HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 30 Single Bus or Dual Bus Enclosures

Overview

(formerly known as HP StorageWorks 4400 Enclosure)

The HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 30 Single Bus or Dual Bus Enclosures (hereafter referred to as "MSA30 SB or MSA30 DB") is an Ultra320 SCSI disk drive storage enclosure. These enclosures deliver industry-leading data performance, availability, storage density, and upgradeability to meet customers' demanding and growing storage needs. The drive carrier is designed to support the fastest current Ultra320 hard drives on the same SCSI bus. The ease of upgrading the StorageWorks 4200 or the StorageWorks 4300 Enclosure to the MSA30 proves that HP provides the lowest cost of ownership. The MSA30 SB and DB enclosures support HP Integrity and HP ProLiant servers in addition to HP 9000 and HP Alpha Servers. Proving that technology transitions can proceed smoothly without disrupting critical business environments

The MSA30 OVSM HA kit ships with a 60 day trial license of OpenView Storage Mirroring software. This product also includes two 72GB 15K rpm Ultra320 hard drives. When configured with a ProLiant server, IT administrators can perform tasks such as OS Migration, disaster recovery and server consolidation. Administrators can move file servers to new servers without incurring downtime and while using available bandwidth. This solution allows customers to keep the target and host units in production mode while allowing the migration of data simultaneously. MSA30 OVSM HA kit will allow the administrator to manage bandwidth during the migration process to maximize I/O on critical servers during off-peak hours.
