Description MA8000/EMA12000 is a family of fully integrated Fibre Channel storage solutions that supports the new universal drives in the new StorageWorks enclosure architecture. It is the outgrowth of years of StorageWorks experience, successfully delivering quality solutions into applications with mission-critical requirements. MA8000/EMA12000 transitions the RA8000/ESA12000 storage solutions to the new StorageWorks packaging, maintains the support of the HSG80 controller (and associated features) and adds the benefits of universal drive support, higher density of drives per enclosure, flexible configurations and higher capacity per cabinet. MA8000/EMA12000 is designed for the data center where there is a need to configure high-capacity systems with application specific demands for high performance. MA8000/EMA12000 components offer the flexibility to configure solutions to provide unlimited capacity and scalable performance in a small footprint. The solutions include support for multi-vendor operating environments, and stringent data center availability requirements. Configure-To-Order is available for the creation of customized solutions using the modular storage components. For data centers with continuously increasing capacity requirements, the highest performance demands, and ever increasing business continuance needs, MA8000/EMA12000 is the clear choice.
