Description
Scalable Storage Capacity
The HPE MSA 1050 12Gb SAS Dual Controller SFF Storage is a scalable storage solution that provides high performance and capacity for small to medium-sized businesses. The scalable storage capacity of the MSA 1050 is achieved through the use of small form factor (SFF) hard disk drives (HDD) or solid-state drives (SSD).
The maximum raw capacity of the HPE MSA 1050 depends on the number of drives that are installed and the type of drives used. With the use of 12TB SFF HDDs, the maximum raw capacity can reach up to 960TB. On the other hand, with the use of 6.4TB SFF SSDs, the maximum raw capacity can reach up to 499.2TB.
Additionally, the MSA 1050 supports online capacity expansion (OCE) and online RAID level migration (RLM), allowing administrators to add capacity to the system without any disruption to the application environment. This enables the MSA 1050 to grow with the changing needs of your business.
In conclusion, the scalable storage capacity of the HPE MSA 1050 12Gb SAS Dual Controller SFF Storage makes it a flexible and cost-effective storage solution for small to medium-sized businesses that need to expand their storage capacity over time.
Advanced Data Protection
The HPE MSA 1050 12Gb SAS Dual Controller SFF Storage is a high-performance storage system that provides advanced data protection features to ensure the integrity and availability of stored data. Some of these data protection features are:
- Dual Controller Architecture: The dual controller architecture provides active-active controller support, ensuring that data is accessible even in the event of a single controller failure.
- Redundant Power Supplies: The MSA 1050 has redundant power supplies that provide additional protection against power failures and unplanned downtime.
- Hot-Plug Hard Disk Drives: The MSA 1050 supports hot-plug hard disk drives, allowing for easy replacement of failed drives without disrupting the operation of the storage system.
- Snapshot and Remote Snapshot: Snapshot and remote snapshot features allow for fast and efficient data protection, allowing for instant recovery of lost data.
- Volume Copy and Remote Volume Copy: Volume copy and remote volume copy features provide additional data protection by creating copies of data that can be used in case of a data loss event.
- Online Volume Expansion: The MSA 1050 supports online volume expansion, allowing for the addition of disk capacity without downtime.
- RAID Support: The MSA 1050 supports multiple levels of RAID protection, including RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, and RAID 10, providing data protection against disk failures and data corruption.
In conclusion, the HPE MSA 1050 12Gb SAS Dual Controller SFF Storage provides multiple layers of advanced data protection to ensure the availability and integrity of stored data.
High Availability and Redundancy
High availability and redundancy refer to the ability of a system to continue operating without interruption even in the event of a component failure. The Q2R21A HPE MSA 1050 12Gb SAS Dual Controller SFF Storage is designed to provide high availability and redundancy to ensure that data is always available and protected.
One of the key features that provides high availability is the dual controller design. The storage system has two independent controllers that work together to manage data storage and access. If one controller fails, the other controller can take over without any disruption to data access.
Another feature that provides high availability is the use of redundant power supplies. The storage system has two power supplies that are connected in parallel, ensuring that if one fails, the other can take over without any interruption to data access.
The storage system also has a battery-backed write cache, which provides data protection in the event of a power failure. This cache temporarily stores data in memory, so that it can be written to disk after power has been restored.
In addition, the Q2R21A HPE MSA 1050 12Gb SAS Dual Controller SFF Storage supports multiple disk configurations, including RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 6, to provide data protection against disk failures. If a disk fails, the storage system can automatically rebuild the data onto a replacement disk without any interruption to data access.
