The HP StorageWorks 1000 Modular Smart Array (MSA1000) is a 2 Gb Fibre Channel storage system designed for the entry-level to mid-range Storage Area Network (SAN). Designed to reduce the complexity, expense and risk of SAN deployment, the MSA1000 is a scaleable, high performance storage system built with investment protection in mind. The modular design of the MSA1000 allows the user to easily add storage capacity as needed. With the addition of two HP StorageWorks MSA30 disk enclosures with space for a total of forty-two enterprise-class drives, maximum storage capacity is 12TB. All necessary configuration and management programs are included and there are no unexpected charges for extra licenses as your capacity needs grow or as you attach more servers.
