| MSA1000 Highlights |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
| High Levels of Performance, | • | Performance – The msa1000 and its components have been designed using the latest industry standard 2 | |
| Scalability, and Functionality |
| Gb interconnects and Fibre Channel technology. Performance tests indicate a data transmission rate of | |
|
|
| over 30, 000 IOPS and bandwidth of up to 200 MB per second. (Single msa1000 Controller) | |
|
| • | Modular Chassis – The modular design of the msa1000 cabinet supports up to fourteen 1” Universal hard | |
|
|
| drives, redundant controllers, 2 Gb embedded fabric switches or hubs, fans and power supplies in a 4U | |
|
|
| rackmount cabinet. | |
|
| • | Scalability – The msa1000 is easily expanded. The msa1000 cabinet scales to 2.0 TB, using fourteen, 146 | |
|
|
| GB, 1” HP Universal hard drives. By simply adding additional StorageWorks 4200/4300 Enclosures (two | |
|
|
| enclosures max), the msa1000 scales to 6.0 TB, using | |
|
|
| within 10U of rack space. | |
|
| • | msa Hub 2/3 – The optional msa Hub 2/3, to be installed within the msa1000, offers 2 Gb performance. With | |
|
|
| two ports accessible by the user, the msa hub 2/3 is the ideal interconnect for | |
|
|
| simple attaching two servers. A second msa hub 2/3 can be installed for redundancy. This hub ships with | |
|
|
| two SFPs included. | |
|
| • | msa SAN switch 2/8 – The optional msa SAN switch 2/8 can also be installed within the msa1000. With | |
|
|
| seven ports accessible by the user, the msa SAN switch 2/8 is the ideal interconnect for cost effective | |
|
|
| multiple clusters or nodes or connection to other hp SAN switches from the hp interconnect family of | |
|
|
| switches. A second msa SAN switch 2/8 can be installed for redundancy. This switch ships with four SFPs | |
|
|
| included. | |
|
| • | Hot Plug Expansion and Replacement Support – The msa1000 supports hot plug expansion and | |
|
|
| replacement of hard drives, redundant controllers, fabric switches or hubs for simple, fast installation and | |
|
|
| maintenance. Fans and power supplies are also hot plug replaceable. | |
|
| • | Advanced Data Guarding (RAID ADG) Fault Tolerance – This is the highest level of fault tolerance. It | |
|
|
| 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. | |
Low Total Cost of Ownership The modular and scalable design of the msa1000 provides an extremely flexibly platform. You can buy what you need today and purchase additional capacity and performance as your data storage needs grow, instead of making a large
•Fabric Support for 1 Gb and 2 Gb Infrastructure – The msa1000 supports both 1 Gb and 2 Gb Fibre Channel fabrics to ensure that your investment in 1 Gb infrastructure is protected.
•Optional embedded interconnects – The msa SAN switch 2/8 or the msa hub 2/3 require no rack space as they are installed in the msa1000’s chassis. This not only saves valuable rack space (up to 2U saved) but also eliminates some of the cabling needed with external interconnects.
•Universal Hard Drive – Since the msa1000 supports HP Universal 1” Ultra2, Ultra3 and Ultra320 drives, cost is minimized as you add new drives
Configuration | • | Command Line Interface (CLI) – A connection between a standard ANSI |
|
| terminal or terminal emulator and the msa1000 is required to use the |
|
| command line interface (CLI) to configure and manage the msa1000. A |
|
| custom serial cable, part number |
|
| connection and ships with the MSA1000. CLI commands are documented |
|
| in the HP StorageWorks Modular SAN Array 1000 User Guide. |
| • | Management − msa1000 events are logged in the OpenVMS or Tru64 |
|
| UNIX error log and can be monitored with HP Analyze or other error log |
|
| analysis tools. |
