Description
High-Performance and Reliable Storage
The HP MSA 2040 Energy Star LFF Disk Enclosure (model number M0S96A) is a storage solution designed for high-performance and reliable data storage. It is a part of the HP MSA 2040 series of storage arrays that are optimized for small and medium-sized businesses, as well as enterprise branch offices.
The LFF (large form factor) disk enclosure supports 3.5-inch SATA, SAS, and SSD drives, providing ample storage capacity for a variety of applications. The MSA 2040 series features dual controllers for high availability and data protection, as well as an energy-efficient design that meets the Energy Star certification.
The MSA 2040 series also provides advanced data protection features such as snapshot, remote replication, and dual-parity RAID protection, ensuring the reliability and availability of stored data. Additionally, the series supports multiple host interface options, including Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and SAS, making it easy to integrate with existing infrastructures.
Scalability and Flexibility
Scalability refers to the ability of a system to expand its capacity to accommodate increasing demands. In the case of the HP MSA 2040 Energy Star Lff Disk Enclosure, scalability is achieved through the ability to add more disk drives to increase storage capacity, as well as add additional enclosures to expand the overall system. This allows the user to grow their storage system as their needs increase, without having to replace the entire system.
Flexibility refers to the ease of adapting to changing requirements. The HP MSA 2040 Energy Star Lff Disk Enclosure offers flexible storage options through its ability to support multiple disk drive types and capacities, as well as the ability to add or remove disk drives without affecting the existing data. This makes it easier for users to adapt to changing storage requirements, such as accommodating growth in data, or changing data retention policies.
Advanced Data Protection
The M0S96A HP MSA 2040 Energy Star LFF Disk Enclosure provides advanced data protection features to ensure the safe and secure storage of critical data.
- Dual Controller Architecture: The MSA 2040 features a dual controller architecture that provides redundancy and automatic failover protection in the event of a controller failure. This ensures continuous access to data even in the case of an unexpected system failure.
- Advanced Data Snapshots: The MSA 2040 supports advanced data snapshots that provide point-in-time copies of data for backup and recovery purposes. This allows administrators to quickly recover data in the event of a data loss or corruption.
- Remote Replication: The MSA 2040 supports remote replication, allowing administrators to replicate data to a remote storage location for disaster recovery purposes. This provides a secure and reliable way to ensure data availability in the event of a site disaster.
- Secure Data Encryption: The MSA 2040 supports secure data encryption, ensuring that sensitive data is protected and secure even if the storage device is lost or stolen. This provides an extra layer of protection for critical data.
- Redundant Power Supplies: The MSA 2040 features redundant power supplies, ensuring that power is always available to the storage device even in the case of a power supply failure. This protects against data loss or corruption due to power issues.
