The P2000 G3 10 Gb E i SCSI brings high-performance host connection with technology generally found only in higher priced arrays. The bandwidth provides in conjunction with server consolidation is highly advantageous in shared storage configurations. Array connection to 10 Gb E switches that are in turn connected to 1 Gb E NICs is commonplace. Directly attached server support requires the server units to have 10 Gb E NICs. The most recent addition is the P2000 G3 i SCSI controller featuring four 1 Gb i SCSI Ethernet ports, double the number of the G2 model. This allows an array that keeps the price of the components, particularly the interconnects, low while markedly increasing the performance capabilities.
