Product Highlights
Compaq, the leader in Network Storage, delivers the
StorageWorks™ NAS B3000 by Compaq – the entry-point
into NAS/SAN fusion solutions bringing enterprise-level
availability, scalability and performance in a turnk ey
package
•
Entry-point to the fusion of NAS and SAN – Universal
Network Storage – provides the best utilization of
storage investment. Consolidate NAS a nd SAN into a
single, managed storage infrastructure
•
Enterprise level scalability – to 27 TB
•
Highly available solution – including clustering, RAID
ADG, fully integrated software packages, no-singlepoint-of-failure configurations available
•
Turnkey package – configurations include all of th e
components to provide high performance block- and
file-serving
Key Benefits
Maximized Return on Storage Investment
•
Multi-protocol file serving – support for Microsoft
Windows (CIFS), UNIX/Linux (NFS), Novell
NetWare (NCP), Apple (AppleTalk), HTTP and F TP
•
Minimize ongoing operational expenses associated with
file serving
•
Enable client s and applic ations to easily access dat a
over the existing network, while also r educing the cost
of accessing SAN based storage
•
Save money an d resources with centraliz ed storage and
system management
Unlimited Scalability
•
Grow your stor age capacity as your busines s growswithout downtime and without compromising
performance
•
Up to 27 TB capacity scalability, higher capacity can be
reached with external swit ches
•
The B3000 supports both 1 Gb/sec and 2 Gb/sec Fibre
channel fabri cs to ensure that your investment in
infrastruc ture is protect ed.
•
DAS to SAN means file data that is currently stored on
1″ Universal di sk drives using newer Compaq Smart
Array controllers, as well as file data on an RA4100 can
easily be migrated to the B3 000. Simply remove the
drives from the older systems and insert them i nto the
B3000. All configuration information and data will be
preserved allowing migration to be compl eted in
minutes, not hours or days.
Continuous Data Availability
•
Ensure that data is always available enabling business
continuance through:
•
Cluster Configurations
•
Advanced Dat a Guarding
•
Hardware redundancy
•
File replication
•
Backup support
•
Antivirus support

SANworks Virtual Replicator combines a rich set of innovative capabilities that
enhance and simplify storage management. Customers can pool physical
storage and create virtual disks of up to a terabyte each. Virtual disk space can
be allocated as needed, allowing customers to respond quickly to changing
storage capacity requirements. Through virtualization, online volume growth,
snapshot and management features, the software complements the standard
capabilities within the operating system. By utilizing industry-standard server,
storage, and network-interconnect components, an organization's current and
future storage investments are protected.
Secure Path software is included in the base system image. SANworks Secure
Path is a high availability m ulti-pathing softwar e that provides continuous data
access
NAS Data Copy is a host-based data replication package that allows data to be
replicated over TCP/IP in either a synchronous or asynchronous mode. One-toone, one-to-many, many-to-many replication is supported along with failover and
failback capabilities.
Compaq Insight Manager XE leverages the power of the Internet to provide webbased systems management, and plays a key role in Compaq’s strategy to
simplify IT management. Compaq Insight Manager XE reduces systems
management cost, improves operational efficiency and effectiveness, and
minimizes systems downtime.
The Compaq Management Agents
(http://www.compaq.com/products/servers/management/agents.html) form the
foundation for Compaq's Intelligent Manageability strategy. They provide direct,
browser-based access to in-depth instrumentation built into Compaq servers,
workstations, desktops, and portables, and send alerts to Compaq Insight
Manager XE and other management consoles in case of subsystem or
environmental failures. For additional information about the Compaq
Management Agents and other management product from Compaq, please visit

B3000 External Storage Components
With the following components, your storage capacity and performance can be scaled to new levels:
Modular SAN Array 1000
The 4U cabinet houses up to fourteen 1″ Compaq Universal hot pluggable Ultra2 and/or Ultra3 drives.
The modular design of the MSA1000 makes it possible to add redundant controllers, redundant single port Fibre Channel I/O Modules or Fabric Switches
and storage expansion enclosures.
MSA1000 Controller
The MSA1000 Controller is an integrated RAID controller with an integrated LCD/LED status display and 128-MB read/write battery-backed cache
(expandable to 256 MB per controller). Redundant MSA1000 controllers are an option.
Key Features
• Redundant controller support
• Fabric, Private Loop & Public Loop Support
• Auto Negotiated F, FL & L Port Login
• RAID 0, 1, 1+0, 5 and ADG
• 2Gb/1Gb Frequency Agile
• Primary & Secondary Inter-Controller Link (ICL)
• Host based configuration via ACU
• Remote configuration and monitoring via ACU XE (offline and remote) & CIM XE
MSA1000 Controller Management Features
• Selective Storage Presentation: allows multiple hosts to access a single MSA1000 storage system. Host access can be defined all the way down
to a logical volume level.
• Online RAID Level Migration: allows for online post-configuration change to RAID level without destroying data or volume information.
• Online Capacity Expansion: lets you add storage to an operational MSA1000 — reducing expensive server downtime.
• Online Volume Extension: allows for the capacity growth of existing logical volumes.
• Global Online Spare: reduces the risk of data loss by facilitating automatic rebuilds after a drive failure.
Fault Tolerance
Several fault tolerant configurations, which keep data available and servers running while drives are being replaced, are supported including:
• Advanced Data Guarding (RAID ADG): Allocates the equivalence of 2 parity drives across multiple drives and allows simultaneous write
operations.
• Distributed Data Guarding (RAID 5): Allocates parity data across multiple drives and allows simultaneous write operations.
• Drive Mirroring (RAID 1, (1+0 Striped Mirroring)): Allocates half of the drive array to data and the other half to mirrored data, providing two copies
of every file.
Fault Recovery
Minimizes downtime, reconstructs data, and facilitates a quick recovery from drive failure
• On-Line Spares: If a failure occurs, recovery begins with an on-line spare and data is reconstructed automatically. One on-line spare can be
assigned per array and used across multiple arrays. It is also possible to assign different on-line spares across different arrays.
• Array Accelerator: Onboard, battery-backed cache memory protects data in the event of a power failure. In the unlikely event of a controller failure,
the battery-backed cache will save critical user d ata for up to three days.
MSA1000 Fibre Channel I/O Module
The Fibre Channel I/O module provides a 2 Gb/s Fibre Channel connection from the host side into the MSA1000. The MSA1000 Fibre Channel I/O
Module includes one 2 Gb/s, Short Wave, Small Form Factor Pluggable Transceiver (SFP). A second MSA1000 Fibre Channel I/O Module can be
installed for redundancy when a redundant controller is used.
MSA Fabric Switch 6
The MSA1000 Fabric Switch 6 is a six port, 2 Gb/s Fibre Channel Fabric Switch. The MSA1000 Fabric Switch 6 replaces the standard single port Fibre
Channel connection provided by the MSA1000 Fibre Channel I/O Module. There are a total of five external fibre channel ports. Four of the external fibre
channel ports are Small Form Factor Fixed (SFF) short wave transceivers and are not removable. The fifth port requires the installation of a Small Form
Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver. One port is used internally by the MSA1000 controller.
