The HP StorageWorks 2000 Modular Smart Array family manages growing storage requirements across multiple HP ProLiant,
Integrity, and a selection of PA-RISC servers for customers who need a centralized dedicated storage solution for applications.
SANs allow for controlled, cost-effective growth and increased protection of data.
Its ease of management allows a department or small company to effectively handle growing storage requirements with a
minimum of complexity.
The MSA2000fc extends the benefits of shared storage resources (e.g. SAN) to first time implementers on a limited budget
This new Fibre Channel G2 model introduces support for Integrity servers and the HP-UX and OpenVMS operating systems
The modular design allows the user to start relatively small but supports future growth to hundreds of users and up to 27TB of
LFF SAS or 60TB of LFF SATA storage, or 14.4TB of SFF SAS or 24TB SFF SATA storage.
The optional controller-based snapshot and clone capability of the MSA2000 family allows the smaller departmental user or
company to implement functionality once only available to much larger firms with expensive arrays. The MSA2300fc G2
controller supports up to 255 snaps.
