HP StorageWorks P2000 G3 and MSA2000 G2 ArraysFamily Data sheetHow can the flexibility of the HP StorageWorksP2000 G3 MSA Array Systems help remedy growingstorage needs and small budgets? By offeringhigh‑performance 8 Gb FC, Combo FC/iSCSI, or6 Gb SAS connected arrays designed for efficientstorage consolidation at affordable prices. The FC/iSCSI Combo controller gives the flexibility to sharethe array resources over two protocols, supporting theneeds of dissimilar departments and budgets.All P2000 G3 MSA arrays ship standard with 64Snapshots and Volume Copy enabled for increaseddata protection. The FC or Combo FC/iSCSIcontrollers allow replication with optional RemoteSnap Software. The arrays allow departments andsmall to medium businesses to grow capacity asneeded, up to 149 drives. Mixing of LFF and SFFenterprise-class SAS and archival-class SATA drivesis supported. Configure with a single controller forlow initial cost, or dual controllers for higheravailability and performance for the most demandingentry-level situations.Delivers an affordable, flexible,high-performance SAN array solutionoffering 8 Gb Fibre Channel, Combo FC/iSCSI, or 6 Gb SAS connectivity, all with64 snaps standard, and optional RemoteSnap for FC and FC/iSCSI models.HP StorageWorks P2000 RemoteSnap SoftwareProvides mid-range installations with local orremote, array-based, asynchronous Snapshotreplication between HP StorageWorks P2000 G3FC MSA Arrays.HP StorageWorks P2000 Remote Snap Softwareoffers controller-based, asynchronous replicationtechnology that provides local or remote replicationbetween two HP StorageWorks P2000 G3 FC MSAArrays. HP Remote Snap functionality is basedon existing Snapshot technology offered byHP 2000 SAN Array products. Snapshots are usedto track the data to be replicated, as well as todetermine the differences in data updated on themaster volume, reducing the amount of data needingto be transferred.Supporting both Ethernet and Fibre Channelinterconnects provides flexible options to yourapplication environments. Protect your investment withSnapshot-based replication enabling local and remoterecovery based on need. Leveraging the integrated64 Snapshots and the Volume Copy standard on theP2000 G3 FC MSA Array, the Remote Snap Softwarecost-effectively creates the local or remote copies.

Awide choice of drive types means a high return oninvestment (ROI).The P2000 G3 MSA comes standard with 64snapshot and Volume Copy cloning capabilityenabled. Snapshots can be optionally boosted to512 snaps, and the P2000 G3 FC MSA andFC/iSCSI models support the Remote Snap(replication) software option.2Start small and grow in number ofsupported servers and total capacityThe P2000 G3 MSA allows customers to grow theirstorage as demands increase up to 57.6 TB SAS or192 TB SATA supporting up to 64 hosts for FibreChannel attach. The P2000 G3 MSA can support upto 7 LFF drive enclosures and 96 drives or 5 SFF driveenclosures and a maximum of 149 drives.Powerful new controllers and 2 GB of read/writecache provide support for up to 64 hosts. Latest (8 GbFibre Channel and 6 GB SAS) technology means thatthe users have fast and reliable access to their data.The P2000 G3 MSA comes with 64 Snapshot andVolume Copy capability at no extra charge. Increasedsnapshot capability of 512 snaps is an option. RemoteSnap software is also an option, allowing replicationover iSCSI or Fibre Channel.With 512 LUNs, the P2000 G3 FC MSAhas more than sufficient LUNs for storageconfiguration flexibility.

Comprehensive data protection in aneasily-administered SAN environmentReduce risk of IT failure with dual active/activecontrollers, dual‑ported drives, and redundanthardware components.For increased data protection, the P2000 G3MSA comes with a 64 Snapshot license (optional512 snaps) and Volume Copy Software, givingspace‑efficient, copy-on-write snapshots and clones atno charge. Remote Snap software allowing replicationover iSCSI or Fibre Channel is optional.Reduced time to operation with easy and securedeployment. Reduced risk from operator errors,resulting in less downtime and data loss, whileincreasing customer satisfaction. Supports customerreplaceable hot plug components such as drives,controllers, fans, and power supplies.P2000 G3 controllers can be used to upgradeprior generations of MSA2000 G1 and G2 modelsregardless of protocol. The P2000 G3 FC, FC/iSCSICombo, or SAS controllers support data‑in-placeupgrades, protecting the user’s investment in JBODs(Just a Bunch of Disks) and drives while giving greaterperformance, functionality.

The total package—SoftwareHP StorageWorks 2000 Snapshot SoftwareHP 2000 Snapshot Software enables increased data protection by creating recoverypoints for your data, taking a “picture” of what your data was at the time of thesnapshot. The snapshots are maintained even as data continues to change. In the eventof a failure, you can recover data to any previous snapshot. Snapshots are a greatcomplement to tape or disk backup strategy. HP 2000 Snapshot Software functionalityis controller-based, so no host resources are used; and they arespace-efficient and provide copy-on-write capability. For more information visit:http://www.hp.com/go/P2000HP StorageWorks 2000Volume Copy SoftwareHP 2000 Volume Copy Software makes a physical copy of the data to another set ofIncludeddisks within the same array. One of the benefits of snapshot and Volume Copy Softwareis the ability to mount a snap or volume copy to another server for backup, applicationtesting, or data mining. HP 2000 Volume Copy Software is controller-based, meaningno host resources are used. It provides a physical copy of data from one LUN to anotherwith no server performance impact. The P2000 G3 arrays ship standard with 64snapshots and volume copy.
