FEATURES
Composable Infrastructure Efficiency and Speed
The HPE Synergy D3940 Storage Module can run anything and is composed with compute resources to meet the demands of a wide range of data workloads.
Now you can move faster to accelerate service delivery by quickly and easily provisioning zoned storage resources within the frame. Pooled storage resources provide the flexibility and performance needed to accommodate a wide range of workloads.
Work efficiently, quickly and confidently to implement changes for zoned storage with one-tool, one-step template-based operations. Changes such as updating firmware are automatically implemented with the infrastructure online significantly reducing errors and delivering real-time compliance.
Flexible Capacity for a Wide Range of Workloads
The HPE Synergy D3940 Storage Module allows disk drives to be flexibly grouped and composed with any Synergy Compute Module or with multiple Compute Modules in the same Synergy Frame.
The ability to mix and match drive types and sizes from an array of Small Form Factor (SFF) drive options provides flexibility to deliver the right balance of performance and capacity for a variety of workloads such as database, collaboration (email/communication), file, Web, and media streaming.
Expand storage capacity easily by adding up to 4 Synergy D3940 Storage Modules per HPE Synergy Frame, offering up to 160 drives which equates to 16 SFF drives per rack unit.
The Synergy D3940 Storage Module is configurable as ultra-dense direct attached zoned storage or can be deployed as flexible scale-out software defined shared storage when virtualized and provisioned by StoreVirtual VSA.
High Performance, Highly Available Composable Storage
The HPE Synergy D3940 Storage Module provides a non-blocking 12 Gb SAS fabric from end-to-end which enables full utilization of flash storage for workloads requiring superb I/O performance.
Forty Small Form Factor (SFF) hot-plug SAS/SATA drive bays per storage module can provide a total of up to 160 spindles to be zoned as needed to any or multiple Compute Modules within a single HPE Synergy Frame.
The Synergy D3940 Storage Module can be configured with single or dual I/O adapters in each Storage Module and single or dual HPE Synergy 12 G SAS
HPE Synergy 12000 Frame Compute, Storage, and Graphics Modules
- HPE Synergy 12000 Frame
- HPE Synergy 660 Gen10 Compute Module
- HPE Synergy 480 Gen10 Compute Module
- HPE Synergy 480 Gen9 Compute Module
- HPE Synergy 480 Gen10 Multi-MXM Graphics Expansion Module
Performance
Compute and memory resources on the Synergy 12000 Frame are provided Gen9 and Gen10 compute modules offering dual and quad-processor platforms to support several different workloads and operating systems in the same chassis. Changes such as updating firmware are automatically implemented by the Synergy 12000 Frame OneView management software delivering real-time compliance.
Storage
The HPE D3940 Storage module supports a family of 12G SAS or 6G SATA HDD and SSD Smart Drives. You can install up to five HPE D3940 Storage Modules per HPE Synergy 12000 Frame offering up to 200 SFF drives. With the optional Synergy storage module users can achieve up to 153TB with SSDs or 80TB using HDDs, per storage module.
Memory
Memory is provided by the supported Synergy compute modules that are supported in the HPE Synergy 12000 frame.
Expansion
The 10U HPE Synergy 12000 Frame provides power, cooling, management, and networking. Several different supported Synergy compute and storage modules provide the compute, memory, and storage. Supported configurations include up to 12 half-height, 6 full-height, and half-height double-wide, with configurations that also include a combination of these modules depending on your networking needs. HPE’s OneView software gathers all the hardware resources, each of which supports an integrated Lights Out module, as virtual assets that can then be distributed to accommodate specific workloads—very rapidly. This system is also highly redundant ensuring high-availability of system resources. The composability of the system refers to how the virtual assets can be easily assembled to support other workloads, or quickly allocated to support other applications or environments. Single Frame configurations may be used for Development and Proof of Concept (POC) environments but are not supported for use in Production environments. Production environments require a minimum of three Synergy frames with two Synergy Composers and two Synergy Image Streamers. Three Frames is considered a minimal configuration and requires two Interconnect Modules, two transceivers, and four cables for operation. Included with the D3940, StoreVirtual VSA software which provides advanced data services giving you the benefits and resiliency of shared storage within the enclosure without purchasing additional storage hardware. The storage module provides additional storage for both the compute modules present in the host Frame and can also be accessed by other Frames and connected enclosures. Compatible compute modules include:
- HPE Synergy 660 Gen10 Compute Module (2-4-socket, General Purpose)
- HPE Synergy 480 Gen10 Compute Module (2-socket, General Purpose)
- HPE Synergy 680 Gen9 Compute Module (2-4-socket, mission critical)
- HPE Synergy 660 Gen9 Compute Module (2-4-socket, general purpose)
- HPE Synergy 620 Gen9 Compute Module (2-socket, mission critical)
- HPE Synergy 480 Gen9 Compute Module
Management
The HPE Synergy D3940 Storage Module is managed by the HPE Synergy 12000 Frame enclosure, which uses OneView software to create pools of storage resources that can be composed, deployed and provisioned simply, and very rapidly. Templates and profiles developed for specific workloads are included with OneView providing greater agility when provisioning compute, memory, storage, and fabric resources.
Summary
With its massive storage capacity and reliable capabilities, the HPE Synergy D3940 Storage Module is the perfect way to store your data using HPE’s Synergy 12000 Frame.
