HP StorageWorks 2000fc Modular Smart Array

The HP StorageWorks 2000fc Modular Smart Array (MSA2000fc) represents the fibre channel model of the MSA2000 family (which includes the MSA2000i iSCSI model and SAS-connect versions ), a new generation of HP storage arrays specifically designed for entry-level customers and features the very latest in functionality and technology at highly affordable price points.

The MSA2000fc is a 4Gb Fibre Channel connected 2U storage area network (SAN) or direct connect solution designed for small to medium size deployments or remote locations. It comes in three models - a basic single controller model for low initial cost with the ability to upgrade later; a model with dual controllers standard; and a high performance model with dual enhanced controllers for the most demanding entry-level situations. Each model comes standard with twelve drive bays able to simultaneously accommodate 3.5-inch enterprise-class SAS drives and archival-class SATA drives. Additional capacity can easily be added when needed by attaching up to three MSA2000 12 bay drive enclosures. Maximum raw capacity ranges from 5.4TB SAS or 12TB SATA in the base cabinet, to over 21.6TB SAS or 48TB SATA with the addition of the maximum number of drive enclosures. Larger capacity drives are continually in qualification, providing for even greater capacity. It has been fully tested up to 64 hosts. NOTE: There are no additional hidden charges, licenses or fees as you add enclosures or hosts and users.

The MSA2000 offers many distinct features such as the ability to mix SAS and SATA RAID sets (VDisk) within the same enclosure greatly increases the flexibility and economy of assigning mission-critical data and archival data to the proper drive type. The wide variety of RAID levels supported assures the user of just the right level of performance and protection demanded by their application. The capability of implementing controller-based snapshots and clones affordably brings enterprise-class functionality into smaller departments, remote locations, and small but growing companies.

The MSA2000fc is a member of HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array offerings, delivering simple and affordable storage technology to meet today's demanding and growing IT needs. These storage solutions offer excellent price/performance and availability features for direct attach environments, small clusters, workgroups and entry-level SAN environments. Each solution is designed to be easy to deploy, secure, with low management costs, while driving rapid return on investment.

HP StorageWorks Storage Mirroring Software provides host-based, continuous replication for customers seeking a low-cost alternative to fabric or array-based replication. Patented replication and failover technology continuously captures byte-level data changes as they happen and replicates those changes to one or more target servers at any location without geographic limitations. By replicating only the bytes that change, Storage Mirroring Software uses the absolute minimum bandwidth on your existing LAN or WAN to replicate your data. Storage Mirroring also provides server failover where a production server can automatically be ‘replaced’ by the storage mirroring server in the event of failure. Couple Storage Mirroring with MSA2000 Snapshots and/or Volume Copy to achieve an Enterprise class data protection strategy creating different data recovery points using continuous data protection with Storage Mirroring and point-in-time data protection with Snapshots and/or Volume Copy.
Storage Mirroring Software supports:

• Any DAS, NAS, and SAN storage device.
• Any Windows ProLiant server including all ML, DL, and BL platforms
• Many Windows platforms including Windows Server 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Storage Server 2003, Windows Storage Server 2003 R2, 64bit Windows, and Windows on Itanium

HP ProLiant Storage Server gateways:
Add more value to your MSA array

Stretch your MSA2000 array investment by adding file & print services, iSCSI connectivity, and management hosting with a ProLiant Storage Server gateway platform. HP ProLiant Storage Servers are optimized file and print server solutions that are built on industry-standard HP ProLiant servers and come with either Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 or Windows Unified Data Storage Server 2003 operating system pre-installed. Since they're Windows-based, network integration is easy, your tools and data protection applications run right on the box, and management has a familiar look and feel. Like many Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices, they support heterogeneous file serving environments and are pre-configured to install in minutes.
A DL380 G5 x64 SAN Storage Server is a file/iSCSI gateway that adds IP-based services to your Fibre Channel array or SAN. So it not only enhances your MSA investment with file and print services, but it helps you save even more by enabling tiered (Fibre Channel and iSCSI) block access for application servers. All of your important client and server data can be managed, scaled, and protected on a single MSA2000 array.
