All MSA 2040 models offer a common set of valuable features:
(
NOTE:
Customers must upgrade their MSA 2040 controller firmware to GL101 or later for iSCSI functionality
)
MSA 2040 supports SSD drives which allow IT managers to boost IOPS performance
Ease of management featuring browser-based out-of-band access. This allows a department or small company to effectively
handle growing storage requirements, with the aid of an intuitive GUI to administer the unit with a minimum of complexity. Ideal
for local or remote installations.
MSA 2040 comes standard with 64 controller-based snapshots and clone capability. 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 and high-speed SSD drives, enterprise-class SAS, and SAS Midline
drives.
MSA 2040 can have a maximum number of MSA 2040 LFF drive enclosures (7), a maximum number of D2700 SFF drive
enclosures (7), or mix both sizes. The array can grow incrementally from a few drives to 96 LFF or 199 SFF drives.
Vdisks can be spanned across multiple enclosures
RAID levels 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 50
Maximums vary by RAID levels: 2 drive max for RAID level 1; max of 16 drives for RAID levels 0, 3, 5, 6, and 10; max of 32 drives
for RAID level 50
512 LUNs with LUN sizes greater than 40TB depending on the RAID configuration chosen. The maximum LUN size is 64TB
Non-disruptive on-line controller code upgrade (requires dual controllers w/ multi-pathing software)
Upgradable by design. Owners of a P2000 G3 array are able to do data-in-place controller upgrades to the new MSA 2040 array.
This unique ability protects the earlier investments in drives, and JBODs. (
