iSCSI SR2122 Storage Router: Getting Started Guide

Fibre Channel SAN

A Storage Area Network is a dedicated, centrally managed, secure information infrastructure,
which enables any-to-any interconnection of servers and storage. SANs are built to incorporate
the best of both storage and networking interfaces: fast and efficient communications
optimized for movement of large amounts of data, but with access to a wide range of other
servers and storage devices on the network.

The SR2122 iSCSI Router is supported on any currently supported HP B-Series, C-Series, or
M-Series switch fabric. For the latest HP switch topoligies and fabric rules, please read the
“HP StorageWorks SAN Design Reference Guide” avalable at:
