Description
Capacity and Performance Specifications
The HP MSA 2040 Energy Star SAS Dual Controller bundle with 24 1.2TB 12G SAS 10K SFF HDDs provides a storage capacity of 28.8TB.
Here is an explanation of the key specifications:
- Capacity: The bundle comes with 24 1.2TB hard disk drives, providing a total storage capacity of 28.8TB.
- SAS Dual Controller: The MSA 2040 has dual controllers that provide high availability and failover protection for your data. In the event of a controller failure, the other controller takes over, ensuring the continued operation of the storage system.
- Energy Star Certified: The MSA 2040 is Energy Star certified, meaning it meets energy efficiency requirements set by the US Environmental Protection Agency. This helps to reduce energy consumption and costs while also benefiting the environment.
- SAS Interface: The hard disk drives in the MSA 2040 use the SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface, which provides high-speed data transfer rates and increased reliability compared to other interfaces.
- 10K RPM Spindle Speed: The 1.2TB hard disk drives in the bundle have a spindle speed of 10,000 RPM, which provides faster data access times compared to slower-spinning drives. This can help improve overall system performance.
- 12G SAS: The hard disk drives in the bundle support the 12G SAS interface, which provides increased data transfer speeds compared to previous SAS generations.
- Small Form Factor (SFF): The hard disk drives in the bundle are Small Form Factor (SFF) drives, which have a compact design and take up less space compared to larger drives. This makes them well suited for use in storage arrays and other space-constrained environments.
Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings
The HP MSA 2040 Energy Star SAS Dual Controller bundle with 24 1.2TB 12G SAS 10K SFF Hdd and a total capacity of 28.8TB, is designed to provide energy efficiency and cost savings for data storage. This storage system is Energy Star certified, which means it meets the energy efficiency standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The system is designed to consume less power and run cooler, resulting in lower energy costs and a reduced carbon footprint.
The dual controller design of the system helps to ensure data availability and reduce downtime, while the use of 1.2TB 12G SAS 10K SFF Hdd drives provides high-performance storage. The bundle includes 24 drives, which can be configured in a variety of ways to meet different storage requirements. This gives organizations the flexibility to store a large amount of data, while still maintaining high levels of performance and energy efficiency.
In addition to the energy savings, the HP MSA 2040 Energy Star SAS Dual Controller bundle also provides cost savings. The system is designed to be easy to install, configure and manage, which reduces the time and resources required to manage data storage. It also provides a flexible and scalable solution that can grow as the organization’s needs change, making it a cost-effective solution for both small and large organizations.
Data Protection and Security Features
The HP MSA 2040 Energy Star SAS Dual Controller storage solution is equipped with various data protection and security features that ensure the safety and confidentiality of stored data.
- Dual Controller: The dual controller architecture provides redundancy and high availability, ensuring that data is always accessible and protected in the event of a controller failure.
- Redundant Power Supply: The HP MSA 2040 Energy Star SAS Dual Controller comes with a redundant power supply that ensures that power is always available and the storage system remains operational even in case of a power failure.
- Encryption: The storage solution supports encryption that can protect the data on the drives by using a secure key to encrypt the data. This ensures that even if the drive is removed, the data cannot be accessed without the encryption key.
- Snapshots and Cloning: The HP MSA 2040 Energy Star SAS Dual Controller supports snapshots and cloning, which allows for multiple versions of the data to be created and stored. This provides protection against accidental data loss or corruption.
- Access Controls: The storage solution includes access controls that allow administrators to manage who has access to the data stored on the system. This helps ensure that data is protected from unauthorized access.
- Remote Replication: The HP MSA 2040 Energy Star SAS Dual Controller supports remote replication, which allows for the data stored on the system to be replicated to a remote site for disaster recovery purposes. This provides protection against data loss due to events such as natural disasters or hardware failures.
