HPE StorageWorks Multi protocol Base 8-port Router

A7437A Overview

Targeted for the enterprise and mid-range customer, the MP router provides multiple routing services to increase the options for storage area networks (SANs). The MP Router provides customers with the ability to implement modular, multi-protocol SAN designs with increased scalability, stability and ROI on storage infrastructure through advanced routing services: FC-FC Subnet Routing Service for SAN island consolidation; FCIP Tunneling Service for SAN extension over distance fully integrated with Continuous Access solutions for EVA and XP product families; iSCSI Gateway Service for sharing Fibre Channel storage with servers on IP network. These services provide new options for connecting SANs and extending SAN benefits over multiple networks, to larger SAN sizes, and across longer distances. The primary advantage of this approach is the ability to interconnect devices between SAN fabrics without merging those fabrics - providing a more secure and flexible storage networking foundation
