HPE MSA 2060 Disk Array Rack 2U 24 HDD SSD 0 TB

The HPE MSA 2060 Disk Array Rack 2U is a hybrid storage array that supports up to 24 HDD or SSD drives in a 2U rack chassis. Designed for small and medium-sized businesses, it delivers high IOPS performance (up to 395,000 IOPS) and lets you deploy flash, hybrid or all-flash configurations from day one while allowing capacity and performance growth over time. The unit measures 445 x 508 x 89 mm, weighs 5 kg and is available in silver or black.

Advantages

The HPE MSA 2060 provides application acceleration at a lower cost with support for SSD and HDD media, automated tiering that moves hot data to faster media in real time, and virtualized snapshot technology for fast data protection and recovery. The storage management utility is designed for ease of use, so installation and routine administration can be performed by IT generalists rather than requiring a dedicated storage administrator. The array also supports encrypted drives with local key management and remote replication over Fibre Channel or iSCSI for disaster recovery.

Suitable for

• Small and medium-sized business application acceleration
• Mixed workload environments requiring hybrid flash and HDD capacity
• Environments needing affordable disaster recovery via replication (FC or iSCSI)
• Deployments where simple administration and snapshot-based protection are required

How to use

Install the HPE MSA 2060 in a standard 2U rack space, populate the drive bays with the chosen mix of SSDs and/or HDDs, and connect to your network using the supported host interfaces (configure Fibre Channel or iSCSI as required). Use the HPE MSA Storage Management Utility for initial setup, creating pools, LUNs/volumes, snapshot schedules and replication links. Configure automated tiering to ensure frequently accessed data is promoted to SSDs for higher performance, and enable encryption if required using encrypted drives and local key management.

Recommendations

For balanced performance and capacity, start with a hybrid configuration mixing SSDs for hot data and HDDs for bulk storage, enable automated tiering, and schedule regular snapshots plus remote replication to protect business-critical data while keeping administration simple.
