S2C83A HPE MSA 2072 16Gb Fibre Channel SFF Storage +C8R24B 16Gb SW FC SFP+

The S2C83A is a premium, performance-accelerated storage solution that combines the HPE MSA 2072 SFF array with the C8R24B 16Gb Fibre Channel transceiver kit. Distinguishing itself from the standard 2070 models, the MSA 2072 comes pre-configured with two high-performance Write-Intensive SSDs and a full Advanced Data Services Suite license. This bundle is specifically engineered for businesses that need immediate, out-of-the-box flash acceleration and high-speed SAN connectivity. It serves as the ultimate "Hybrid-Ready" foundation, delivering elite Fibre Channel throughput and automated storage tiering for the most demanding virtualized and database environments.

• Instant Flash Acceleration: Unlike base arrays, the 2072 includes dual SSDs that immediately act as a high-speed read/write tier, drastically lowering latency for critical application workloads.

• 16Gb Fiber Velocity: Utilizing the bundled C8R24B transceivers, the system maintains a dedicated, high-bandwidth SAN link that ensures the host connection can keep pace with the internal flash-speed data movement.

• Predictive Performance Tiering: The system automatically moves the most frequently accessed data blocks to the included SSDs in real-time, ensuring "hot" files always live on the fastest media without manual intervention.

• Enhanced System Resilience: The active-active controller design provides 99.999% availability, while the bundled Advanced Data Services license enables comprehensive disaster recovery through remote replication.

• Superior "Out-of-the-Box" Value: The S2C83A bundle provides significant savings by including the SSDs, the advanced software license, and the 16Gb transceivers in a single, verified SKU.

• Zero-Touch Optimization: By pre-bundling SSDs and the tiering license, HPE has removed the complexity of designing a hybrid array; the system is ready to self-optimize from the moment it is powered on.

• Reduced Procurement Complexity: Avoid the risk of missing components; this all-in-one package ensures you have the storage, the acceleration media, and the network connectivity required for a high-performance SAN.

• Investment-Grade Scalability: Start with a high-performance flash-tier base and expand as needed with either high-speed SAS or high-capacity midline drives, protecting your initial capital investment.
