HP StorageWorks 1510i Modular Smart Array

The HP StorageWorks 1510i Modular Smart Array is an iSCSI based 2U controller shelf that connects to both enterprise-class SCSI and Serial ATA (SATA) disk enclosures. (HP recommends SCSI drives for intensive heavy I/O requirements while SATA drives should be used in archived, "near on-line" disk-to-disk backup configurations). This combination provides customers with a low cost, high capacity storage solution. This solution has been designed as a hardware foundation for which future solutions can be designed and implemented for investment protection. The MSA1510i with up-to-eight attached SATA enclosures can provide the customer with up to 64 TB (using 750 GB SATA disk drives) of capacity*. If the business requires SCSI reliability, then attach up-to-four SCSI enclosures for a raw capacity of 16.8 TB (using 300 GB SCSI disks).

The MSA1510i provide two 1 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. To attain maximum performance the MSA1510i should be connected only to a 1000base-T network.

By utilizing existing SCSI drive enclosures and MSA1000 controller technology and integrating the use of low cost SATA hard drives and enclosures, the MSA1510i lowers the total cost of ownership and extends the customers hardware investments into the future. With lower cost of ownership, customers can now take advantage of tiered storage capabilities matching up data with appropriate levels of performance, availability and cost of data storage. The result is lower overall cost without giving up the needs of business applications.

The MSA1510i is a member of the HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array family, delivering industry-leading technology to meet today's demanding and growing storage needs. These storage solutions offer the best price performance features for direct attach environments and entry-level and mid-range SAN environments. Each solution is designed to maximize transfer rates, reduce management costs, while driving rapid return on investment.

The MSA1510i can be remotely managed by using management tools such as HP Insight Manager and the HP Storage Management Utility. The MSA1510i is positioned for users looking for flexible, scalable and easy to manage storage solution.

*The MSA1510i should be connected to a 1000baseT network only
**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)

• Low cost, high capacity - For less than $.01 per/MB customers can obtain up to 64 TB of capacity (eight SATA enclosures) using 750 GB SATA disk drives.
• 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 limited to 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.

iSCSI technology - iSCSI technology is a rapidly emerging segment, and the MSA1510i with IP interface will allow users to take advantage of this technology to deploy low cost and easy to manage IP SAN.

Modular Chassis - The modular design of the MSA1510i controller shelf supports up to eight SATA enclosures, 4 single channel SCSI enclosures or 2 dual channel SCSI enclosures. The enclosures are supported on up to 4 dual channel SCSI I/O module.

Scalability - up to 64 TB storage capacity utilizing 750GB SATA hard drives and eight SATA enclosures or up to 16.8 TB storage capacity utilizing 300GB SCSI hard drives and four SCSI enclosures.

RAID 6 with Advanced Data Guarding (ADG) Fault Tolerance - This is the highest level of RAID protection. 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.

DtS Architecture - DtS (Direct Attach to SAN) architecture is an exclusive MSA1000, MSA1500cs and MSA1510i feature that provides a quick and easy way to migrate stored data on SCSI disks protected by most Smart Array controllers to a MSA1000, MSA1500cs or MSA1510i storage system.

Pre-Failure Warranty - Enclosures and hard drives attached to an MSA1510i and monitored under Insight Manager are supported by a Pre-Failure (replacement) Warranty.
NOTE: Pre-Failure Warranty allows for the replacement of designated drives in an HP StorageWorks disk enclosure before they actually fail when using Insight Manger.
NOTE: Some operating systems may not support all of these features.

Configuration and Management Tools - The MSA1510i utilizes a web browser based management and utility software, the HP Storage Management Utility (SMU) is an embedded, web-based application for configuring and managing the MSA1510i. It provides a single interface to configure the storage and iSCSI settings, monitor status, and run diagnostic reports through a standard web-browser. The HP SMU provides both an initial setup wizard to simplify configuration and an advanced interface which provides access to all aspects of the system

Hot Plug Expansion and Replacement Support - The MSA1510i supports hot plug expansion and replacement of redundant controllers, fans, power supplies, and I/O modules for simple, fast installation and maintenance.
