Overview

The HP StorageWorks 2000fc Modular Smart Array (MSA2000fc) represents the fibre channel model of the MSA2000 family (which includes the MSA2000i iSCSI model and future 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.

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.

Customer BenefitsCustomer Benefits

The HP StorageWorks 2000 Modular Smart Array family manages growing storage requirements across multiple HP ProLiant servers for customers who need a centralized dedicated storage solution for applications. SANs allow for controlled, costeffective growth and increased protection of data. Its ease of management allows a department or small company to effectively handle growing storage requirements with a minimum of complexity. The MSA2000fc extends the benefits of shared storage resources (e.g. SAN) to first time implementers on a limited budget The modular design allows the user to start relatively small but supports future growth to hundreds of users and up to 21.6TB of SAS or 48TB of SATA storage The optional controller-based snapshot and clone capability of the MSA2000 family allows the smaller departmental user or company to implement functionality once only available to much larger firms with expensive arrays.

Two host ports per controller, shipped with SFPs. the MSA2000 controller can run in either point-to-point or FCAL (loop). The default is FCAL which is used in Direct Connect, particularly with two controllers. The PtP (fabric) mode is used with almost all switches.

2U, 12 Large Form Factor drive bays, accommodating SAS and SATA. Comes standard with one or two controllers.

Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) enterprise-class drives designed for high volume, 24x7 usage. Serial-ATA (SATA) are usually reserved for archival of data as they are both relatively inexpensive and are available in very large capacities. The MSA2000 family of arrays can accommodate both SAS and SATA drives within the same enclosure making it ideal to have both business-critical, high activity files on SAS drives while using snapshot or clone capability to keep back-up data on the less expensive drives. SAS drive performance can be approximately 30%greater than SATA performance on sequential host IO. SAS performance excels in sequential lower latency response time and random IO per second transaction performance due to higher rpm disk speeds yielding lower seek times. SAS random performance is greater than 2x SATA.

NOTE:

NOTE: NOTE: MSA2000 family.

Up to 5.4TB SAS or 12TB SATA, expandable to 21.6TB SAS or 48TB SATA with the addition of a maximum of three MSA2000 3.5 inch Drive Enclosures.

The MSA2000 family of arrays supports 256 LUNs and LUN sizes up to 16TB. The arrays support LUN expansion and deletion of any LUN.

In addition to the usual RAID levels, the MSA2000 family features several important additional levels. RAID 6 is the highest level of RAID protection. It allocates two sets of parity data across drives and allows simultaneous write

operations. It can withstand two simultaneous drive failures without downtime or data loss. RAID 10 is mirroring and striping without parity. It is the most popular of the performance in most cases and superior fault tolerance. RAID 50 combines the block striping and parity of RAID 5 with the straight block striping of RAID 0, yielding higher performance than RAID 5 through the addition of RAID 0, particularly during writes.

Performance numbers are a guideline as established by tests in a lab environment. Forty-eight 300GB 15K SAS drives were used in dual controller configurations of four vDisks with 12 physical drives per vDisk. Each vDisk presented a single volume of maximum capacity according to RAID level. Number and type of applications, number of hosts will affect overall performance.

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 For more information visit
