HPE MPX200 Multifunction Router 1GbE Base

Overview
IT environments and businesses grow and deploy physical/virtual servers and arrays, the amount of information required to manage, share, and protect keeps growing. MPX200 provides all in one solution for multiprotocol network connectivity (FC, iSCSI, 1GbE, 10GbE, FCoE), IP gateway (FCIP) support for SAN/WAN and remote replication and simplified heterogeneous local and remote DM. The MPX200 delivers high performance data migration across heterogeneous storage arrays (3PAR 10000, XP, P9000, P6000/EVA, and more) and helps migrate from normal to thin provisioned storage. MPX200 extends HP P6000/EVA, XP and P9000 investments by adding multi-protocol connectivity without requiring separate arrays or added management costs. The MPX200 enables multi-protocol SAN designs with increased scalability, ROI and simplified SAN solutions for virtualized server environments. The MPX200's design provides dual hot-pluggable power supplies and router blades for no single point of failure.

Features
SAN Based Unified Block Storage and Converged Infrastructure (FCoE)

• MPX200 allows easy deployment of VM by supporting 300-600 iSCSI initiator connections to P6000/EVA, XP24000/20000 and P10000/3PAR. Each VM can secure and manage its own LUNs; therefore existing storage management software and policies can be seamlessly maintained throughout the VM deployment.


Enterprise Class High Availability

• The MPX200 enterprise-class availability design is economical and provides dual hot-plug power supplies and router blades for no single point of failure requirements.


Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) for SAN over WAN Support

• MPX200 provides FCIP functionality enabling customers to connect local and remote SAN's with low cost remote data replication over IP networks using HP Continuous Access P9000/XP and P6000/EVA and P10000/3PAR Remote Copy Software.


High Performance and Simplified Heterogeneous Local and Remote Data Migration

• MPX200 acts like a data migration appliance to help customers migrate their data at a very high speed between heterogeneous storage arrays using a user friendly data migration GUI, supports P6000/EVA, P9000/XP, P10000/3PAR, P4000 and a number of third party storage systems.
