Compaq StorageWorks RA4100: Deployment and Configuration

Overview Compaq believes Fibre Channel is the best interconnect technology choice for future storage solutions and has developed the RAID Array 4100 (RA4100) Storage System to take advantage of this technology specifically for this market. Fibre Channel provides for highly scalable, high-performance storage solutions for the most demanding applications.

This white paper describes how to:

The RA4100 SAN solution

The features and benefits of the RA4100 SAN solution

The configurations supported in this solution.

A Storage Area Network (SAN) is an environment where multiple host servers have access to a network of storage devices. The SAN is a separate network from the Local Area Network (LAN) that consists only of storage devices. The SAN environment enables storage to be externalized from servers, allowing servers to share storage without impacting system performance on the primary communication network.
