December 17, 2003—HP’s new data storage product family and packaged server-storage offerings are designed to meet the needs of small and medium-size businesses (SMBs) as well as enterprise customers, at up to 50 percent below the prices of IBM and Dell/EMC. Delivered complete in one box, the offerings can help shorten sales cycles, reduce time to deployment, and quicken revenue returns.
With estimated US list prices starting at under $10,000, the combination of the new HP StorageWorks Modular Smart Array (MSA) family and industry-standard HP ProLiant servers gives growing businesses, remote and departmental offices, and channel partners reliable storage solutions that are simple to acquire and deploy, at an accessible price, says the company.
The MSA storage products offer high-performance features for direct attach environments, clusters, and entry-level storage area network (SAN) environments. Each solution is designed to maximize transfer rates and reduce management costs in order to facilitate a rapid return on investment.
