Features
System architecture supporting hot-swap controllers, drives, and power supplies, enabling users to quickly complete upgrades and maintenance with minimal downtime.
Fast – Real Performance You Can See and Feel
Next generation system architecture supporting incredibly fast performance for an entry-level storage solution. HPE MSA Gen7 Storage delivers up to 2x more IOPS (random) performance with up to 30% more system bandwidth (sequential) as compared to HPE MSA Gen6 Storage. [1]
Real-time, automated data tiering for hybrid configurations, optimizing the use of high-performance SSD media as well as lower-cost HDD storage within the same array. With minimal investment in SSDs, users can increase system IOPS by up to 4x versus HDD-only configurations. [2]
HPE MSA-DP+ advanced RAID technology eliminates the use of idle spare drives by distributing spare capacity across all drives in the disk group and enabling drive rebuild times that are up to 25x faster than traditional RAID. [3]
Affordable – Great Value Across All MSA Configurations
Start small and scale as needed with any combination of SSDs, Enterprise SAS HDDs, or Midline SAS HDDs. "Grow as you go" upgrades are available through low-cost HPE MSA SSD and HDD media 6-packs.
A wide range of HPE MSA Gen7 Storage array models, including value-driven solution bundles for hybrid-flash and all-flash configurations, provide a cost-effective path to high-performance storage on Day 1.
Minimize resources dedicated to daily maintenance and focus on business outcomes with HPE MSA Health Check. A cloud-based tool available to all MSA users at no additional charge, MSA Health Check uses MSA system logs to assess performance and configurations against HPE MSA best practice guidelines.
Simple – The Shared Storage System Anyone Can Use
Start with the unique and intuitive graphical user interface of HPE MSA Storage Management Utility (SMU) that provides step-by-step instructions and guided workflows to set up the array within minutes.
System monitoring and maintenance available through a simplified dashboard offers "at-a-glance" views of system alerts, performance, and capacity usage. New HPE MSA Gen7 innovations include support for online controller/media firmware updates as well as simpler and faster access to MSA Health Check.
