The HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array P2000 G3 10GbE iSCSI MSA Dual Controller LFF Array, part number AW596AR, is a reliable and scalable storage solution designed to meet the needs of small to medium-sized businesses. This model supports both high-performance applications and data storage consolidation, with the integration of dual controllers offering enhanced redundancy to maximise uptime and ensure continuous data availability.
It features 10GbE iSCSI connectivity which delivers high-speed access for your network-attached storage. The G3 version allows for multiple high-bandwidth connections, providing quick and efficient data transmission. Furthermore, this MSA array is built as a Large Form Factor (LFF) system, meaning it can accommodate high-capacity 3.5-inch drives, allowing you to store more data without taking up excessive rack space in your datacenter environment.
Key to its design is the modular architecture, which lets users adapt capacity and performance levels as business demands grow or change. The HP P2000 G3 array supports multiple RAID levels, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, or 50, providing flexibility when it comes to balancing data protection and performance. The dual controller system ensures that if one controller fails, the other continues to operate, reducing downtime.
This Smart Array solution allows up to 96 drives to be connected through expansion options, making it ideal for long-term scalability. It is well-suited for both SAN environments needing high-performance connectivity and general-purpose applications where large-scale data collection and redundancy are key.
