Overview:
High-performance 8/16 Gb Fibre Channel (FC) array delivering entry-level and mid-market features to traditional MSA customers through Solid State Drives (SSDs) and latest host interconnects. Simple to deploy and simple to manage.
Changing storage needs for server customers now requires greater levels of performance and functionality at a lower cost of ownership. The next generation HP MSA 2040 Storage arrays raises the bar and uniquely addresses HP ProLiant customers' shared storage and data protection needs, reduces TCO while dramatically increasing performance using technologies such as Solid State Drives, Snap and Volume copy and Replication.
The new 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 MSA 2040 delivers this performance by leveraging new controller architecture with a new processor, four 8Gb or 16Gb FC ports with 4GB cache per controller and using drive technologies such as SSDs.
The new MSA 2040 Storage ships standard with 64 Snapshots and Volume Copy enabled for increased data protection and allow replication with optional Remote Snap software.

Optional Software:
HP MSA Snapshot Software
Optional HP MSA2000 Snapshot Software enables increased data protection by creating recovery points for your data, taking a "picture" of what your data was at the time of the snapshot. The snapshots are maintained even as data continues to change. In the event of a failure, you can recover data to any previous snapshot. Snapshots are a great complement to tape or disk backup strategy. Functionality is controller-based so no host resources are used, and they are space-efficient and provide copy-on-write capability.
HP Volume Copy Software
HP Volume Copy Software makes a physical copy of the data to another set of disks within the same array. One of the benefits of snapshot and volume copy software is the ability to mount a snap or volume copy to another server for backup, application testing, or data mining. HP Volume Copy Software is controller based, meaning no host resources are used. It provides a physical copy of data from one LUN to another with no server performance impact. The P2000 G3 arrays ship standard with 64 Snapshots and Volume Copy.
HP MSA Array Remote Snap Software
Built on asynchronous replication technology that provides remote replication on the HP MSA 2040 and HP P2000 Arrays (FC, Combo FC/iSCSI, or iSCSI models), this software is based on existing Snapshot technology. It supports both Ethernet and FC interconnects and provides flexible options to your application environments. Protect your investment with Snapshot-based replication that enables local and remote recovery.
