Replacement Products and Transitions
Customers can continue to purchase the HPE MSA 1040, 2040, and 2042 Storage arrays until the DISC date of 31 January 2018. Customers should plan any last buy activities to happen BEFORE the DISC date. Once the DISC has been declared, orders will only be accepted based on material availability in the factories.
Customers should transition to the HPE MSA 1050, 2050, and 2052 Storage arrays as soon as possible to avoid product availability issues. The HPE MSA 2050 Storage system delivers 2x higher performance than the HPE MSA 2040 at the same price, delivering in excess of 200,000 IOPS starting at under $10,000 USD for affordable application acceleration. For more information on the HPE MSA 1050, 2050, and 2052, go to: https://hpe.com/storage/msa
Spare parts and product support will continue to be available for a 5-year period after the official declaration of OBSO of the HPE MSA 1040, 2040, and 2042 Storage arrays.
Beginning at the DISC date, no new interoperability items will be added to the HPE MSA 1040, 2040, or 2042 SPOCK compatibility matrix. No new host operating systems, HDD/SSD hardware, drive firmware, HBAs, or other network infrastructure components will be added to the SPOCK matrix. Firmware development will transition to the "sustain only" phase, where only critical security or data integrity issues will be considered for resolution.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise delivers a wide range of primary and secondary storage offerings to meet most any storage need or requirement. Customers are encouraged to contact their HPE representative or an HPE partner for appropriate guidance selecting a new platform that will best meet their needs:
