Overview
Changing storage needs for server customers now requires greater levels of performance and functionality at a lower cost of ownership. The HP MSA 2040 storage arrays raises the bar and uniquely addresses HP ProLiant customers' shared storage and data protection needs, reduces total cost of ownership while dramatically increasing performance using technologies such as SSDs, snap and volume copy and replication.¦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 MSA 2040 delivers this performance by leveraging controller architecture with a good processor, four 8 Gb or 16 Gb FC ports with 4 GB cache per controller and using drive technologies such as SSDs.
  • Simple: flexible architecture
  • Future proof: 2x the bandwidth and the first entry SAN with 16 Gb FC
Simple: flexible architecture Deploy single or dual controllers depending on high-availability and budgetary requirements. Integrated setup and management tools for MSA are easy to manage for ProLiant/Blade System IT managers. Fast High-performance converged SAN controller offers 4x the performance of today's other entry-level SAN arrays. 4 port converged SAN controller with 4 GB cache supporting FC translates into better application response time and ability to support more virtualized environments. Future proof: 2x the bandwidth and the first entry SAN with 16 Gb FC 4th generation of MSA's unique Data-in-Place upgrades provide investment protection. Host ports upgradeable by SFPs allows customers to manage their total cost of ownership lower.
