provides an excellent value for customers needing performance balanced with price to support initiatives such as consolidation and
virtualization.
The MSA 2040 delivers this performance by offering:
New controller architecture with a new processor
4GB cache per controller
Solid State drives (SSDs)
Up to four (4) host ports per controller
Two new MSA 2040 Controllers:
MSA 2040 SAN Controller
8Gb/16Gb FC connectivity and/or
1GbE/10GbE iSCSI
MSA 2040 SAS Controller
6Gb/12Gb SAS connectivity
The HP MSA 2040 Storage System brings the performance benefits of SSDs to MSA array family customers. This array has been
designed to maximize performance by using high performance drives across all applications sharing the array.
The HP MSA 2040 Storage arrays are positioned to provide an excellent value for customers needing increasing performance to
support initiatives such as consolidation and virtualization.
The HP MSA 2040 Storage ships standard with a license for 64 Snapshots and Volume Copy for increased data protection. There is also
an optional license for 512 snapshots. The HP MSA 2040 can also replicate data between arrays (P2000 G3 and/or MSA 2040 SAN
Model only using FC or iSCSI protocol) with the optional Remote Snap feature.
