S2C84A HPE MSA 2072 10/25GbE iSCSI SFF Storage +C8R25B 10Gb SR iSCSI SFP+

The S2C84A is the high-performance Ethernet flagship of the MSA Gen7 family, combining the extreme IOPS potential of the SFF (Small Form Factor) chassis with the universal flexibility of 10Gb/25Gb iSCSI connectivity. Unlike standard arrays, the MSA 2072 model comes pre-loaded with two high-end SAS SSDs and the full Advanced Data Services software suite. This bundle includes the C8R25B 10Gb SFP+ transceivers, creating a "Flash-Ready" storage node that integrates instantly into your existing network. It is the definitive choice for enterprises requiring a high-speed, self-optimizing IP-SAN for intensive virtualization, SQL databases, and rapid-access application tiers.

• Out-of-the-Box Acceleration: The inclusion of two SSDs allows the system to establish a "Performance Tier" immediately, providing the sub-millisecond latency required by modern mission-critical applications.

• Intelligent Data Mobility: The built-in Gen7 tiering engine monitors data access patterns in real-time, automatically promoting high-demand blocks to the SSDs to maintain peak throughput during heavy workloads.

• Scalable IP-SAN Throughput: While bundled with 10Gb transceivers, the controllers are natively 25Gb-capable, allowing for a future-proof network transition without requiring a storage hardware refresh.

• Rapid Recovery Architecture: Features MSA-DP+ technology, which revolutionizes RAID by distributing spare capacity across all drives. This results in disk rebuild times that are up to 25x faster than traditional RAID 6, minimizing performance degradation during hardware events.

• The "Zero-Guesswork" Hybrid Kit: By bundling the flash media, the 10Gb optics, and the premium software licenses into a single SKU, HPE ensures a perfectly balanced and compatible high-performance system.

• Maximized ROI via Ethernet: Leverage your existing Ethernet switching infrastructure and internal networking expertise to deploy a high-speed SAN, avoiding the high costs and training associated with Fibre Channel.

• Density-Driven Performance: The 24-bay SFF design provides a high concentration of drive spindles in just 2U of rack space, delivering massive IOPS density for space-constrained data centers.

• Simplified Enterprise Management: Designed for the IT generalist, the MSA 2072 automates complex storage tasks like performance tuning and health monitoring, allowing your team to focus on higher-value business initiatives.
