Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced the launch of the latest generation of storage solutions – HPE Modular Smart Array (MSA) Gen 6

This new product is designed to bring enhanced performance, reliability and simplified management to the market.

MSA Gen 6 is designed to meet the growing storage needs of small and medium business (SMB) and remote office/branch office (ROBO) environments. It comes with a wide range of features, including improved performance and scalability, simplified management and setup, and advanced data protection capabilities.

One of the standout features of the MSA Gen 6 is its impressive performance. Support for the latest 12 Gb/s SAS technology delivers a 45% improvement in input/output operations per second (IOPS) compared to the previous generation. This performance boost ensures faster data transfer and improves overall system responsiveness, making it ideal for data-intensive applications and workloads.

Scalability is another important aspect of MSA Gen 6. It enables businesses to start small and easily expand their storage capacity as needs grow. MSA Gen 6 supports up to 24 small form factor (SFF) or 12 large form factor (LFF) drives, providing the flexibility to meet a variety of storage requirements. Additionally, customers can mix different drive types and sizes within the same array, allowing for optimized storage configurations.

Notably, HPE is also working to simplify management and setup with MSA Gen 6. A new web-based management interface simplifies management tasks, making it easier for IT professionals to configure and manage storage resources. The intuitive interface provides a consolidated view of the entire storage infrastructure, simplifying monitoring and troubleshooting. This user-friendly approach not only reduces complexity, but also saves time and resources for small and medium-sized businesses and ROBO environments.

Additionally, MSA Gen 6 integrates advanced data protection capabilities to ensure the integrity and security of business-critical data. It supports advanced data replication, snapshot technology and encrypted SSD. These capabilities give businesses peace of mind that their data is safe and accessible even in the event of a system failure or data loss.

MSA Gen 6 also features an energy-efficient design that reduces enterprise power consumption and operating costs. HPE incorporates the latest energy-saving technologies, such as enhanced power supply design and intelligent cooling mechanisms. These energy-saving features help create a greener IT infrastructure while delivering optimal performance.

HPE’s release of MSA Gen 6 demonstrates their commitment to providing high-performance, scalable, and easy-to-manage storage solutions for small and medium-sized businesses and ROBO environments. With its improved performance, simplified management and advanced data protection capabilities, MSA Gen 6 sets a new standard for storage solutions in these areas. It provides organizations with the flexibility, reliability and efficiency they need to meet their growing storage needs and achieve business success.
