Datasheet

Recovery is instant - revert data from any previous Snapshot or Volume Copy
Backup 'snapped' data to disk, virtual tape, or physical tape without a backup window
A 64 snapshot license and Volume Copy are included with all MSA 1040 models.
Support and updates are desired for bundled software functionalities (such as 64 LTU Snap and/or
Volume Copy etc. in the MSA 1040 products) a combination HW + SW support care pack must be
purchased.
HP does not provide warranty assistance for software products included with our base hardware
products. This would either be SupportPlus or SupportPlus24. The hardware warranty component of
these services is accounted for in the pricing of the SP and SP24 care packs.
Data Testing
Snap or clone data to test the performance of a software application on 'offline' production data.
Snap or clone data to test how a software patch or enhancement will function on 'offline' production
data.
MSA 1040 Snapshot and Clone :
All MSA 1040 models come STANDARD with 64 snapshots and Volume Copy software.
512 Snapshot option is also available for additional cost.

HP MSA Remote Snap
Software
HP MSA Remote Snap Software is array based software that provides remote replication on the HP
MSA 1040 Array products. HP Remote Snap is a form of asynchronous replication which consists of
replication of block-level data from a volume on a local system to a volume that may be on the same
system or on a second independent system. This second system may be collocated with the first
system or may be located at a remote site.
HP Remote Snap functionality is based on existing Snapshot technology offered by HP MSA SAN Array
products. Snapshots are used to track the data to be replicated as well as to determine the differences
in data updated on the master volume, minimizing the amount of data to be transferred.
HP Remote Snap replication technology provides the ability to accomplish key data management and
protection capabilities. First, because Remote Snap uses snapshots as the underlying technology it
creates multiple local recovery points which can be used for such tasks as to complement daily
backups; second, replication provides the ability to access data in a remote site which could be used
for dispersed operations; and third but definitely not least important replication allows for business
continuance in the event of a failure on the primary site.
In order to perform a replication, a snapshot of the volume to be replicated is taken, creating a point-
in-time image of the data. This point-in-time image is then replicated to the destination volume by
copying the data represented by the snapshot via a transport medium such as TCP/IP (iSCSI) or Fibre
Channel. The amount of data transferred is minimized though the use of snapshots whenever
possible.

( NOTE: One license per array is required for replication. For example, if you have
two MSA arrays performing replication (from Primary system to Remote System),
you will need 2 licenses).
Product Features Storage based asynchronous snapshot replication
Initial copy of data can be performed locally, reducing burden on wide area networks
Support of both Ethernet and Fiber Channel interconnects provides flexible options to the application
environments.
Snapshot based replication technology means only changed data will be replicated to alternate site
Many to 1 replication (up to 4 nodes) - primary use case is to replicate from "many" branch offices to
