HPE MSA Storage has been the leading shared storage solution for HPE ProLiant servers for almost three decades. With over 600,000 storage arrays sold, MSA continues to deliver on its promise of simple, fast, and affordable storage for SMB customers. The HPE MSA Gen7 Storage array sets a new standard for entry-level shared storage by providing an affordable path to high-performance storage without compromising on the simplicity and reliability that its customers depend on. The MSA Gen7 array portfolio delivers up to 2x more system performance while supporting user scalability beyond 7 PB per array with new high-capacity media options. New Gen7 innovations supporting online system and media firmware updates, as well as simpler and faster access to the HPE MSA Health Check tool, reduce the complexity and time required for routine system maintenance.

What is new supporting point:
Customer configurable HPE MSA Gen7 storage array models and storage media options available through the HPE Smart Choice program.
HPE Smart Choice MSA Gen7 all-flash storage array bundles with up to 92 TB of raw storage capacity included, supporting 16/32 Gb Fibre Channel, 10/25 GbE iSCSI, and 12 Gb SAS host connectivity.
All MSA Gen6 and Gen7 storage array models are now fully certified for use with HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software.
MSA HDD and SSD media options supporting an increase in MSA Gen7 raw capacity of up to a maximum of 7.37 PB.




At-a-glance


  • Next generation system architecture supporting incredibly fast performance for an entry-level storage solution. HPE MSA Gen7 Storage delivers up to 2x more IOPS (random) performance with up to 30% more system bandwidth (sequential) as compared to HPE MSA Gen6 Storage. [1]
    Real-time, automated data tiering for hybrid configurations, optimizing the use of high-performance SSD media as well as lower-cost HDD storage within the same array. With minimal investment in SSDs, users can increase system IOPS by up to 4x versus HDD-only configurations. [2]
    HPE MSA-DP+ advanced RAID technology eliminates the use of idle spare drives by distributing spare capacity across all drives in the disk group and enabling drive rebuild times that are up to 25x faster than traditional RAID. [3]

  • Start small and scale as needed with any combination of SSDs, Enterprise SAS HDDs, or Midline SAS HDDs. "Grow as you go" upgrades are available through low-cost HPE MSA SSD and HDD media 6-packs.
    A wide range of HPE MSA Gen7 Storage array models, including value-driven solution bundles for hybrid-flash and all-flash configurations, provide a cost-effective path to high-performance storage on Day 1.
    Minimize resources dedicated to daily maintenance and focus on business outcomes with HPE MSA Health Check. A cloud-based tool available to all MSA users at no additional charge, MSA Health Check uses MSA system logs to assess performance and configurations against HPE MSA best practice guidelines.

  • Start with the unique and intuitive graphical user interface of HPE MSA Storage Management Utility (SMU) that provides step-by-step instructions and guided workflows to set up the array within minutes.
    System monitoring and maintenance available through a simplified dashboard offers "at-a-glance" views of system alerts, performance, and capacity usage. New HPE MSA Gen7 innovations include support for online controller/media firmware updates as well as simpler and faster access to MSA Health Check.
    System architecture supporting hot-swap controllers, drives, and power supplies, enabling users to quickly complete upgrades and maintenance with minimal downtime.
