SMB Overview
Customer Transitioning from internal to external storage
No dedicated storage administrator
Cost conscious and value driven
Require quick and simple implementation
Solution vs. technology driven Challenges
Growing beyond limitations of internal storage
Trying to stay within their limited budgets
Limited IT resources and expertise
Increasing data protection / recovery at a reasonable cost
Unaware of functionality that would add value to their business

SCSI is in its 7th generation with the U320 SCSI and has reached its final iteration
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) is the successor to parallel SCSI New roadmap and the industry-wide acceptance
Offers significant performance enhancements 3-Gbps SAS x4 “wide” ports provide a cumulative bandwidth of up to 12-Gbps for
host connectivity and expansion SAS will become the interface of choice for entry-level storage and
servers SAS and SATA drive compatibility supports tiered storage
SAS is superior to SCSI
What is Tiered Storage?Tiered Storage is a term used when customers divide their storage according to their data’srequirements. For example; data that is most commonly used in read environments is storedon cost-effective SATA disks, while transactional data (databases) is stored on SAS disks thatare suited for random read / write operations.

HPQ MSA1500cs - Pros
Supports SCSI and/or SATA Supports up to 96 SATA drives
Supports up to 56 SCSI drives Somewhat low priced
$8,995 for 0TB - 1 controller (Ideas International web site 1/2/07)
$15,400 for 0TB SAN starter kit (Ideas International web site 1/2/07)
(includes 1 x MSA1500, 1 x controller, 1 x MSA20 SATA drive enclosure, 1 x 4/8 Base SAN Switch, 4 x SFP transceivers & 2 x FCA2214 HBAs & cables)
Supports Linux, Win & Netware Viewed as a low-profile 2U solution Could be used to add SATA to existing HP installations New MSA1510i provides iSCSI
© 2006 IBM Corporation
HPQ MSA1500cs - Cons
Uses desktop quality SATA drives Extremely low MTBF
Every drive enclosure is a Single-Point-Of-Failure More modules = more SPOF
Based on five-year old MSA1000 controllers Only two 2Gb/s FC host ports for the entire storage system Extremely poor performance - single 2Gb data path per controller HP recommends the same hard drive capacity be installed in an
entire disk enclosure. Lacks flexibility & configurability
Redundant configurations are expensive Requires two host bus adapters per server
Second controller and fibre channel I/O module
Secure Path software for each server.
