Description

The Compaq StorageWorks Enterprise Storage Array 12000 Fibre Channel (ESA12000 FC) Solution is a

fully integrated Fibre Channel RAID system, providing the performance and connectivity benefits of Fibre

Channel. It is supported on the most popular Intel and UNIX platforms. This is Compaq’s most powerful

storage array product family, a major component of the company’s Enterprise Network Storage

Architecture (ENSA) vision.

Enterprise Storage Array (ESA) building blocks consist of preconfigured cabinets and racks, including

array controllers, power supplies, cooling, and environmental monitors. The product set includes all

necessary components, including optical Fibre Channel hubs and disk devices. ESA12000 solutions are

preconfigured base models, optimized for a specific application workload. Base models can be configured

for high-capacity, general business, or optimal high-performance operation.

The ESA12000 can be configured for the general business demands of transaction-oriented applications,

providing economical high-capacity storage for data mining operations or providing the high bandwidth

required by decision support applications. Additional preconfigured expansion units are available for each

model type for simple integration of additional capacity and performance. Users have the flexibility of

configuring their ESA12000 FC to match their own unique application performance needs.

For customers needing midrange departmental solutions, Compaq offers the StorageWorks RAID Array

8000 Fibre Channel (RA8000 FC) Solution. The RA8000 FC provides the same performance level as the

ESA12000 FC but is packaged in departmental pedestal models and rackable models for use in RETMA or

metric racks. It offers 24-disk base capability and can expand to 48 or 72 disks using expansion cabinets.

Compaq products using Fibre Channel (FC-AL) host interconnect provide benefits in distance, connectivity,

and performance. Standard distance for a Fibre Channel segment is 500 meters, and each FC loop operates

at 100 MB per second speeds. The ESA12000 storage controllers provide two host ports in each controller

for available host bandwidth of 200 MB/s.

The ESA12000 storage controller is Compaq HSG80 running Array Controller Software (ACS) V8.3. The

HSG80 is the latest in a line of StorageWorks controllers. The ACS software is designed to support multiple

platforms providing features including: dual-controller operation, controller failover, mirrored write-back

cache, read-ahead cache, RAID implementation, disk mirroring, and disk partitioning capabilities. In

addition, ACS manages host interconnect and protocol services to provide data for event notification and

status as displayed by the StorageWorks Command Console.

Disk drives are connected to controllers through six UltraSCSI (40 MB/s) channels. Storage controller pairs

can connect up to 72 disks. ESA12000 FC data center cabinets have the capacity for 48 disks using a pair of

24-slot enclosures. Expansion is provided with additional cabinetry or as selected using the ESA12000

building blocks. With 18 GB UltraSCSI wide disks, a single ESA12000 FC subsystem provides disk

capacity from 432 GB to 1.3 TB using ½ to 1½ cabinets of space. Servers can be connected to multiple

ESA12000 FC subsystems for unlimited storage capacity. Space is provided in the new ESA12000 FC

cabinet for the necessary cache batteries, Fibre Channel connectivity options, and UPS options as needed.
