What is MSA storage? Magic of Generation 6 Performance!

Are you searching for simple and budget-friendly flash storage? The HPE MSA 2062 Storage offers a flash-ready hybrid storage system designed for small and remote office deployments. It combines simplicity, flexibility, and advanced features that exceed expectations for an entry-level array.

You can start small and scale as needed by using any combination of solid-state drives (SSDs), high-performance Enterprise SAS HDDs, or cost-effective Midline SAS HDDs. With the capability to deliver 325,000 IOPS, the MSA 2060 is up to 45% faster than its predecessor, providing ample power for demanding workloads.

Featuring a modern design, the HPE Modular Smart Arrays (MSAs) incorporate new iSCSI, SAS, and Fiber Channel high-performance generation 6 controllers. This design ensures that organizations can secure their most valuable data while making it easily accessible to employees.

Why Choose HPE MSA for Your Business?

HPE’s entry-level storage portfolio consistently delivers performance, simplicity, and flexibility for various applications. Performance Tiering enhancements allow you to create a high-performance SAN system using only a few SSDs, enabling the HPE MSA Gen6 to accelerate every ProLiant workload without overspending.

Simplified Storage with Three New Models

The HPE MSA Storage has long been a popular entry solution for HPE ProLiant servers. The latest Gen6 models provide high-performance, flash-ready storage for small and medium businesses:

• HPE MSA 1060: Ideal for users with fixed capacity and performance needs for smaller IT workloads.
• HPE MSA 2060: Offers increased performance and capacity to handle the most demanding IT applications.
• HPE MSA 2062: Combines the MSA 2060 with two 1.92TB SSD drives and an Advanced Data Service license, providing significant savings (up to 31% off list price) while allowing immediate use of a high-performance hybrid-flash storage solution.

All MSA Gen6 arrays feature a standard set of capabilities that help SMB customers transition to hybrid-flash SAN infrastructure. The new Gen6 architecture simplifies interaction with the array, making it user-friendly.

Enhanced User Experience with MSA Storage Management Utility

The HPE MSA Storage Management Utility (SMU v4) offers straightforward, step-by-step guided workflows. This utility allows users to configure the array right out of the box, reducing errors and improving the user experience. It simplifies tasks that users may not perform daily, nearly eliminating the need for a reference manual.

MSA Health Check

Curious about your system’s performance? The MSA Health Check is a cloud-based tool that evaluates your system’s compliance with HPE best practices. It delivers detailed, actionable instructions to resolve any issues quickly.

Key Features that Enhance Efficiency

The sixth-generation arrays include numerous features and advancements. Here are three significant changes that improve performance:

1. Improved Performance: The new Gen6 RAID controller architecture outperforms earlier Gen5 controllers by up to 50%. This reduced system latency allows for faster access to applications and data, resulting in a noticeable performance gain for users.
2. Tiering of Performance 2.0: Gen6 models feature a new “hands-free” Tiering 2.0 algorithm, providing up to 45% more application acceleration compared to previous models. This option keeps “hot” data on the fastest media (such as SSD Flash) by dynamically responding to I/O changes, significantly enhancing access times and productivity.
3. MSA Data Protection Plus (MSA-DP+): This new RAID-based capability dramatically improves traditional RAID technology. In the event of a drive failure, rebuild speed is up to 25 times faster than RAID 6, allowing quick recovery. This innovation reduces the need for spare drives and simplifies capacity expansion.

Proven Track Record of Engineering Excellence

With over a decade of engineering advancements, HPE MSA continues to simplify, accelerate, and enhance the reliability of affordable SAN storage. The MSA Gen6 builds on this legacy of quality and dependability.

If you need a new data storage solution, are facing challenges with your existing infrastructure, or want to refresh outdated hardware, consider the HPE MSA Gen6 arrays. They represent an excellent choice for businesses looking to enhance their storage capabilities.

. HPE MSA Storage has always been a straightforward, low-cost storage solution. However, the new Gen6 models push the boundaries of entry-level storage by adapting to today’s workloads. Moreover, they automate and simplify IT operations, while securing corporate data wherever it resides.
