Key Features
Dual controllers (optional) can both be configured to provide fail-over protection. Controllers are configured as active
/passive by default and in this manner support only Windows, Linux and NetWare
Dual ACTIVE controllers (active/active) can also be supported individually in Windows, HP-UX, Linux, and NetWare
environments.
Ability to mix primary (SCSI) and near-online (SATA) storage behind the same SAN controller for easy to install tiered storage
solutions.
RAID 6 with HP's Advanced Data Guarding technology (RAID ADG)) - Highest level of fault tolerance, allocates two sets of
parity data across drives and allows simultaneous write operations, this level of fault tolerance can withstand two simultaneous
drive failures without downtime or data loss.
2 Gb/1 Gb Fibre connection to host - Supports both 1Gb, 2Gb and 4Gb Fibre Channel fabrics to ensure your investment in
1 Gb infrastructure is protected. Also works with the new 4Gb switches and HBAs at 2Gb speed.
High performance controller(s) built on DAS to SAN (DtS) architecture.
Scalable to eight SATA enclosures for a maximum of 64 TB or four SCSI enclosures for 16.8 TB of storage capacity with four
dual channel SCSI I/O modules.
Hot plug expansion and replacement support - Hot plug expansion and replacement of hard drives and redundant controllers,
for simple, fast installation and maintenance. Fans and power supplies are also hot plug replaceable. Dependent on
individual operating systems.
Key solution certified for backup and restore, file retention and compliance, replication, write once read many for disk, media
and broadcasting, medical, clustering and archiving.

Capability of building an enterprise-class SAN with SCSI reliability by attaching up to four MSA30 SCSI-drive enclosures for a
native capacity of 16.8 TB (using 56 - 300 GB SCSI disks)
Low cost, high capacity - For less than $.01 per/MB customers can obtain up to 64 TB
*
of capacity.
Flexibility - Can choose SATA configuration for secondary storage of data, and/or SCSI configuration for primary storage,
mixing of both technologies behind the same controller is supported but
require
separate SCSI I/O modules.
Ability to utilize a tiered storage approach as data values decrease, choosing the right disk technology for your data storage.
Investment Protection - the ability to upgrade from the MSA1000 to the MSA1500 cs. Remove the controllers from the
MSA1000 and place them into the controller bays in the MSA1500 cs and upgrade the firmware. (Requires purchase of one
MSA1500 FC I/O Module per moved controller)
*Maximum available storage capacity depends on the RAID level being implemented, and is based on maximum number of LUNs
(32) and maximum LUN size (2 TB).
