HP’s FCoE Strategy

– Networks using HP’s BladeSystem Virtual Connect FlexFabric Module can provide immediate benefits of I/O consolidation with the ultimate in deployment simplicity and flexibility

– Networks using HP’s A5820 FCoE solution can offer unprecedented modular resiliency and flexible service delivery in a fixed form factor at a disruptive price point

– HP partners with top OEM companies to ensure open compatibility and choice

33 QLogic Corporation

– Non-proprietary solutions must be flexible and provide long term investment protection

– Convergence at the server edge (I/O consolidation) is the most difficult…but also provides the biggest ROI

Page 37: New Converged Infrastructure Story fev 2011.pptx

SMB Customers

Customer Pain Points

Ability to grow due to lack of robust IT infrastructure

• Competitors using IT to be more nimble and responsive

• Difficult to share information across teams; email is the default data transport

• Existing systems are slow and inefficient

Little or no IT expertise

Concern about deploying a SAN

• Like the idea of centralizing storage & networking information

• Afraid SANs are too expensive and too complex

Mid-size customers SolutionRapid growth driving demand for more storage

• Adding new departments or acquiring companies

• Email and web applications

Limited IT resources

• “Our IT team doesn’t need a bunch of new applications to learn and manage.”

Concern about creating complexity by deploying another SAN

• New applications driving need for more compute and storage power, but existing infrastructure has limited growth capability

• Too many pieces and parts to order and setup

Why multi-protocol important for EVA

October 2010

40

• Low cost per server connectivity ($37/- MSRP)• Storage Consolidation in Data Center using 10-1GbE iSCSI

• Common Storage Management Software tools provided by FC storage arrays now can be used to manage storage for both FC & iSCSI Servers : Storage Provisioning, Snapshots, Distance Replication, Thin Provisioning

• Very low cost storage consolidation for 1,024 Virtual Machines using iSCSI SW initiators and mpx200

• Consistent Compliance policies between FC & iSCSI• Faster Backups – 8 Gb FC SAN vs. 1GbE IP networks• Storage consolidation for Branch offices

• Removing need for managing Data Backup in every Branch office
