The bidirectional HPE MSA 1040 Array solution addresses the growing need among businesses to ensure
continuous availability of applications that are critical to daily business operations. HPE
MSA 1040 enables two sites
in a remote replication connection to use each other as a destination to maintain replicated copies of online data.
This maximizes resource utilization while enabling business continuance, even in the event of disaster.
Disaster Tolerance
The MSA 1040 Arrays utilize snapshot data online and in real time to a remote MSA 1040 through a local or
extended storage area network (SAN). Additionally, data replication can be bidirectional, meaning that a storage
array can be both a source and a destination. A particular LUN can be replicated in only one direction between the
two storage arrays. Write I/O data sent to the source is replicated by HPE
MSA 1040 Array to the destination. A pair
of properly configured HPE MSA 1040 arrays is a replication solution that guarantees data integrity in the event of
a storage system or site failure.
First initial copy
When a DR site is initially created a initial copy of the data from the source volume to the target volume must occur.
The MSA 1040 array allows this first copy to take place locally. After completion the disks can me manually moved
to the remote location. Subsequent changes will only remotely copy the changed blocks.
SAN Extensions
HPE MSA 1040 Array provides the capability to replicate data over direct Fibre Channel. The distances supported
over dark fiber are determined by the speed of the dark fiber connection and the technology used to communicate
over the dark fiber.
Path failover
(MPIO)
Multipath failover (MPIO) is supported on all operating systems
