Scalability and Expandability Options
The HP Storageworks P2000 G3 SAN Array (BV913B) is a scalable and expandable storage solution that provides flexible storage options to meet the growing needs of your organization. Here are some key points on scalability and expandability options of this device:
- Disk Expansion: The P2000 G3 SAN Array supports the expansion of disk storage by adding additional disk drives to increase the capacity of the existing arrays. The BV913B model supports up to 12 hard disk drives (HDD) with a total installed capacity of 3.60 TB.
- Storage Expansion: If you need more storage capacity than what the existing array can provide, you can add an additional P2000 G3 SAN Array to the existing environment. The arrays can be interconnected to form a larger storage area network (SAN).
- Host Connectivity Expansion: The P2000 G3 SAN Array supports the connection of multiple hosts to the SAN environment, and the number of hosts can be increased as needed. You can add additional host bus adapters (HBAs) or host ports to increase the number of hosts that can be connected to the array.
- Controller Expansion: The P2000 G3 SAN Array supports the addition of an additional controller for redundancy and to increase performance. This can be done to ensure high availability and reliability of the storage environment.
Energy Efficiency and Power Consumption
The BV913B HP Storageworks P2000 G3 SAN Array is a high-performance storage array that is designed to meet the demands of data-intensive applications and environments. The device is equipped with 12 installed hard disk drives (HDD) that have a total installed capacity of 3.60 TB.
In terms of energy efficiency, the BV913B is designed to be power-efficient. The device has a number of features that help to reduce energy consumption and reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the storage array. For example, the device uses a redundant power supply to ensure high reliability and availability, and also features a power management system that adjusts power usage based on the load on the array.
In terms of power consumption, the BV913B HP Storageworks P2000 G3 SAN Array uses a standard 240W power supply. The actual power consumption of the device will depend on the number of HDDs installed, the type of HDDs used, and the workload on the array. However, in general, the device is designed to be energy-efficient and to consume relatively low levels of power compared to other similar storage arrays.
High-Performance Storage Solution
The HP Storageworks P2000 G3 SAN Array BV913B is a high-performance storage solution that provides fast and reliable storage for businesses and organizations. It comes with 12 installed hard disk drives (HDD) with a total installed capacity of 3.60 terabytes (TB). The P2000 G3 SAN Array uses advanced technologies like the MSA (Modular Smart Array) architecture, which enables it to deliver high performance, scalability, and ease of use for growing data storage requirements.
