S1H43A HPE MSA 2070 10/25GbE iSCSI LFF Storage +C8R25B 10Gb SR iSCSI SFP+

The S1H43A is the high-capacity IP-storage powerhouse of the seventh-generation MSA family, featuring the HPE MSA 2070 LFF (Large Form Factor) chassis bundled with the C8R25B 10Gb SFP+ iSCSI transceivers. This configuration is specifically designed for enterprises that require a balance of massive raw storage volume and high-speed Ethernet connectivity. By utilizing the LFF chassis, the S1H43A excels in environments managing large-scale unstructured data, backup repositories, and video archives, all while integrating seamlessly into existing 10GbE network infrastructures. It provides a robust, cost-effective SAN solution that brings enterprise-level data services to the Ethernet fabric.

• Optimized IP Throughput: The 10GbE iSCSI interface, powered by the C8R25B transceivers, ensures a stable, high-bandwidth link that minimizes latency for block-level data transfers over standard Ethernet.

• Massive Volume Density: The 12-bay LFF architecture allows for the deployment of ultra-high-capacity "Midline" drives, enabling massive terabyte-per-rack-unit ratios for deep storage needs.

• Intelligent Workload Acceleration: Features an enhanced Gen7 engine that automates data placement, ensuring that performance-critical files stay on high-speed media while bulk data migrates to lower-cost tiers.

• Cloud-Ready Health Monitoring: Utilizes the MSA Health Check tool to provide proactive, cloud-based analytics, identifying configuration risks before they impact system availability.

• Turnkey Ethernet SAN: By bundling the 10Gb transceivers (C8R25B) with the LFF array, this package offers a "ready-to-run" solution that eliminates the complexity of sourcing compatible networking components.

• Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): Leverage your existing Ethernet switches and management expertise to deploy a high-performance SAN without the specialized costs associated with Fibre Channel.

• Hybrid Storage Flexibility: The LFF design provides the unique ability to mix high-capacity spinning disks for archives with high-performance SSDs for application acceleration in the same 2U chassis.

• Enterprise-Class Business Continuity: Standard features like space-efficient snapshots and remote asynchronous replication ensure your large-scale data sets are always protected against localized or site-wide disasters.
