HPE Data Storage S1H45A HPE MSA 2070 10GBASE-T iSCSI LFF Storage

The S1H45A is the ultimate solution for enterprises seeking high-capacity storage with the ultimate simplicity of RJ45 Ethernet connectivity. Featuring the seventh-generation MSA 2070 LFF (Large Form Factor) chassis, this model is uniquely equipped with 10GBASE-T iSCSI ports, allowing it to integrate directly into standard Copper-based network infrastructures. By eliminating the need for expensive optical transceivers and specialized fiber cabling, the S1H45A provides a massive, high-speed storage repository that is as easy to deploy as a standard network server. It is the perfect fit for cost-conscious data centers, video surveillance hubs, and backup environments that prioritize high-volume "Bulk" storage and familiar Category 6A/7 cabling.

• Copper-Based 10Gb Speed: Delivers full 10Gb/s iSCSI throughput over standard twisted-pair copper, ensuring consistent block-storage performance without the fragility of optical fiber.

• Massive Volume Efficiency: The 12-bay LFF design is optimized for high-capacity Midline SAS drives, allowing for the creation of massive storage pools for unstructured data or long-term archives.

• Intelligent Auto-Tiering: Features the Gen7 real-time tiering engine, which identifies frequently accessed data and keeps it on the fastest available media, while migrating archival data to high-capacity HDDs.

• Simplified Serviceability: The 10GBASE-T ports support standard RJ45 connectors, making physical deployment and troubleshooting much faster for generalist IT staff.

• Lowest Networking TCO: By utilizing 10GBASE-T, the S1H45A eliminates the expense of SFP+ transceivers and specialized fiber patches, significantly reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

• Familiar Infrastructure: Ideal for organizations with existing copper-wired server rooms; you can deploy a high-performance SAN using the same tools and cabling standards you already use for your servers.

• "Bulk" Storage Specialist: The LFF (3.5") form factor provides the most cost-effective path to multi-terabyte storage, making this array the premier choice for secondary storage and massive data repositories.

• Enterprise-Class Resilience: Despite its focus on simplicity and cost, the S1H45A includes all the high-end MSA features, such as 99.999% availability, MSA-DP+ RAID protection, and cloud-based health monitoring.
