MSA2000 CTRL MOD REDUND 2012I ISCSI ONLY
The HP StorageWorks 2000i Modular Smart Array selection of SAN devices features the very latest in efficient consolidation, functionality and technology at very affordable prices. The ideal customers needing to consolidate their storage include smaller companies with tight budgets and limited IT expertise, or larger companies that have perhaps hundreds of smaller departments and remote locations. The MSA2000i features a 1GB Ethernet (1GbE) iSCSI connected array. It allows customers to grow their storage as demands increase up to 14.4TB SAS or 36TB SATA, supporting up to 16 hosts for iSCSI attach. All models support the optional HP StorageWorks 2000 Modular Smart Array Snapshot Software which offers controller-based snapshot and cloning functionality. Planning for future growth is easy by starting with the basic modular pieces and adding capacity as needs arise. Each model comes standard with twelve drive bays able to simultaneously accommodate 3.5-inch enterprise-class, dual-ported 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 3.6TB SAS or 9TB SATA in the base cabinet, to over 14.4TB SAS or 36TB SATA with the addition of the three drive enclosures. The MSA2000 family of arrays are cost efficient in that there are never additional hidden charges, licenses or fees as you add enclosures or hosts and users.
