How to extend drive space on ProLiant DL380?

Hi, i have HP Proliant DL380 which includes 6x 72GB Hard Drives. However i want to extend this basically to an unlimited capacity but not sure how to go about this.

The server has an SCSI input on the rear so was wondering if i could attach a storageworks enclosure like the ones in the link below to the SCSI input. WILL THE External Hard Drives (storageworks enclosure) Then Be Accessible Through The DL380? ie to save files to the array? If so mybee i can then string drive arrays together?

I have an MSA 1000 with 2 fibre switches but i ask this question because in actual fact i have approximately 5 DL380 (Web Servers) id like to be able to extend using Storageworks drive arrays if possible?

Im not particularly clued up here as you can tell so please be as basic as possible.

The servers DL380s run server 2003 and others ubuntu 12.04 OS.

Thanks.

Heres the link i mentioned:
