When consolidating storage from multiple
servers (clustered or non-clustered), a SAN
solution based on the MSA1000 offers the
best efficiency, flexibility and scalability. Here
we see a non-redundant configuration that’s
perfect for cost-sensitive customers, although
full redundancy can be achieved simply by
adding a second controller, switch and HBA.
In addition, multiple clusters are also possible.
This scenario also shows servers which are
usually not connected to a SAN.
