HP StorageWorks P2000 G3 FC Modular Smart Array System (datasheet)

The HP StorageWorks P2000 G3 FC Modular Smart Array (P2000 G3 FC) is the newest Fibre Channel model of Hewlett Packard's 2000 family of storage arrays (which include the MSA2000i G2 iSCSI and the MSA2000sa G2 SAS connected models), specifically designed for entry-level customers and features the very latest in functionality and 8Gb technology at highly affordable price points. These storage solutions offer excellent price/performance and availability features for direct attach configurations (depending on OS), clusters, workgroups and entry-level SAN environments. Each solution is designed to be easy to deploy, to be secure, along with low management costs, while driving rapid return on investment.

The P2000 G3 FC is an 8 Gb Fibre Channel connected 2U storage area network (SAN) or direct connect solution (OS dependent) designed for small to medium size departments or remote locations. It offers a choice of two controllers. The first is a high-performance, Fibre Channel 8 Gb dual port model. The second is a unique dual-purpose Combo controller with two 8 Gb Fibre Channel ports with the addition of two 1GbE iSCSI ports. A P2000 G3 FC Array can have one or two of the same controller. Access to the enclosures and drives is at the new faster speed of 6Gb SAS.

The optional dual-protocol P2000 G3 MSA FC/iSCSI Combo Controller gives exceptional flexibility. The 8 Gb FC ports support a full FC SAN while the two 1GbE iSCSI ports can serve two purposes.

Both are able to simultaneously support enterprise-class SAS drives and archival-class SATA Midline drives. The SFF chassis also supports SAS Midline drives. Either chassis can have one or two P2000 G3 FC or FC/iSCSI Combo controllers.

HP's modular approach to the entry level enables incremental customer purchases, allowing the array to grow as needs grow thus allowing a maximum return on investment. Choose a single controller unit for low initial cost with the ability to upgrade later; or decide on a model with dual controllers for the most demanding entry-level situations. There are no additional charges, licenses or fees as you add enclosures or hosts and users.

Capacity can easily be added as the need develops by attaching additional drive enclosures. Maximum capacity ranges with LFF drives up to 57.6 TB SAS or 192 TB SATA with the addition of the maximum number of drive enclosures. Configurations utilizing the SFF drive chassis and the maximum number of drive enclosures can grow to 44.7 TB of SAS or 74.5 TB of SAS Midline o
