The HP StorageWorks Modular SAN Array 1000 is a 2 Gb Fibre Channel storage system designed for the entry-level to mid-range Storage Area Network (SAN).
The modular design of the MSA1000 allows the user to easily add storage capacity on an as needed basis. 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 StorageWorks 4314 Enclosures.
Besides the single port 2 Gb Fibre Channel I/O module that comes standard, there is an optional 3-port 2 Gb Fibre Channel hub that also fits inside – an ideal low cost solution for simple 2-node clustering. There is also a newly introduced 8-port switch that mounts internally, featuring a low cost per port option that saves rack space.
The MSA1000 provides Ultra3 SCSI connections to the hard drives and uses the HP Universal 1” Ultra2, Ultra3, and/or Ultra320 drives. An alternative firmware version, installed in place of the standard version, now enables support for OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX.
