HP StorageWorks MSA 2040 SAS Storage

The MSA 2040 SAS SAN delivers flexible, high availability, extremely scalable and performance-driven storage for the most demanding applications, whether it be consolidation or virtualization, remote office deployments, and snapshot or archive repositories. The MSA 2040 SAS model reduces bottlenecks with end-to-end 12Gb SAS connectivity, double the throughput seen in it’s predecessor, the P2000 G3. SAS SANs are great options for SMBs interested in consolidation or virtualization as they can support multiple server hosts without requiring expensive switches or additional equipment. As the high-performance sibling to the MSA 1040, the MSA 2040 offers twice the number of host ports, SSD support and twice the expandability over the MSA 1040. In addition to the MSA 2040 SAS model, HP also offers the MSA 2040 SAN model, which features converged SAN controllers that allow user-defined interfaces (1GbE iSCSI, 10GbE iSCSI, 8Gb FC, 16Gb FC or mixed mode FC/iSCSI) based on SFP selection. All MSA 2040 models include 24-bay 2.5” hard drive or 12-bay 3.5” hard drive chassis options. Take advantage of the performance boosts offered in the MSA 2040’s advanced virtualization, automated tiering, and provisioning capabilities today and customize your storage system below!
