1 July 2010 Todd Owens OEM Technical Marketing Manager QLogic Corporation Simplified SAN Deployment and Management Virtual Connect, Simple SAN Connection Manager and the HP StorageWorks H-series Switches

2 July 2010 SAN Management Administration Challenges –Impact to Server, Network and Storage environment Requires cross-discipline coordination among IT resources –Time consuming, utilizing multiple applications toolsets Different tools for each element in the SAN infrastructure; HBA, Switch, Storage –Complexity Multiple steps, more opportunity for configuration errors How can HP help IT staff to simplify deployment and ongoing management and reduce the time it takes to build and grow storage networks?

3 July 2010 Todays SAN Deployment and Management Processes Install servers, HBAs and storage Cable servers, switches, storage Assign LANs/SANs to installed servers Later, when needed Add new storage –Create SAN connection/zoning –Provision Storage on host Create new LUNs –Get SAN connection/create Zoning –Provision Storage on host Add virtual machine –Provision host –Get SAN connection/create Zoning –Get SAN connection –Create LUNs on Storage system –Provision LUN on host system System Administrator Storage Administrator SAN Administrator S S MT T W F Project planning meetings And more meetings Change control approvals Re-cable and move into production inventory 4-6 weeks have passed by Adding to /upgrading environment

4 July 2010 A New Paradigm – HP Simple SAN Connection Manager One meeting to define storage management tasks Add/update? LAN addressing Configuration requirements Use SSCM from a single management console to ; Manage HBA tasks Manage SAN configuration/Zoning Provision Storage LUN creation Partitioning Project planning meetings Single Administrator can Deploy, Manage, Maintain with SSCM inventory SSCMs single pane of glass management of HBA, Switch and Storage resources provides optimal consolidation of the SAN infrastructure and associated management tasks.

5 July 2010 Solution with HP BladeSystem - Traditional approach Barrier to Converged Infrastructure HP BladeSystem C7000 integrated SAN Switch.. SAN Challenge: Increasing available storage with converged infastructure solutions. Justifying Virtual Connect Perception: Virtual Connect delivers unique value, but price is too high. Tactical solution: Take out virtual connect, replace with lower cost SAN. Level the price position – lose the HP value. HP solution now similar to IBM and Dell

6 July 2010 ESS Solution with HP BladeSystem - Traditional approach HP Converged Infrastructure HP BladeSystem C7000 Standard FC Switch integrated SAN Switch BladeSystem with Integrated and external fabric switches Perceived low acquisition costs, but; o licensing costs o application management costs Trunking LTU required for each switch Different applications for managing Adapters, Switches and Storage Is there a better way?
