The HP StorageWorks 2000 Modular Smart Array family manages growing storage requirements across multiple HP ProLiant
servers for customers who need a centralized dedicated storage solution for applications. Shared storage allows for
controlled, cost-effective growth and increased protection of data.
Its ease of management allows a department or small company to effectively handle growing storage requirements with a
minimum of complexity.
The MSA2000sa extends the benefits of shared storage resources to first time implementers on a tight budget
The modular design allows the user to start relatively small but supports future growth to hundreds of users and up to 14.4TB
of SAS or 48TB of SAS storage
The optional controller-based snapshot and clone capability as part of the MSA2000 family allows the smaller departmental
user or company to implement functionality once only available to much larger firms with expensive arrays.
