The HP StorageWorks 1510i Modular Smart Array is an iSCSI based 2U controller shelf that connects to both enterprise-class SCSI and Serial ATA (SATA) disk enclosures. (HP recommends SCSI drives for intensive heavy I/O requirements while SATA drives should be used in archived, "near on-line" disk-to-disk backup configurations). This combination provides customers with a low cost, high capacity storage solution. This solution has been designed as a hardware foundation for which future solutions can be designed and implemented for investment protection. The MSA1510i with up-to-eight attached SATA enclosures can provide the customer with up to 64 TB (using 750 GB SATA disk drives) of capacity . If the business requires SCSI reliability, then attach up-to-four SCSI enclosures for a raw capacity of 16.8 TB (using 300 GB SCSI disks).The MSA1510i provide two 1 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces. To attain maximum performance the MSA1510i should be connected only to a 1000base-T network.By utilizing existing SCSI drive enclosures and MSA1000 controller technology and integrating the use of low cost SATA hard drives and enclosures, the MSA1510i lowers the total cost of ownership and extends the customers hardware investments into the future. With lower cost of ownership, customers can now take advantage of tiered storage capabilities matching up data with appropriate levels of performance, availability and cost of data storage. The result is lower overall cost without giving up the needs of business applications.The MSA1510i is a member of the HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array family, delivering industry-leading technology to meet today's demanding and growing storage needs. These storage solutions offer the best price performance features for direct attach environments and entry-level and mid-range SAN environments. Each solution is designed to maximize transfer rates, reduce management costs, while driving rapid return on investment.The MSA1510i can be remotely managed by using management tools such as HP Insight Manager and the HP Storage Management Utility. The MSA1510i is positioned for users looking for flexible, scalable and easy to manage storage solution.
