The HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 60 (part number: AG910A) is a highly scalable, external storage solution designed for growing data environments. The array supports up to 60 hard drives, providing a significant amount of storage in a relatively small footprint. It fits into a 4U rack-mountable chassis, making it suitable for data centres and other environments where space conservation is critical. This solution is ideal for businesses requiring high capacity and reliability for their applications like databases, virtualised environments, and content archiving.
The MSA 60 is compatible with SAS and SATA drives, offering flexibility in choosing between higher performance or cost-effective options depending on your storage needs. Its modular design allows easy scalability; additional enclosures can be added using the MSA controllers, improving both capacity and performance over time. The array supports various RAID levels, including RAID 0, 1, 5, and 6, to ensure data redundancy and reliability.
The power supplies are hot-swappable, dual-redundant to ensure uptime during maintenance, while the array also features hot-pluggable drives and fans. These design elements contribute to enhanced reliability by allowing components to be replaced without taking the system offline, thus reducing downtime. The chassis is also engineered with an emphasis on energy efficiency, aligning with modern energy-saving requirements in IT infrastructure.
The MSA 60 array is designed to integrate easily with HP ProLiant servers, further improving operational efficiency and reducing any potential compatibility concerns. Managing the storage system is straightforward, as it can be done through HP Systems Insight Manager or command-line interface tools provided with HP solutions.
