The MSA1000 is a scaleable, high performance storage
system built with investment protection in mind. The
modular design of the MSA1000 allows the user to easily
add storage capacity as needed. With the addition
of two HP StorageWorks MSA30 disk enclosures with
space for forty-two enterprise-class drives, maximum
storage capacity grows to 12.6 TB. With additional
host bus adapters, a customer can support up to 9
hosts with access to a single MSA1000 for storage
consolidation. All necessary configuration & management
programs are included and there are no unexpected
charges for extra licenses as your capacity needs
grow or as you attach more servers.
MSA1000 Key Features
- High performance controller(s) built on DAS to SAN {DtS} architecture for
maximum investment protection
- Supports dual active (active/active) controllers with optional second controller
and v7.0 or higher firmware
- 4U rackmount only design combining both the controller and disk shelf
- 2 Gb Fibre Channel host connections
- Support for enterprise class HP Ultra2, Ultra3, and Ultra320 SCSI Universal
1" Drives

up to12.6 TB of storage
The DL380 G4 Packaged Cluster with MSA1000 combines the power and reliability
of the ProLiant DL380 G4 server with the high performance and scalability of
the MSA1000 storage system. In standard configurations, the DL380 G4 Packaged
Cluster with MSA1000 offers the convenience of pre-installed storage and server
components in a single package. The innovative shipping box simply opens and
allows for quick setup while leaving the servers and storage readily accessible
in the Packaged Cluster 8U fixture. Colorful configuration and setup guides
quickly explain the process of connecting storage, networking and power cables.
Once initial setup has been completed, the packaged cluster may be quickly re-packaged
for deployment at another site or facility, or simply removed from the 8U packaged
cluster fixture and installed in an HP rack with the enclosed universal rail
kits.
The MSA1000 combines the array controller shelf and the drive shelf, which
holds up to fourteen 1" universal disk drives in a single 4U rackmount
cabinet. More storage can be easily deployed with the addition of up to two
HP StorageWorks MSA30 disk enclosures with space for forty-two drives giving
maximum storage capacity of 12 TB when using the new 300 GB drives. The packaged
cluster may be used with Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, Novell
and Linux operating systems for standard and clustered configurations. The performance
and scalability of the MSA1000 allows for up to 18 additional ProLiant servers
to be connected providing maximum return on investment and minimal storage management
costs.
HP MSA1000 The 4U cabinet houses up to fourteen Universal hot pluggable Ultra2,
Ultra3, and/or Ultra320 drives. Each MSA1000 includes the following standard
components: (1) MSA1000 Controller, (1) MSA Fibre Channel I/O Module with a
single SFP, dual hot pluggable fans/power supplies and power cables, (2) 3'
VHDCI to VHDCI SCSI cables to connect expansion enclosures, documentation and
a support software CD. The modular design of the MSA1000 makes it possible to
add redundant controllers, redundant single port Fibre Channel I/O Modules,
3-port hub, or embedded fabric switches and storage expansion enclosures. Additional
storage enclosures may be added without power cycling the MSA1000.
