USED HP STORAGEWORKS 500 G2 MODULAR SMART ARRAY


The HP StorageWorks 500 G2 Modular Smart Array is a simple and reliable RAID storage system for enterprise remote offices, distributed computing environments and medium business. Built upon reliable and high performance Smart Array technology the Modular Smart Array 500 G2 offers customers flexibility to cluster servers or share storage for improved storage utilization. The 2nd generation MSA500 system incorporates end-to-end Ultra320 SCSI technology and delivers best-in-class performance and rapid drive rebuild technology. It supports up to 14 HP Universal disk drives and is expandable with an in-place upgrade to the MSA1000. The new Modular Smart Array 500 G2 system adds support for 4-node clusters and a combined cluster and storage sharing environment.

These storage solutions offer the best price/performance and best price/availability features for direct attach environments, small clusters, workgroups and entry-level SAN environments. Each solution is designed to be easy to deploy, secure, reduce management costs, while driving rapid return on investment.

In addition to convertibility to the SAN, the Modular Smart Array 500 G2 allows the seamless migration of stored data in ProLiant servers protected by Smart Array PCI controllers to a Modular Smart Array 500 system. Data that is currently stored on 1" Universal disk drives using HP Smart Array controllers can easily be migrated to the Modular Smart Array 500 G2. Simply remove the drives from the older systems and insert them into the Modular Smart Array 500 G2. Existing data and configuration will remain intact. In addition, the RAID set and data will be preserved allowing migration to be completed in minutes, not hours.
