HPE StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 1000 SAN Starter HA Kit disk array

The HP StorageWorks 1000 Modular Smart Array (MSA1000) is a 2 Gb Fibre Channel storage system for the entry-level to midrange storage area network (SAN). It provides the customer with a low-cost, scalable, high performance storage consolidation system with investment protection. It is designed to reduce the complexity and risk of SAN deployments. The powerful but easy to use management software makes it ideal for departmental and remote location SANs. The ability to easily move most data, disks and enclosures currently directly attached to Smart Array controllers (DAS) to a shared storage environment (SAN) will save the user money and time. With the addition of two more drive enclosures, it can control up to 42 enterprise-class U320 SCSI drives allowing capacity of 12 TB. All configuration, management and partitioning and licensing software come standard with no extra charges.
