HP 582935-001 StorageWorks iSCSI Storage Controller

Product Description

The HP 582935-001 is a sophisticated iSCSI storage controller, a key component within HP's StorageWorks portfolio, designed to bring the benefits of network-attached storage to enterprise environments. iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) allows block-level storage access over standard IP networks, effectively extending storage area network (SAN) capabilities without requiring dedicated Fibre Channel infrastructure. This controller card facilitates the connection of servers to storage devices across a network, offering a highly flexible and scalable approach to data management. This controller is engineered to provide high-performance data transfer over Ethernet networks, enabling seamless integration of storage resources. Its design focuses on simplifying storage management by consolidating storage and making it accessible to multiple servers. This approach enhances resource utilization and reduces the complexity often associated with traditional direct-attached storage or dedicated SANs. As an HP StorageWorks product, the 582935-001 embodies reliability and performance expected in enterprise-grade hardware. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including virtualization, database hosting, and high-performance computing, where efficient and scalable storage access is paramount. The adoption of iSCSI technology through this controller offers a cost-effective and adaptable solution for modern data center storage needs.
