The HP StorageWorks P9500 Disk Array is based on an OEM of the HDS Virtual Storage Platform.  The P9500 is the high-end enterprise offering from HP that is capable of both mainframe and open system attachment.  Changes over the earlier XP product in this model are internal processors and the Universal Star Network has been replaced by the Hierarchical Star Network. Control processors and other components have been upgraded as well. The marketing theme of scale up, scale-out, scale deep embodies the ability of this platform to scale vertically (greater capacities managed by each virtual domain), horizontally (multiple virtual storage domains), and deeply (more third party arrays with greater capacity virtualized behind the P9500 controller). Previous generation XP software-based features and functionality are supported on the P9500.
