiencies.

HP StorageWorks XP12000 Disk Array is ideal for enterprise customers requiring the highest level of scalability, availability, disaster recovery, business continuity solutions, and guaranteed uptime service levels. The level of service provided by the XP12000 could be compared to the level of service from HP NonStop severs or high-end Superdome servers. The XP12000 is an excellent solution for customers with applications that cannot afford any downtime -- where business demands this level of service. The XP12000 also supports the largest number of operating systems and offers very robust solutions. Plus you can manage up to 454 TB in one box with one interface that controls it all.

• The XP12000 provides always-on reliability with no single-point-of-failure and redundant hot-swappable components, including: disk drives, fans, processors, I/O interfaces, power supplies, batteries and control processors.
• This redundancy is further enhanced by the inherent RAID technology, which includes RAID 6 (6D+2P) that allows up to two disk drives of eight to fail and still maintain data availability.
• The XP12000 is also connected to HP's "Storage Technology Center" and is constantly being monitored by HP for any potential issues, so they can be proactively addressed before they can cause a problem.

Continuous availability is a vital requirement for most companies today. The costs associated with system downtime are skyrocketing. The XP12000 enables 24×7 operation in several ways:

• RAID technology and redundant data paths ensure that there is no single point-of-failure, virtually eliminating the likelihood of unplanned shutdown. If one of the two data paths fails, the other path takes over automatically. HP's "Storage Technology Center" is alerted to any problem, and that problem is quickly fixed with a minimum of stress while all data remains accessible.
• The XP12000 offer a painless growth path; it can be upgraded without ever taking the system down, so you can add capacity as required without disrupting business operations. In addition, HP's management software makes it easy to manage several additional arrays from a single console, so your storage capacity can grow without increasing demands on administrative staff.
• Integration with Business Copy XP and Continuous Access XP data replication software; as well as Cluster Extension XP and many 3rd party clustering software utilities enable continuous operation over multiple sites to protect against a local disaster.
• In case you need to restore data after a physical disaster, data-mirroring techniques of HP's Business Copy XP and Continuous Access XP software with full integration within HP OpenView Data Protector backup management software ensures that you can rapidly restore your data and return to normal operation quickly and efficiently.
• Nickel-Hydride batteries maintain system power for up to one minute during power outages allowing for uninterrupted service.
• If the power outage is longer than one minute, data is destaged to disk or battery protected in Cache and Shared Memory for at least 48 hours.

The XP12000 allows you to start with the configuration you need today and scale to the highest usable capacity of any disk array as your needs grow. Scales from 9 disk drives to 1152 disk drives and to over 454 TB of raw storage capacity inside a single array. This scalability permits organizations to accommodate constant growing storage needs without ever having to upgrade the box.

• Online upgrades allow for no interruptions to applications and never require a full-box/forklift upgrade
• 1152 disk drives with 128 drives in the center DKC cabinet and up to 256 drives in each DKU cabinet (4 DKU's max)
• Over 454 TB of internal capacity, 32 PB of external capacity, 256 GB of Cache, and 12 GB of Shared Memory

The XP12000 simplifies the management of heterogeneous SAN environments through its ability to support up to 32 PB of external storage-all configured 'behind' a single XP and managed from one single pane of glass. HP StorageWorks External Storage XP software uses advanced virtualization technology to allow storage administrators to host XP12000 Disk Array LUNs on externally attached disk arrays. Any Fibre Channel port from any CHIP pair installed in any slot can be used to connect to external storage.

Instead of seeing a confusing collection of dissimilar arrays, host systems perceive all the data to be stored inside the XP disk array. In effect, the XP disk array becomes the storage controller for a flexible, multi-tiered collection of storage with a range of cost and performance capabilities. By configuring current or legacy storage systems behind a single XP12000, data can be moved back and forth dynamically across tiers, all of which is invisible to the applications.

