HP Modular Storage Array

The MSA is an entry level storage solution designed for medium sized organisations and small SAN deployments. The MSA arrays shared their SAS and SATA disk technology with the HP Proliant servers, making them very affordable. Even so, they support advanced technologies including Snapshot and Replication.

Starter bundles are available that include fibre channel switches and various disk configurations. Alternatively, customers can specify their own configuration based on SAS or SATA disk technology.

The MSA range includes models that can be directly attached to Proliant and Integrity Servers as well as those that support iSCSI.
