Data information is already vital for SMEs today. Not only is it growing rapidly, it must also be readily available. So, how can small and medium-sized enterprises achieve efficient storage, management, and availability of data? Even customers with only a few servers are looking for more intelligent ways to control data. The answer is to build a storage solution that is highly flexible, intelligent, easy to manage, and cost-effective, that is, a storage area network solution.
Storage area network integrated storage is an excellent solution that allows multiple servers to directly access shared disk and tape resources.
Traditionally, SAN solutions have been regarded as enterprise storage devices, specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises. For these companies, the current storage solutions are very expensive and complex, and have nothing to do with their business strategy or withstand the bottom line. The first experience of the HP simple storage SAN solution accurately solved these problems, making the SAN solution easier to understand and more closely related to the business.
First experience with SAN solutions
At present, do SMEs increase their investment in servers mainly because they need more disk space? Then, the separation of "storage capacity" from "processing functions" in SAN can greatly improve the efficiency of servers. Do SMEs have some servers with a shortage of storage disk space, while other servers have never used capacity or have low utilization rates? Do they want to increase utilization from 40% to 80%? SAN can create a central storage pool for all servers .
At the heart of the first experience of the HP SAN solution is the HP StorageWorks MSA modular smart array family. The HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array (MSA) family uses simple, economical, and industry-leading technology to provide the most cost-effective features for direct-connect environments, small clusters, entry-level, and mid-range SAN environments.
Among them, HP StroageWorks MSA20, 30 are positioned for workgroup applications, use smart array technology for high performance, and can be used for internal / external storage. Among them, MSA20 is a low-cost SATA disk chassis and MSA30 is a high-performance SCSI disk chassis. MSA500 is a cost-effective external storage solution that can provide storage consolidation of up to 4 independent servers, 2 clusters, or 1 combination.
The MSA1000 is located in branch office applications, has simple, economical, and fault-tolerant smart array technology, can provide clusters and shared storage, supports direct connection (DAS) to SAN (DtS) conversion, and has good cost performance and availability. MSA1500 provides powerful flexibility for customers to use storage technology for data classification. The MSA1000 and MSA1500 can provide enhanced storage consolidation of up to 20 servers in a Fibre Channel SAN, whether it is a stand-alone server, cluster, or combination.
MSA1000: One step to SAN, simplify management
So why should small and medium-sized enterprises purchase HP's SAN solution? First, the HP StorageWorks MSA family can help users migrate from DAS to SAN. MSA1000's unique DAS-to-SAN (DtS) architecture enables direct storage to storage. The migration of the regional network becomes very simple. It establishes an upgrade channel from the Smart Array controller to the SAN environment, so that users only need to remove the hard disk or tape with the backup data from the current array accessories, and then install it into the MSA1000 It can be completed in just a few minutes. After transplanting the hard disk, the new array can automatically "view" the configuration information, simply complete the conversion from DAS to SAN environment and improve the storage capacity utilization. Everything is so simple.
At the same time, HP Systems Insight Manager can monitor and manage servers and storage to achieve integrated management without additional licensing costs, helping customers install, integrate and optimize the efficiency and performance of their storage area management solutions An important part; the NAS / SAN converged solution can help small and medium-sized enterprises to integrate file and print services to achieve the best storage access for users and shared storage between applications and file servers.
At the same time, the cost of HP's entry-level SAN solution is about half that of mid-range file servers. Small and medium-sized enterprises can save costs to offset other hardware costs by making better use of storage capacity (which can reduce disk purchases) and more efficient management (each server can manage more storage). Implementing a SAN will prepare your IT environment for future flexibility and reduce costs in the long run. In addition, MSA500 provides a cost-effective external storage solution without the need for Fibre Channel infrastructure.
MSA1500: to achieve the best use of disk
SCSI disk technology is ideal for entry-level network storage because it can provide the same advantages as FC disks for large enterprise disk arrays. If you want cost-effective storage without accessing data frequently, SATA is your best choice. Serial ATA (SATA) technology provides a new method of storing data in the MSA1500, enabling tiered storage. In a tiered storage environment, SMEs can store data at the appropriate levels of performance and availability, ensuring low cost of ownership, while not adversely affecting your business.
In the SAN first experience solution, the most important data is stored in the first layer of the SCSI / FC disk. The second layer in SATA disks stores data that is near-line or infrequently accessed (for example, disk-to-disk backup copies). The third layer in the optical storage device stores tape-based backup copies or archived data. HP SATA disk cabinets can be used to store data that does not require high I / O performance and is not critical for business operations. It provides customers with low-cost, high-capacity storage solutions that can be used as a hardware basis for designing and implementing future solutions. The MSA1500 utilizes existing SCSI drive enclosures and HP StorageWorks MSA1000 controller technology, and integrates low-cost HP SATA hard drives and enclosures, thereby reducing total cost of ownership and expanding hardware investment.
