Re: HP storage blade
In order to fit an MSA1000 or an MSA1500 (if you need more than 12tb of storage go with the MSA1500) you will bare minimum need the following:
MSA1000 chassis that has one fibre port on the back
SCSI disks for the MSA1000
on the C7000 enclosure you will need
blade brocade 4/12 switch (or 4/24 if you plan on using more than 10 servers)
a qlogic mezzanine card for each server
and one fibre cable to connect the MSA1000 to the brocade 4/12 switch
If you want redundancy you will need to add another brocade switch, a redundant MSA1000 controller + IO module and another cable.
The performance of MSA1000 is very favorable, able to pull off 150mb/s transfers pretty well. If you boot off of a SAN you will see Windows boot faster than ever before :)

Re: HP storage blade
I see information about new HP StorageWorks All-in-One SB600c Storage Blade on HP site.
Can we expect new generation of SB40C with cascading of shelves and shared options ?
Or SB600c is only new storage option ...?

Re: HP storage blade
The SB600c would appear to be a bundle of a blade server with an SB40c storage blade.
Looking at the Q&A pages here:
http://h18006.www1.hp.com/products/storageworks/sb600c/qa.html
It doesn't appear that there's any way to cascade shelves.
I've heard it rumoured that there are plans to repackage an EVA into a blade package, which will hopefully allow for storage over 1TB. I'm not sure on timescales though.
Cheers,
Rob

Re: HP storage blade
What I think is missing from a really good 'all blade' solution is a full-height tape changer. A single LTO-2 tape drive does not cut it for virtually any scenario where I would look at putting blades in.
In order for me to do a good all-blade solution I need a MSA1000/MSA1500 and a MSL2024 FC. It is a good fit for certain sizes of blade deployments, but is hard to fit in the market segment the C3000 is targeted at.
