PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
HPE MSA 2070 SFF 2x32Gb FC 4-port Controller 12x1.92TB SSD 4x32Gb SFP FC XCVR 23TB Storage Array (P79245-B25) - Local Warranty
Pre-configured HPE MSA 2070 SAN array, ready to deploy
The HPE MSA 2070 SFF 2x32Gb FC 4-port Controller 12x1.92TB SSD 4x32Gb SFP FC XCVR 23TB Storage Array (P79245-B25) is an HPE Smart Choice bundle: a dual-controller HPE MSA 2070 array shipped with twelve Read Intensive SAS SSD drives already installed and configured as one pool, so it can be racked, zoned and serving volumes on day one.
32Gb Fibre Channel host connectivity
Two active/active 4-port 32Gb Fibre Channel controllers give 8 host ports per array, with a 4-pack of HPE MSA 32Gb Short Wave FC SFP+ transceivers included for the first four ports. MSA Gen7 adds a RAID-offload ASIC, 48 GB of cache and up to twice the IOPS of Gen6 for all-flash workloads.
Grow as you go
Add drives to the free bays or attach HPE MSA 2060 expansion enclosures as capacity needs grow; the array scales to 240 SFF or 120 LFF drives without replacing the controllers.
