HP StorageWorks 2024 Modular Smart Array 2.5-in Drive Bay Carrier-Grade Chassis
The MSA2000fc G2 is a 4 Gb Fibre Channel connected 2U storage area network
(SAN) or direct connect solution designed for network equipment providers (NEPs) and
communication service providers. Suited for those who need a robust telecom
infrastructure--- they need storage devices to catch videos, photos, text, new services--
-need a place to have the data stored and cached.
The MSA is a high-quality entry-level FC array, ideal for customers with limited
budgets.
The HP MSA2024 Carrier-Grade Chassis (AM337A) is a controller-less chassis
capable of supporting one or two MSA2300fc G2 Fibre Channel controllers (AJ798A)
and has twenty-four Small Form Factor (SFF) drive bays. It comes equipped with two
DC-power power supplies.
When used in conjunction with the Seismic cabinet (AH343A) and specific ProLiant
SFF SAS drives, the solution is NEBS certified. NEBS level-3 certification provides the
assurance that the equipment is safe to operate and sturdy enough to withstand
certain physical (for example, acoustics) and environmental (for example, fire,
earthquakes) conditions.
Maximum capacity is achieved with twenty-four 146 GB drives yielding 3.5 TB in 2U
of rack space. No JBODs or disk enclosures are part of the NEBS certification
This Storage array augments HP's Carrier-Grade portfolio of solutions and will attach
to both the Bladeserver and ProLiant carrier-grade rack mount servers.
