fans, power supplies, and I/O modules for simple, fast installation and maintenance. Hot add expansion of
disk enclosures is also supported.
Snapshot and Clone
All MSA 2040 arrays come standard with 64 snaps, 512 snaps is available as an option. This controller
based functionality offers higher levels of data protection, enables an almost instant recovery from data
failure or corruption and offers alternative development testing of 'offline' production data and the ability
to backup snapped/cloned data.
Overview
The MSA 2040 arrays come integrated with web browser and CLI based software for storage and RAID
management, setup, configuration, and troubleshooting. This reduces the cost of ownership by
reducing the training and technical expertise necessary to install and maintain your HP storage
solution.
