QTS
Solution Spotlight: Overview HP's MSA (Modular Storage Array) SAN (Storage Area Network) technology allows businesses to centralize their data storage onto a highly redundant, high-availability platform and enable server clustering. In its base configuration, the MSA1000 includes a RAID controller, support for 14 SCSI disk drives, and an internal Fibre Channel switch supporting up to 7 servers or devices. The MSA1000 is expandable with multiple "disk shelves" to support high capacity application needs. Multiple flavors of RAID are supported, allowing for the desired mix of capacity versus fault tolerance. Direct SAN-to-Tape backup is supported via Fibre-attached tape drives and the appropriate backup software agent. The MSA1000 also supports Windows Server clusters, and is QTS' recommended platform for Windows Server 2003 clusters for Medium Business customers. Up to seven servers can connect to the SAN via the onboard Fibre Channel switch, with the ability to add more via an external switch. The MSA1000 supports high availability configurations, with dual RAID controllers to maximize disk availability, dual switches to support dual-homed servers with multiple Host Bus Adapters, and a highly redundant disk system, to eliminate single points of failure.
