HPE Data Storage R0Q74B HPE MSA 2060 16Gb FC SFF Storage

Model SKU: R0Q74B

The HPE MSA 2060 is a high-performance, hybrid-ready storage system designed to deliver affordable application acceleration for small and medium-sized enterprise deployments. Unlike the 2062 "flash bundle," the 2060 provides a clean-slate Configure-to-Order (CTO) approach, giving you the flexibility to build a storage pool tailored exactly to your specific capacity and speed requirements.

• Flexible Hybrid Architecture: The MSA 2060 allows for a seamless mix of high-performance SSDs and high-capacity HDDs. You can start with an all-HDD configuration and add flash enhancement as your budget and performance needs grow.

• Simplified Data Management: Features a modernized Management Utility (SMU v4) that guides users through setup and management, making enterprise storage accessible even to IT generalists without specialized storage backgrounds.

• Cost-Effective Redundancy: Equipped with dual-active controllers, ensuring high availability and no single point of failure for critical business applications.

• Next-Gen Data Protection: Supports virtualized snapshots for near-instant recovery and remote replication via Fibre Channel or iSCSI for reliable disaster recovery.

• Efficient Rebuilds with MSA-DP+: This innovative RAID technology eliminates traditional "spare" drives and spreads parity across all disks, resulting in significantly faster drive rebuild times and improved overall system performance.

• High-Speed Connectivity: The 16Gb Fibre Channel interface provides a low-latency, dedicated storage network, which is vital for maintaining performance in heavily virtualized environments (VMware, Hyper-V).

• Massive Throughput: The Gen6 architecture of the MSA 2060 delivers a substantial performance increase over Gen5, capable of handling demanding sequential read/write workloads and high-transaction databases.

• Automated Tiering (Optional): With an optional license, the system can automatically promote "hot" data to SSDs in real-time, ensuring that your most active workloads always benefit from flash-level speeds.

• Seamless Scalability: Supports "Data-in-Place" upgrades, allowing you to scale from a few terabytes to nearly 2PB of raw capacity without performing complex data migrations.
