• MSA 2040 supports SSD drives which allow IT managers to boost IOPS performance.
• Automated Sub-Lun Tiering. The
Archive tier. This feature is available with GL200 firmware or newer.
• SSD Performance Tier to improve random read and write performance. Creation of an SSD Performance Tier for both
read and write capabilities requires a Performance Auto Tiering License (D4T79A/ D4T79AE). The Performance Auto
Tiering License is not required in Linear Storage configurations not utilizing Virtual Storage Disk-Groups and Pools.
• SSD Read Cache to improve random read performance. A maximum of 2 SSD’s are supported per pool utilizing a
maximum of 4TB of read cache per controller.
• Thin Provisioning allows storage allocation of physical storage resources only once they are consumed by an application.
Thin Provisioning also allows over-provisioning of physical storage pool resources allowing ease of growth for volumes
without predicting storage capacity upfront. Thin Provisioning is available with GL200 firmware or newer.
• Snapshot enhancements for virtual storage, including performance improvements, hierarchical snapshots, and simplified
resource management. Administrators can monitor and optionally control snapshot space usage with GL220 firmware or
later.
• Prioritize data by assigning appropriate affinity level (Performance, No Affinity & Archive) with GL220 firmware or later.

• Simple storage management including an intuitive browser-based user interface.
• Storage Management Utility V3 (SMU). This new MSA management GUI brings a new modern look and feel to array
V3 or to continue to use the previous generation SMU V2 if new virtualization features are not required.
• MSA 2040 comes standard with 64 controller-based snapshots and clone capability (volume copy is available for both
linear and virtual storage with GL220 firmware or later; pre-GL220 firmware, volume copy is only available on linear
storage). Arrays also support an optional 512 snaps. Choose either a low-cost single controller array or start with a
configured dual controller array model to fit the budget, high availability, and performance needs.
• All models feature a wide variety of drives: High-performance SSD drives, enterprise-class SAS, SED and SAS Midline
drives.
• The MSA 2040 will support a maximum of 7 disk enclosures (either LFF and/or SFF). Add-on enclosures can either be
D2700 Small Form Factor (SFF) drive enclosures or MSA 2040 Large Form Factor (LFF) disk enclosures. The array can

Prior to GL200 firmware the MSA 2040 operated through manual Tiering, LUNand managed by using dedicated vdisks and volumes. LUN level Tiering requires careful planning such that
applications requiring the highest performance be placed on Vdisks utilizing high performance SSD´s.

abilities. First, because Remote Snap uses snapshots as the underlying technology it

or later; pre-GL220 firmware remote snap replication is only available on linear storage. HPE MSA
Remote Snap Software is array based software that provides remote replication on the HPE MSA
2040 Array products. HPE Remote Snap is a form of asynchronous replication which consists of
replication of block-level data from a volume on a local system to a volume that may be on the same
system or on a second independent system. This second system may be co-located with the first
system or may be located at a remote site.
• HPE Remote Snap functionality is based on existing Snapshot technology offered by HPE MSA SAN
Array products. Snapshots are used to track the data to be replicated as well as to determine the
differences in data updated on the master volume, minimizing the amount of data to be transferred.
• HPE Remote Snap replication technology provides the ability to accomplish key data management
and protection cap
creates multiple local recovery points which can be used for such tasks as to complement daily
backups; second, replication provides the ability to access data in a remote site which could be used
for dispersed operations; and third but definitely not least important replication allows for business
continuance in the event of a failure on the primary site.
• In order to perform a replication, a snapshot of the volume to be replicated is taken, creating a point-
in-time image of the data. This point-in-time image is then replicated to the destination volume by
Channel. The amount
example, if you have two MSA arrays performing replication (from Primary system to Remote
System), you will need 2 ADS licenses.
• Initial copy of data can be performed locally, reducing burden on wide area networks
• Support of both Ethernet and Fiber Channel interconnects provides flexible options to the application
environments. Remote Snap is not supported on SAS models.
• Snapshot based replication technology means only changed data will be replicated to alternate site
• Many to 1 replication (up to 4 nodes) - primary use case is to replicate from "many" branch offices to
the home office for the purpose of backing up data from the branches
• Single controller to single controller replication
• Advanced scheduler provides several options to IT administrators for business continuance
arrays. Protects existing investments and enhances business continuity planning objectives.
•
easy to use GUI.
• Snapshot based replication enables both local and remote recovery depending on the need. Snapshot
replication isolates problems to a specific point in time which can be selected by the administrator.
Additionally snapshot replication supports longer distance replication.
• Multiple relationships provide greater storage flexibility and utilization.
• Bundled 64 Snapshots and Volume Copy integration provides better efficiencies by combining the
management and array technologies to create local copies.
• Fast application recovery with minimal or no transaction loss
• Creation of disaster tolerant copies of your critical business data
• No-single-point-of-failure solution to increase the availability of your customers data
