- Management and monitoring: The controller supports web-based management and monitoring, which allows for easy remote management of the storage system, and provides real-time monitoring of the system’s health and performance.
RAID Support And Data Protection Options
The AW592A HP Storage Works P2000 G3 SAS MSA Array System Controller supports RAID and offers various data protection options:
- RAID support: The controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and 50. This allows for various levels of data redundancy and performance optimization depending on the specific requirements of the storage system.
- Data protection options: The controller offers various data protection options, including:
- Snapshot: Snapshots allow for point-in-time copies of data to be taken and stored, providing a quick and easy way to restore data in case of accidental deletion or corruption.
- Replication: The controller supports replication of data to a remote location, providing disaster recovery and business continuity capabilities.
- Remote Snapshot: The controller supports Remote Snapshot which allows data to be replicated to a remote site for disaster recovery purposes.
- Thin Provisioning: Thin Provisioning allows for the efficient use of storage resources by allocating space only as it is needed.
- Data Progression: The controller supports Data Progression, which automatically moves data from high-performance, high-cost storage to lower-cost storage as it becomes less frequently accessed.
- Auto-tiering: The controller supports Auto-tiering, which automatically moves data between different tiers of storage depending on the data’s access patterns and performance requirements.
- Data Deduplication: The controller supports Data Deduplication which reduces the storage space required by eliminating redundant data.
- Data Compression: The controller supports Data Compression which reduces the storage space required by compressing data.
- All of the above options work together to ensure that data is protected and stored in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible, while also providing high availability and quick recovery in case of a failure.
- The controller also support multiple protocols such as Fibre Channel, iSCSI and FCIP, which provide flexibility in terms of network connectivity and data access.
Scalability And Performance Enhancements
The AW592A HP Storage Works P2000 G3 SAS MSA Array System Controller offers several scalability and performance enhancements:
- Scalability: The controller supports up to 96 disk drives, allowing for a maximum capacity of up to 480TB. It also supports multiple enclosures, allowing for even greater scalability.
