How should procurement teams reference this HP StorageWorks MPX200 router?

Procurement teams should reference this unit by its SKU AP773A and its full model name, HP StorageWorks MPX200 10-1GbE Base Multifunction Router. Using both the SKU and the model description helps ensure accurate ordering and alignment with internal hardware standards and documentation.

For what scale of deployment is the HP StorageWorks MPX200 AP773A intended?

The AP773A is listed with a product level of Enterprise, indicating it is intended for larger or more structured environments where a dedicated StorageWorks MPX200 10-1GbE Base Multifunction Router is required for storage routing. This helps position it in enterprise-scale architectures rather than small deployments.

How does the 10-1GbE Base designation relate to planning connectivity?

The model name explicitly includes 10-1GbE Base, which defines the Ethernet baseline associated with this StorageWorks MPX200 Multifunction Router. While exact port counts are not specified here, this designation assists planners in recognizing that the router is built around 10 and 1 Gigabit Ethernet capabilities for storage routing designs.

Is the HP AP773A suitable for use in standardized MPX200 storage architectures?

Yes, the AP773A belongs to the StorageWorks MPX200 family and is defined as a 10-1GbE Base Multifunction Router. This makes it suitable for deployments that standardize on MPX200-based storage routing components, allowing consistent part usage and simplified architectural documentation across environments.
