HP's extensive compatibility testing program assures that your HP StorageWorks MSA1500 works with leading servers, operating
systems, and backup applications - and not just those sold by HP. The MSA1500 works seamlessly in many environments, making
them especially suitable if you have a mixed system environment. For the latest list of servers, workstations, operating systems, and
backup software that supports the MSA1500, check the Modular Smart Array compatibility pages on our web site at:
