HP 1500 cs - Manual (Page 5)

Product Technology Product Technology Product Technology Product Technology Modular Chassis Modular Chassis Modular Chassis Modular Chassis - The modular design of the MSA1500 controller shelf supports up to eight SATA
enclosures on 4 dual channel SCSI I/O cards, or 4 single channel SCSI enclosures, redundant
controllers, 2 Gb Fibre Channel I/O modules, fans and power supplies.
Scalability Scalability Scalability Scalability - up to 16.8 TB storage capacity utilizing 56 SCSI hard drives and four MSA30 SCSI
enclosures or up to 24 TB storage capacity utilizing 96 SATA hard drives and eight MSA20 SATA
enclosures.
Performance Performance Performance Performance - The MSA1500 cs and its components have been designed using the latest in standard 2
Gb interconnects and Fibre Channel technology. Performance tests indicate a transmission rate of up to
30,000 IOPs and bandwidth of up to 200 MB per second.
Fault Tolerance Fault Tolerance Fault Tolerance Fault Tolerance - RAID 6 with HP's Advanced Data Guarding technology (RAID ADG). This is the highest
level of fault tolerance. It allocates two sets of parity data across drives and allows simultaneous write
operations. This level of fault tolerance can withstand two simultaneous drive failures without downtime
or data loss.
DtS Architecture DtS Architecture DtS Architecture DtS Architecture - DtS (Direct Attach to SAN) architecture is an exclusive MSA1000 and MSA1500 cs
feature that provides a quick and easy way to migrate stored data on SCSI disks protected by most Smart
Array controllers to a MSA1000 or MSA1500 cs storage system.
Pre-Failure Warranty Pre-Failure Warranty Pre-Failure Warranty Pre-Failure Warranty - Enclosures and hard drives attached to an MSA1500 cs and monitored under
Insight Manager are supported by a Pre-Failure (replacement) Warranty.
NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: Pre-Failure Warranty allows for the replacement of designated SCSI drives in an HP
StorageWorks disk enclosure before they actually fail when using Insight Manger.
NOTE:
NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: Some operating systems may not support all of these features.
Integrated Configuration and Management Tools - The MSA1500 cs utilizes a standard, integrated set of
management and utility software. These tools consistently lower the cost of ownership by reducing
training and technical expertise necessary to install and maintain the MSA1500 cs.
Hot Plug Expansion and Replacement Support Hot Plug Expansion and Replacement Support Hot Plug Expansion and Replacement Support Hot Plug Expansion and Replacement Support - The MSA1500 cs supports hot plug expansion and
replacement of redundant controllers, fans, power supplies, Serial ATA and SCSI disk enclosures, and
I/O cards for simple, fast installation and maintenance.
