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
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.
