The HP StorageWorks P4500 G2 SAS Multi-Site SAN Solution (part number AX697A) is a versatile and robust hard drive array built to provide highly available and resilient storage for enterprise environments. Designed to support both small and large-scale organisations, the P4500 G2 utilises the advantages of a multi-site SAN (Storage Area Network) infrastructure for optimal redundancy and disaster recovery purposes.
This solution is equipped with SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) drives, which offer superior performance compared to traditional parallel SCSI systems. The use of SAS technology ensures higher data throughput and more reliable communication between devices. The system supports scalable performance, allowing for easy expansion as storage needs grow over time. Multiple chassis configurations enable the system to fit seamlessly in different environments, whether used for primary storage or backup purposes.
The multi-site capability of the HP StorageWorks P4500 G2 ensures that storage resources can extend across various locations, providing much-needed failover protection in case of a site failure. The SAN also employs network RAID technology, which distributes data across multiple nodes. In the event of hardware failure, this ensures that data remains accessible without interruption, enhancing uptime in mission-critical environments.
In addition to supporting traditional IT workloads, the P4500 G2 is optimised for applications such as virtualisation—where high availability and redundancy are top priorities. The solution integrates smoothly with leading server virtualisation platforms, ensuring reliable performance for virtualised IT environments. For organisations requiring substantial storage capacity with resilient protection against data-loss events, the HP StorageWorks P4500 G2 is a solid and future-proof choice.
