HP StorageWorks 70 Modular Smart Array
HP Updated: 2008-02-23Manage your small and midrange business growing storage needs by deploying this low cost, flexible tiered storage system with up to 3.6TB SAS or 3TB SATA storage per enclosure or up to 14.4TB (four enclosures). The modular, scalable design of the MSA70 provides a flexible platform allowing you to buy what is needed today and purchase additional capacity as data storage needs grow, instead of making a large up-front investment. For small businesses, it is a stepping stone to simplify capacity expansion of HP ProLiant or HP Integrity server environments to external storage without having to make the full move to SAN or NAS.
For fast growing small or medium businesses MSA70 can scale to multiple Terabytes, by adding additional drive bays. This enclosure is designed to support the 2.5” hard drive supporting the mixing of SAS and SATA drives in the same enclosure. Configuration and setup is easy with HP Array Configuration Utility (ACU). The 2U storage supports direct attach storage to HP ProLiant and HP Integrity Servers. Enclosures can be cascaded in a 1+1 configuration allowing a maximum of 50 drives in a 4U configuration behind each of the two external ports on the HP Smart Array P800 or the HP Smart Array E500 Controller for a total of 100 drives in 4 enclosures. Behind the single external port on the HP Smart Array P600 Controller or the HP SC44G3 Host Bus Adapter, 1+1 cascading allows a maximum of 50 drives in a 4U configuration.
Add a second I/O Module and transition from single domain to dual domain for higher levels of redundancy and reliability reducing or eliminating single points of failure within your storage network. The addition of the I/O Module with the HP SC44Ge Host Bus Adapter adds support for Multi-Initiator JBOD Clusters. This will support HP-UX and OpenVMS on HP Integrity servers only (no ProLiant support). Support for HP Serviceguard software is on HP-UX with HPUX 11iv2 and 11iv3 only.
What's new
HP StorageWorks Dual Domain I/O Module Option Kit - field upgrade option for dual domain:
* Creates redundant pathways from servers to storage devices to reduce or eliminate single points of failure within the storage network, providing increased levels of high availability with redundant paths from the controller to the drives
* Adds support for Multi-Initiator JBOD Clusters. I/O Module Option with the HP SC44Ge Host Bus Adapter will support HP-UX and OpenVMS on selected HP Integrity Servers only
* Support for HP Serviceguard software on HP-UX with HP-UX 11iv2 and 11iv3 only.