The XP12000's virtualization feature also reduces the total cost of storage ownership by:

• Exploiting common storage management across multiple vendors' systems
  
• Easily deploying a dual-vendor policy
  
• Facilitating simpler and lower cost data migrations
  
• Increasing storage utilization
  
• Extending the life of legacy storage

Supported arrays include the HP StorageWorks MSA family of low-cost arrays, the HP EVA disk array family, the HP XP disk array family, and many current and legacy arrays from other storage providers, including EMC, IBM, and HDS.

For a complete/up-to-date list of supported arrays and accompanying firmware versions, please contact your HP representative.

The XP12000 offers industry-leading performance at high capacity points through which customers can achieve outstanding levels of random I/O support for database, OLTP, data warehousing and other I/O intensive applications. The performance of the XP12000 surpasses the XP1024 by 2 to 4 times, as shown in the Family Information table found later in this document.

• Max Sequential Performance = 9.9 GB/s
• Max Random Performance Cache = 2,500,000 IOPS
• Max Random Performance Disk = 120,000 IOPS
• Max Data Bandwidth = 68 GB/s
• Max Control Bandwidth 13 GB/s

The HP StorageWorks XP12000 Disk Array is designed with no single point of component failure. It has full component and function redundancy, providing full fault tolerance for disk array processors, shared memory, cache, control and data connections, power supplies, cooling fans, and batteries. The XP has redundant power supplies with multiple connections to AC power from different sources, using single-phase or three-phase in 50 or 60 Hz.

Client Host Interface Processors (CHIPs) provide connections to host or servers that use the XP12000 for data storage (either directly connected to the servers or through SAN switches). The primary function of a CHIP is to process host commands and signal the ACPs to read or write Cache to or from the disk drives. In addition, CHIPs access and update the cache track directory, monitor data access patterns, and emulate host device types. The CHIPs are configured in pairs for redundancy. The XP12000 can have up to seven pairs of CHIPs.*

CHIP pairs available for use in the XP12000 include:

• 8, 16, and 32 port 2 Gbps auto sensing short-wave and long-wave Fibre Channel**
• 8, 16, and 32 port 4 Gbps auto sensing short-wave and long-wave Fibre Channel**
• 16 port ExSA Channel (ESCON compatible)
• 8 port 2 Gbps auto-sensing FICON in both short-and long-wave versions
• 16 port 2 Gbps auto-sensing FICON in both short-and long-wave versions
• 16 port 4 Gbps auto-sensing FICON in both short-and long-wave versions
• 8 port Gigabit Ethernet iSCSI CHIP pair

*NOTE: Each CHIP pair over 4 that is installed reduces the maximum number of ACP pairs by 1.

**NOTE: The standard optical transceiver (small form-factor pluggable [SFP]) on the Fibre Channel CHIPs is short-wave. Long-wave SFP transceivers can be ordered individually. A single Fibre Channel port can be quickly converted from short-wave to long-wave by swapping a short-wave SFP transceiver for a long-wave SFP transceiver. Both 2Gbps and 4Gbps long-wave transceivers are available.

• The basic Cache Platform Board pair supports up to 16 sets of Cache modules (up to 128 GB).
  
• The optional Additional Cache Board Pair supports up to 16 additional sets of Cache modules (up to an additional 128 GB).
  

These solutions range from

• Consolidation and Virtualization - External Storage XP, XP Tiered Storage Manager, and Disk/Cache Partition XP
• Internal Mirrors, Point-In-Time Copies, and Snapshots - Business Copy XP
• Remote Replication - Continuous Access XP
• Path Management - Auto Path XP (AIX, Solaris), Secure Path XP (HP-UX, Windows, Linux)
• Clustering - Local Cluster Solutions
• Long Distance Clusters - Cluster Extension XP
• Worldwide Clusters - Continental clusters
  

The XP12000 disk array family also provides unique local and remote replication capabilities for the IBM eServer zSeries and for IBM z/OS, z/VM and VSE environments.

A full complement of software tools are available for XP12000 Disk Array management, management integration, and to enable a wide range of High Availability solutions. Please see the “HP StorageWorks XP Disk Array Software Products” QuickSpecs for further information:
