HPE MSA Storage
1040/2040/2042
Simple, high-availability and high-performance entry-class sharing storage
With digitalization and the spread of multi-media contents, like music and video, the data capacity handled at small-size environment has been increasing. In addition, data storage needs availability and cost reduction as well as the capacity.
The HPE MSA Storage products are perfectly equipped with expandability and availability needed to support SAN, store data and continuously operate systems. Those products also support integration of servers and storage and server virtualization to reduct device costs. As those products are easily managed and established, the amount of work needed to manage them remarkably decreases. In consequence, invisible costs related to their operation can be reduced.
The HPE MSA Storage is a convenient and high-availability, high-performance sharing storage solution that can solve problems taking place at small-size storage environment.

Aspects that can be realized with HPE MSA Storage
Before integration
Cost X | Expand the server to increase adoption, maintenance, and operational costs. |
Availability X | One server fails for a long time due to a failure of the server |
Operability X | Different types of disks, such as disk types, extension methods, and capacity limitations, are added to the administrative burden. |
After integration
Cost O | Costs for introduction, repairing and maintenance, and operation due to virtualization |
Availability O | Rapid service restoration through clustering |
Operability O | Management time and manpower reduced through integrating storage management into MSA storage |
Reasons for Choosing MSA
Stability
- When there are troubles, the one-stop restoration support HPE server and MSA storage have the same trouble reception center so consuming flowing can be prevented using MSA for virtualization HA clusters. In addition, MSA distinguishes reasons of troubles and supports to isolate them. MSA also can help quick restoration through remarkably reducing time and manpower taken to handle sudden troubles.
- Stably compatible HPE of servers and infrastructure comprehensively provides SAN infrastructure, including storage, servers, HBA, cables ad switches, to save labor taken to do verification.
- Important modules of available HPE MSA storage of module multiplexing are dualized. Systems don't stop even when there are troubles in some parts, so losses caused by service suspension can be prevented.
Convenience
- Management HPE MSA Storage which doesn't need professional knowledge of storage is equipped with a graphic management screen that can be intuitively operated. As it can be established and managed without professional knowledge of storage, managers' labor and education costs can be saved.
- Unified system management HPE ProLiant servers, HPE network switches and HPE MSA Storage can be managed※ on a single screen. Therefore, server systems can be easily managed and management time and manpower can be reduced.
High Performance for Price
- Adoption costs can be reduced through providing the best entry-class models at low prices. As a result, you can greatly save costs for adopting storages.
- HPE MSA Storage coping with high-level IO demands is as cheap as entry-class ones but boasts of the highest performance (maximum 122,000+IOPS※1) in the same class. As it satisfies high-level IO demands with small investment, it can raise the cost performance ratio of small systems.
Special Features and Strong Points of HPE MSA Storage
Simple and Easy Management
You can manage data easily through a new browser-based management screen (SMU v3).
You don't have to execute several tools because you can manage establishment and operation with one management screen. You also can check conditions of the entire system easily adopting a dashboard examining system conditions at one view and can choose operation screens by theme, so you can work more conveniently. Storage beginners can do easy management, so they can reduce time, manpower and costs necessary for management.
Entry-Class Most Powerful Performance
MSA2040 and MSA2042 Storages cope with high-level IO demands, such as small-size virtualization environment through materializing the most powerful performance 122,000IOPS in entry-class ones.
Dualization
HPE MSA Storage basically has dualized controller modules and power supplyㆍfan integrated modules, so it continues to operate when troubles happen to any one of them.
Even when there are power failures, cache data can be protected. Introducing compact flash memories in evacuation areas of cache data, HPE MSA Storage has unlimited time for cache protection.
Cache data can be continuously protected even if a power failure lasts long time.
