Overview
    ATTO Celerity Fibre Channel host bus adapters provide HP customers with high-performance workstation connectivity to their MSA enterprise storage systems. ATTO HBAs, with unprecedented levels of performance and throughput, significantly outperform the competition when it comes to moving and storing data. ATTO enables HP-qualified solutions that provide a wide range of connectivity options, maximize the availability of data, and improve application performance in Fibre Channel-based storage environments.
   

    ATTO and HP have teamed to offer a high-end, completely redundant storage solution designed to enhance workflow and increase productivity by keeping content available in real time for multiple users. ATTO Fibre Channel HBAs are the Industry's only HBAs to enable workstations to leverage the built-in redundancy of HP P2000 and 2040 arrays using MultiPath Director. The result is a feature-rich and robust storage system for workstations.
   

    ATTO Celerity Fibre Channel HBAs with Multipath Director allow users to:

• Connect Mac and Windows workstations to feature rich high performance storage – the HP Storage P2000 G3 MSA and MSA 2040
• Increase productivity by creating shared workflows for workstations in a Storage Area Network (SAN)
• Continued access to storage for critical applications
• Efficiently complete projects and meet deadlines with reduced downtime
• Standardize fragmented direct attached storage systems with one shared storage solution that fits all your needs
• Users can take advantage of the MSA's enterprise-class features, like high-availability data storage
• Increased uptime with multiple redundant paths to storage and automatic path failover and failback
• Single point of management and configuration with ATTO's Configuration Tool
• Establish collaborative workflows with multiple user access to shared storage

Our Solution

    Customer’s backup System recently have only Tape Autoloader to storage simple file. So, to response their business in near future, they want to build a SAN system to guarantee all database will be faster, more reliable and flexible.
So, our diagram solution is below:

    In our solution, we use HP SMA 2040 with SAN controller card.
    To connect four Servers to SAN system, we use SAN switch HP 8/8, and to ensure SAN system have high availability, we use two SAN switch.
