Overview

As an entry-level high-end array, the HP StorageWorks XP10000 Disk Array delivers “always-on” availability for mission-critical IT environments. Boot-once scalability and heterogeneous connectivity in a compact footprint increases business agility and decreases the stress of running applications where downtime is not an option. The XP10000 is designed for organizations that demand the most from their storage. No single point of failure and non-disruptive online upgrades ensure that data is always available.

Outstanding random and sequential performance is ideal for database, OLTP, Oracle, SAP, and Exchange workloads. 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 16 Petabytes of external storage—all of which can be managed from one single pane of glass. Flexible secure array partitioning eases provisioning, 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 XP10000 enables an adaptive enterprise--one that can quickly capitalize on and manage change. The breadth and value of the XP10000 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.

What's new

  • 400 GB FC 10K rpm 4 Gb/sec disk drives - The XP10000 disk array now support a higher capacity Fibre Channel (FC) disk drive. This drive increases the capacity internal to the array for tier 1 needs.

Features & Benefits

  • Reliability: The XP10000 provides extreme reliability with no single point of failure and redundant hot swappable components. Non-disruptive online upgrades ensure that data is always available.
  • Availability: All XP10000 components are redundant and hot swappable to provide extreme reliability and availability, including: disk drives, processors, I/O interfaces, power supplies, batteries, fans, and control processors. Array-to-array local and remote data copying enables multi-site disaster tolerance.
  • Performance: The XP10000 uses an advanced crossbar fault tolerant architecture resulting in outstanding levels of random and sequential I/O operations for database, OLTP, Oracle, SAP, and Exchange workloads.
  • Value: The XP10000 offers excellent price/performance ratio, increased productivity via higher throughput speeds and zero downtime, compact footprint to conserve floor space, and easy management.
  • Heterogeneous: The XP10000 supports multiple operating systems, including HP-UX, Windows, Linux, Mainframe, Tru64, OpenVMS, NonStop, Solaris, AIX, NetWare, and IRIX.
  • Open Connectivity: The XP10000 supports Fibre Channel, FICON, ESCON, and iSCSI connectivity.
  • Flexible: The XP10000 supports a mixture of disk drives configured as RAID 1 (2D+2D, 4D+4D), RAID 5 (3D+1P, 7D+1P, 14D+2P, 28D+4P), and RAID 6 (6D + 2P).
  • Virtualization: Multiple arrays and hundreds of terabytes can be managed from a single station by existing staff, with no additional resources. No internal disks are required in the XP10000 in order to manage externally connected storage arrays.
  • Scalable: The XP10000 scales from 0 to 240 disk drives for over 95TB of internal capacity, to 16PB of external capacity, 64GB of cache--all while online with no interruptions to applications and without requiring a forklift upgrade.
