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. SANs allow 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 MSA2000fc extends the benefits of shared storage resources (e.g. SAN) to first time implementers on a limited budget
The modular design allows the user to start relatively small but supports future growth to hundreds of users and up to 21.6TB
of SAS or 48TB of SATA storage
The optional controller-based snapshot and clone capability of the MSA2000 family allows the smaller departmental user or
company to implement functionality once only available to much larger firms with expensive arrays.
