HPE MSA 2060 10GbE iSCSI SFF Storage
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
HPE MSA 2060 10GbE iSCSI SFF Storage (R0Q76B) - Local Warranty
Hybrid-flash SAN storage for SMB and remote sites
The HPE MSA 2060 10GbE iSCSI SFF Storage (R0Q76B) is a dual-controller 2U array with 24 SFF bays, built to start small and scale: mix SSD, Enterprise SAS and Midline SAS drives in one system and let automated tiering place hot data on the fastest media.
10GbE iSCSI connectivity, up to 395,000 IOPS
Two active/active controllers with four 10GbE iSCSI ports each (8 per array) and 24 GB of cache deliver up to 395,000 IOPS — up to 80% faster than the previous MSA generation, according to HPE.
Designed for IT generalists
The Storage Management Utility v4 guides provisioning, snapshots and replication without storage-specialist skills; HPE MSA Health Check keeps an eye on firmware and configuration best practice.
