Looking for more than the 64 snapshots an HPE MSA 2040 includes? TC462AAE is the HPE MSA 512-Snapshot Software license, and TC462A is its alternate number. It is the optional software for the MSA 2040 that raises the snapshot count to 512.
Snapshots let backups of snapped data go to disk, virtual tape or physical tape without a backup window. They also let a software patch or application be tested on offline copies of production data, by snapping or cloning it first. HPE MSA Remote Snap replication is based on the same snapshot technology.
The 512 Snapshot license is one of three licenses in the MSA Data Services Suite, Q0H99A MSA Data Services Suite. A system holds 512 volumes and up to 512 snapshots, and Volume Copy allows up to 128 copies. Other options are in HPE cables, kits and other parts.
