AJ749A - HP CTO StorageWorks Msa2000 Single I/o Enclosure Storage Enclosure 12 X 3.5-inch 1/3h

Description

The HP AJ749A is a 12-bay, 3.5-inch storage enclosure belonging to the HP Modular Smart Array (MSA) 2000 series. This enclosure is designed to provide scalable and flexible storage solutions for businesses. It supports both SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) and SATA (Serial ATA) hard disk drives, offering administrators the choice to mix and match drive types based on performance and cost requirements. The 3.5-inch form factor allows for high-capacity drives to be installed, making it suitable for storing large volumes of data. This specific model features a 'Single I/O' configuration. This means it has one set of I/O ports connecting to the host system. While this configuration is simpler and potentially more cost-effective, it lacks the redundancy of dual-port controllers, which is a consideration for mission-critical applications requiring high availability. The MSA2000 series is known for its ease of use and management, often integrating with HP's storage management software for simplified administration. The HP AJ749A enclosure is typically deployed in rackmount environments, fitting into standard 19-inch server racks. It connects to a host server or storage controller via SAS cables. This allows organizations to easily expand their storage capacity without needing to replace their existing servers. It's a common solution for departmental storage, backup targets, or as a direct-attached storage (DAS) solution for servers requiring additional disk space.
