The Hewlett Packard StorageWorks 2000 Family of SAN arrays features P2000 G3 MSA arrays with the latest 8 Gb Fibre Channel, 6 Gb SAS, and 10GbE iSCSI connected models, along with the MSA2000i G2 1Gb iSCSI model. They are designed for entry-level customers and feature the latest in functionality and host-connect technology while offering excellent price/performance. They are ideal for those with small budgets or limited IT expertise, and larger companies with departmental or remote requirements.
All P2000 G3 MSA arrays ship standard with 64 Snapshots and Volume Copy enabled for increased data protection. The FC or Combo FC/iSCSI controllers allow replication with optional Remote Snap software. The arrays allow departments and small to medium businesses to grow capacity as needed up to 149 drives. Mixing of LFF and SFF enterprise-class SAS and archival-class SATA drives is supported. Configure with a single controller for low initial cost, or dual controllers for high availability for the most demanding entry-level customers.
Large companies that have multiple smaller departments and/or remote locations, and smaller companies whose storage needs demand shared resources
