The MSA1000 is a next generation, 2-Gb storage system designed for the entry level to mid-range Storage Area Network (SAN). Designed to reduce the complexity, expense, and risk of SAN deployment, the MSA1000 provides a scalable, high-performance storage system with investment protection in mind. The modular design of the MSA1000 allows storage capacity to be added as needed.

This section discusses: ■ Features of the MSA1000 ■ Supported Software Components ■ Front View of the MSA1000 ■ Rear View of the MSA1000 ■ Hot-Pluggability ■ System Power ■ Maximum Storage ■ SCSI ID Assignment


The MSA1000 provides a high performance array controller in a 14-drive storage cabinet, capable of 2 Gb/s speeds over Fibre Channel. It may be expanded by adding two more storage cabinets for a total capacity of 42 drives. The MSA1000 is compatible with 1 Gb/s and 2 Gb/s hub and fabric switch interconnects and includes options for embedded switches and hubs.

HPE LTO Ultrium cartridges provide reliable and low cost protection to guard your data against the threat of cyber attacks and ransomware, as well as meeting your demands for reliability when restoring data. They enable businesses to comply with the recommendations of law enforcement agencies around the world to maintain offline copies of their data. Built upon a legacy of nine generations, and with native transfer speeds of up to 1.44 TB/h for LTO-9, there is a platform for every budget. Secure AES-256 encryption provides even higher levels of data security and compliance with the most stringent industry regulations to prevent unauthorized data access. HPE StoreOpen and Linear Tape File System makes using tape as easy, flexible, portable and intuitive as using other removable and shareable media, such as a USB drive. Also, because LTO cartridges at rest require minimal additional power and cooling, they offer a greener, more sustainable long term archival solution for your data.

What's New

• Massive increase in capacity – 620% over the native capacity of LTO-6 (18 TB LTO-9 versus 2.5 TB LTO-6)
• Increase in native performance – possible to store 1,44 TB/hr using LTO-9 (full-height only)
• Built-in AES 256-bit encryption (IEEE1619.1) (LTO-5, LTO-6, LTO-7, LTO-8, and LTO-9) – granted FIPS140-2 Level 1 certification.

Key FeaturesReliable Offline Medium that Creates an Air Gap to Keep Data Out of the Reach of Cybercriminals

Agencies such as the US FBI recommend keeping data offline. This is because tapes that are stored offline are disconnected from the network and are out of reach of sophisticated criminals who use digital networks to strike at companies to encrypt both their primary data and their backups.

Built-in AES 256-bit encryption (LTO-5 to LTO-9) allows you to provide additional security for data stored on tape. With LTO encryption (strengthened by the option to use WORM cartridges), even if tapes were to fall into the wrong hands, your data would be protected from unauthorized access.

Lowest Total Cost of Ownership for Long-term Archiving

According to a white paper from ESG, ‘The Economic Benefits of HPE StoreEver as Active Archival Storage’, published in August 2020, LTO tape technology is over 80% less expensive across a 10-year period, than either all-disk or all-cloud solutions for a 1 PB archive growing at 10% per annum.

Standardizing on HPE LTO Ultrium delivers the capacity to meet shrinking backup windows, industry-standard, AES 256-bit encryption (IEEE1619.1), and interchangeable read-write (RW) or WORM media; without extra space or IT resource overhead.

Open standard technology helps ensure compatibility across product generations and gives you more choice. HPE LTO Ultrium cartridges are available as custom labeled or non-custom labeled.

Highest Capacity and Performance of any Comparable Tape Technology

HPE LTO-9 Ultrium data cartridges can write or read data at a blistering native 1.44 TB/hour, storing, encrypting, and protecting up to 45 TB* on a single cartridge, making it ideal for large-scale, 24x7, mission-critical IT environments (*capacity assumes 2.5:1 compression).

A 35% increase in the number of tracks and a 3% increase in bit density has permitted a capacity increase from 30 TB for LTO-8 to 45 TB for LTO-9. From 2,176 tracks for LTO-6 to 8,960 tracks for 9th generation HPE LTO-9 Ultrium 45 TB cartridges (assuming 2.5:1 compression) – an improvement of 311%
