Marketing Information
The HPE Synergy D3940 Storage Module is a directed attached storage module with 40 Small Form Factor (SFF) drive bays designed for use in HPE 12000 Synergy frames. Through the HPE Synergy 12Gb SAS Connection Module it provides composable storage for up to 10 compute modules in a single frame. Synergy storage is optimized for use as either a direct attached storage array or as software-defined storage using HPE StoreVirtual VSA or similar solutions.
HPE Synergy is a single infrastructure of physical and virtual pools of compute, storage, and fabric resources, and a single management interface that allows IT to instantly assemble and re-assemble resources in any configuration. As the foundation for the New Style of Business infrastructure, HPE Synergy eliminates hardware and operational complexity so IT can precisely deliver infrastructure to applications faster and with greater flexibility.
Synergy storage enables a variety of workloads by permitting multiple drive types to be configured in the same storage module. HPE Synergy D3940 Storage Modules support a family of 12G SAS or 6G *SATA HDD and SSD Smart Drives. Storage modules connect to compute modules within a frame through the Synergy 12 Gb SAS Connection Module. Any number of drive bays in a storage module can be composed with any compute module containing a Smart Array controller connected to the SAS fabric, allowing for efficient utilization of available drives. Synergy storage can scale to 200 SFF drives with five storage modules in a single HPE Synergy 12000 Frame. Adding a second I/O adapter and second SAS connection module provides a redundant path to SAS drives inside the Storage Module, ensuring high availability. The modular design of the Synergy D3940 Storage Module allows it to slide out from the frame to service drives or I/O adapters without interrupting operation of other drives within the module. Additionally, the Synergy D3940 Storage Module is optimized for solid state drives using a high performance SAS connection with sixteen 12 Gb/s SAS lanes. This allows a single Synergy storage module to deliver as much as 8 times the bandwidth of other JBOD options reaching up to 2M IOPs.
The HPE Synergy D3940 Storage Module provides a large, efficient pool of storage resources which can be allocated to meet changing server workloads and business needs. Synergy Storage enables industry leading bandwidths and performance. Within the frame, an administrator is able to create virtual JBODs or vitual drives for any compute module, remap connections, or change personalities; all done with stored profiles. Together, the D3940 Storage Module and 12Gb SAS Connection Module fully integrate with other HPE Synergy hardware and software components and are managed and configured with HPE Synergy Composer. The D3940 Storage Module provides leading storage density and flexibility to configure storage to meet business needs. A modular design simplifies serviceability and can be configured with dual HPE Synergy 12Gb SAS Flexible Storage I/O Adapters for high availability
