- High performance: supports MSA1000 with a 2 Gb interconnect capable of up to 200 MB throughput
- Low cost: supports the entry-level SAN array with the most cost effective option for 2-node clustering
- Compact: installs in the MSA1000, replacing the I/O module, saving valuable rack space
The HPE StorageWorks MSA Hub 2/3 is a low-cost interconnect designed for clustering or low cost, high speed attachment of two servers to the msa1000, an entry-level storage area network (SAN) solution. The MSA Hub 2/3 is a 3-port Fiber Channel Arbitrated Loop hub that is mounted on a blade that easily installs inside the msa1000 storage unit, saving valuable rack space. Two of these hubs may be installed for redundancy within the msa1000. The MSA Hub 2/3 is not cascadable. The hub presents the user with two SFP ports for simple direct attachment to two single or clustered servers without having to purchase an external interconnect device. It offers the most cost-effective solution for a user to enable a clustered server environment.
