Get the right storage, just when you need it. Tackle your data storage challenges with a simple, fast and amazingly affordable HPE MSA system. Integrated with today’s most widely used hypervisors and operating systems, HPE MSA Gen 6 enables you to power your workloads even as you work to lower costs.
Key capabilities set HPE MSA apart
Advances in the Gen6 architecture make HPE MSA a better choice than ever. From a much more streamlined user experience to additional performance to data protection and system optimisation, everything you need is here.
Keep your system healthy
Eliminate 76% of MSA support calls with the HPE MSA Gen6 Health Check tool. This cloud-based tool searches sensor data for known issues, adherence to best practices and more, which maximises availability, improves user experience and slashes local management overhead.
New, simplified daily dashboard
Gen6 introduces an at-a-glance dashboard to provide admins what they need instantly: utilisation, alerts, performance data, activities and logged historical changes. All with drill down for additional detail, and you can rest easy knowing your storage is ready to deliver the agility and speed you need.
Advanced on-array data protection
Take advantage of a new level of in-array data protection that spans drives, incorporates sparing and dramatically simplifies expansion – allowing users to include drives of different capacities. HPE MSA Data Protection Plus (MSA-DP++) for Gen6 eliminates idle HDD spares, speeds rebuild times by up to 25X and improves overall system efficiency and performance.
Hands-free performance tiering
Deliver application acceleration based on workload need – in real-time and without lifting a finger. Automated tiering with SSDs delivered a 2-4x increase in IOPs in previous HPE MSA generations. We boost that an additional 45% with our new Tiering 2.0 algorithms in Gen6.

Explore storage for performance hungry apps
No matter the demand, now and in the future, there is an HPE MSA SAN Storage Solution for your needs.
Longview Public Schools goes to school on storage
Longview Schools found that storage for 6,500 students, 800 staff and 4,000 Chromebooks adds up. It implemented set-and-forget flash-ready storage with built-in, real-time data tiering and achieved 40% cost savings.
Challenge
Provide a California school district with the storage capacity needed to house a wide assortment of databases, archives, applications – and room for a virtualised server environment for many VMs.
Solution
To boost the storage capacity of its Microsoft Hyper-V hosts, the school district opted for a flexible base model HPE MSA SAN Storage with a total capacity of 28.8 TB to support a three-host Hyper-V cluster.
“The quality of HPE MSA Storage is great. HPE equipment is always well-made and well-supported.”
Result
The hybrid flash, clustered solution lets Longview add storage capacity as the district grows, while improving the perceived speed performance, extending device lifecycle and lowering replacement costs.
