MSA1500
The MSA1500 provides scalability and performance at a
reduced cost with a high return on investment, and with the
ability to manage more data with less staffing and increased
computing infrastructure utilization for better overall system
performance.
Key features of the MSA1500:
•Low cost, highest scalability capacity, supports MSA20
& MSA30
•Both SCSI and SATA drive support
•Easy management
MSA1500 Overview
The HP StorageWorks 1500cs Modular Smart Array (MSA1500) is a Fibre Channel storage area
network (SAN) 2U controller shelf that connects to HP StorageWorks Serial ATA (SATA) and/or SCSI
disk enclosures. They provide customers with a flexible low-cost, high capacity storage solution. The
MSA1500cs has been designed as a hardware foundation for future solutions to ensure maximum
investment protection. The MSA1500cs is perfect for those customers looking for less expensive
storage solutions using HP SATA enclosures to store data that doesn't require a high degree of I/O
performance and/or is viewed as non-mission critical to business operations. The MSA1500cs with
up-to-eight attached SATA enclosures can provide the customer with up to 48 TB (96 - 500 GB SATA
disk drives) of native capacity. If the business needs enterprise-class SCSI reliability then attach up-to-
four SCSI enclosures for a native capacity of 16.8 TB (using 56 - 300 GB SCSI disks).
By using existing SCSI drive enclosures, MSA1000 controller technology, and integrating low cost
SATA hard drives and enclosures, the MSA1500cs lowers the total cost of ownership and protects the
customer's hardware investments.

MSA1000
The MSA1000 is a 2 Gb Fibre Channel entry-level to mid-range
SAN storage system scaleable to 12TB. It is designed to reduce
the complexity, expense and risk of deploying high-performance
shared storage.
Key features of the MSA1000:
•Modular design to grow as the needs demand
•Enterprise-class SCSI storage
•Easy migration of existing drives and data
•Supports two MSA30 per MSA1000 box
•Offers highest level of fault tolerance (RAID 6)
MSA1000 Overview
The HP StorageWorks 1000 Modular Smart Array (MSA1000) is a 2 Gb Fibre Channel storage
system for the entry-level to midrange storage area network (SAN). It provides the customer with a
low-cost, scalable, high performance storage consolidation system with investment protection. It is
designed to reduce the complexity and risk of SAN deployments. The powerful but easy to use
management software makes it ideal for departmental and remote location SANs. The ability to easily
move most data, disks, and enclosures currently directly attached to Smart Array controllers (DAS) to
a shared storage environment (SAN) will save the user both money and time. With the addition of
two more drive enclosures, it can control up to 42 drives allowing capacity of twelve terabytes. All
configuration, management and partitioning and licensing software come standard with no extra
charges.
HP's exclusive optional embedded 8-port SAN switch or 3-port hub give cost effective and space
saving methods of creating a SAN environment. In addition it is qualified on any of the external B-
series, M-series and C-series FC switches.
